. CR-39 Plastic (1.49)
(Recommended for prescriptions 0.00 to+/- 2.00)
CR-39 Plastic is also commonly referred to as your standard eyeglass lens material. The abbreviation stands for “Columbia Resin #39”, because it was the 39th formula of a thermosetting plastic project developed by PPG industries. This milestone in the optics industry allowed for great creativity. Some of the more well not benefits of plastic lenses are that they weight half the amount of your typical glass lenses. Plastic lenses also allow for better Ultraviolet (UV) light protection, and are safer because they are less prone to shattering. Plastic lenses can be made into almost any prescription and can also be used to make sunglasses.
CR-39 is a trademark of PPG Industries.
Polycarbonate Lenses (1.59)
(Recommended for prescriptions 0.00 to+/-4.00)
Polycarbonate lenses received their name because they have polymers grouped together that are linked by carbonate groups. This chemical compound allows for this material to be the most impact resistant lenses. They are also 30% thinner than the standard lens (CR-39 Plastic). Polycarbonate lenses are usually recommended for people who are active in sports and children.
Hi-Index Lenses (1.60)
(Recommended for prescriptions 0.00 to+/-6.00)
Hi-index lenses are made of a special plastic material. The term hi-index is a reference for the index of refraction for a specific lens material. For those who have a higher prescription, hi-index lenses are a perfect chose. The reason is because the lens is a little thinner than polycarbonate lenses and would weigh significantly less than the standard lens.
Extra Thin Lenses (1.67)
(Recommended for prescriptions over +/-6.00)
Extra thin lenses are the optimal chose for those who have a high prescription and want to have a frame that looks fashionable and comfortable. These extra thin lenses are the most expensive lenses that we carry, because they offer the most attractive and functional lens type for someone who has a high prescription. They are also 45% thinner than the standard lens.
Transition Lenses
Transition lenses are an all in one lens type. Its special chemical coating allows your lenses to change to a dark tint in the sunlight and turn clear indoors. Transition lenses are great for people who want to have eyeglasses and sunglasses in one pair. These lenses allow for 100% protection for the Ultra-Violet rays.
Polarized Lenses
Many outdoor sportsmen and women have been enjoying polarized sunglasses for years. In the past decade growth of polarized sunglasses has increased into the general population who spend time outdoors as well. Polarized lenses work by reducing the directions of the sunlight. Polarized lenses filter the horizontal and diagonal directions of the sunlight and only allows for vertical sunlight to enter, reducing the glare and darkening the image.
UV Protection
Our ultraviolet coating on the lenses is invisible. It main purpose is to protect your eyes for the harmful UV rays. Overexposure to the sun can cause retinal problems, cataracts, macular degeneration as well as many other problems. With our UV coating that is invisible to the naked eye, it will protect your eyes from the damaging effects of the sun.
Anti-Reflective
Our anti-reflective coating is applied to our lenses during the manufacturing process. They reduce the amount of internal and external reflections of a standard lens. This in tern makes the lens more efficient and allows for a clearer vision quality. Everybody can benefit from anti-reflective coating, but my nature is most beneficial for people have decreased vision at night, and higher prescriptions.
Anti-Scratch
Our scratch resistant coating is applied to our lenses during the manufacturing process. This anti-scratch coating helps in reducing scratches on your lenses, but no one lens is scratch proof. Even diamonds and glass are scratchable!
