Product Information

Selecting the right Lens Material is very important to ensure that you have the right lenses for your lifestyle. Below are some considerations:


PLASTIC
Feature - The most commonly used Lens Material. Much lighter than glass.

Benefit - More comfortable to wear. Recommend adding Scratch -Coating to reduce scratching from ordinary usage and to extend the life of the lens. We also recommend adding an ULTRA VIOLET treatment, which will block out 100% of the harmful ultra violet rays from the sun. This will protect your eyes from physiological damage and help prevent cataracts.


POLYCARBONATE
Feature - 33% thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses.

Benefit - Greater comfort. Polycarbonate Lens are scratch resistant and come pre-treated with an ULTRA VIOLET treatment. In addition, they are Shatter Resistant, making them a great lens choice for active adults and children.


HIGH INDEX PLASTIC
Feature - US Vision offers several premium High Index lenses. These lenses provide the thinnest and lightest lenses possible for strong prescriptions.

Benefit - Very comfortable to wear. They are scratch resistant to extend the life of the lenses. Combined with a fashion frame, High Index Lenses will combine great cosmetic looks with maximum visual acuity correction.


GLASS
Feature - The original ophthalmic lens material.

Benefit - Glass is still available for a wide range of prescriptions. However, the weight of glass lenses makes this a less comfortable lens material.
