More Details On Prescription Lens Type
Standard Plastic / CR-39 Lenses – 1.50 Index
CR-39 lenses are the standard plastic lenses included from most eyewear retailers today. While they certainly aren’t the clearest, lightest, or thinnest lens, they can get the job done well for a lot of people. However, they are only recommended for more basic prescriptions with a sphere (SPH) correction of approximately +/- 4.00 and below.
If you have a relatively strong to very strong prescription, CR-39 lenses won’t work for you at all as their edges become to thick to fit in any frames with stronger prescriptions. Trying to make them fit can distort or even break your glasses frame. They also aren’t typically available as an aspheric shape but can be modified at an extra cost.
Trivex Lenses – 1.53 Index
Trivex lenses were created by PPG Industries to be a direct competitor to polycarbonate lenses. Like polycarbonate, they are thinner (by 20%) and lighter than standard plastic lenses and offer excellent impact resistance.
Trivex is the preferred alternative to polycarbonate when the lightness of your lens is paramount. Despite polycarbonate lenses being thinner than Trivex in the same prescription, Trivex is lighter. They are about 20% lighter than standard lenses as well and are recommended for a lens sphere (SPH) of +/- 3.00 and below.
1.67 High Index Lenses
1.67 high index lenses will be the first real dramatic jump into high index lenses for most people. Additionally, this is the most common index of lens used for those with moderate to stronger prescriptions.
They are remarkably thin lenses and remain an excellent choice for anyone seeking comfort paired with sharp, minimally distorted vision. They are up to 20% thinner & lighter than polycarbonate and 40% thinner & lighter than standard CR-39 lenses with the same prescription.
