Lens Materials
Polycarbonate |
HI-INDEX |
|
Polycarbonate is a safety lens that is impact resistant. It is lighter and thinner than plastic lenses and offer UV protection from the sun’s damaging rays.
Recommendations: We highly recommend polycarbonate lenses to all children as a safety precaution and well as patients with a mild to moderately high refractive errors. Certain eyeglass frames (rim-less or drill mounted) also require polycarbonate lenses due to the way the lenses must be cut to fit the frame. |
Hi-Index lenses are even thinner than polycarbonate. They come in different degrees of thinness with the thinnest available being a hi-index 1.74 lens. Although they are not impact resistant they are still stronger than regular plastic lenses.
Recommendations: Moderate to high refractive errors for the thinnest lenses available. |
Anti-reflective coatings are the difference between seeing vs seeing in high definition.
LENS COATING AND TREATMENTS
ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATINGSAnti-glare or anti-reflective lens coatings speak for themselves. Besides greatly reducing the amount of glare hitting your eyes, they make your lenses cosmetically more appealing allowing your eyes to be visible behind your glasses. Premium anti-reflective coating are best at resisting scratches and are easier to clean. They can also filter harmful blue light emmitted from your digital devices.
WARNING: NOT ALL COATINGS ARE CREATED EQUAL! We only use premium quality anti-glare coatings. Recommendations: Highly recommended for everyone! Especially important if you use your glasses to drive (especially at night), computer glasses to reduce glare from the computer screen, outdoor usage such as water sports, and for cosmetically more appealing lenses. Can you tell which side has an anti-glare coating?
