Trivex lenses are the most popular lens material for people that are looking for superior optics and enhanced durability. They are made from a lightweight, impact-resistant material that offers excellent optical clarity and UV protection. Trivex lenses are The Optician’s eyeglass lens of choice when it comes to scratch resistance and durability.
Trivex lenses offer excellent optical clarity, which means they provide clear and sharp vision. They are designed to minimize distortions and aberrations, resulting in accurate and precise vision correction.
One of the primary advantages of Trivex lenses is their high impact resistance. They are considered to be one of the most impact-resistant lens materials available for eyeglasses. This makes them a popular choice for individuals who are engaged in sports or other activities that may expose their eyeglasses to potential impact or damage.
Trivex lenses have a high refractive index, which means they can be made thinner than some other lens materials. Thinner lenses are aesthetically pleasing, as they reduce the magnification and distortion of the wearer's eyes. This lens material is significantly lighter than glass lenses and slightly lighter than standard plastic (CR-39) lenses. Their lightweight nature makes them comfortable to wear for extended periods and reduces the strain on the wearer's nose and ears.
Trivex lenses inherently provide 100% protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This feature helps to safeguard the eyes from the long-term effects of UV exposure, such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
Trivex lenses are suitable for most all types of prescription lens designs including Single Vision and our Multifocal Progressive lenses. They can be customized to meet specific vision correction needs, including astigmatism, nearsightedness (myopia), and farsightedness (hyperopia).
Trivex lenses have good scratch resistance, although not as high as certain lens materials like glass or polycarbonate. Nevertheless, they can withstand everyday wear and tear without significant scratching under normal use.
