Lens Options
There are several options when it comes to choosing lenses. We look forward to helping you select the one that best suits your prescription.
Glass Lenses
While glass lenses are the most scratch-resistant and provide the best optical quality, they are heavier and thicker than other materials.
Plastic Lenses
Lighter than glass lenses, plastic lenses are also less scratch-resistant. Special coatings can help make them more resilient.
High Index Plastic Lenses
Thinner and lighter than standard plastic, high index lenses also have the benefit of providing scratch resistance and UV protection without a tint. We recommend them for high prescriptions because they minimize edge thickness.
Polycarbonate Lenses
Similar in benefit to high index plastic lenses, these have the added advantage of being extremely resistant to impact. For that reason, we recommend polycarbonate lenses for safety glasses and for children's eyewear.
