Be Wise About Your Eyes
Weight: Trivex has a lower specific gravity than polycarbonate, making Trivex lenses about 10% lighter than polycarbonate lenses. Depending upon the frames you choose, this could make a big difference in the fit with less sliding, etc.
Optical Clarity (Central): Trivex lenses have less internal stress and may produce sharper central vision than polycarbonate lenses. Central vision is the process in which millions of cells change light into nerve signals that tell the brain what the person is seeing. As a person reads, drives and performs other activities that require fine, sharp, straight-ahead vision, light is focused onto the macula in the center of the retina, the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye.
Optical Clarity (Peripheral): Trivex lenses have a higher (43) abbe value and may produce sharper peripheral vision with less chromatic aberration than polycarbonate lenses. Abbe value is the ability of a material to break down white light into component colors (red, green, blue, indigo, violet). Chromatic aberration causes colored fringes in the images produced by a lower abbe value. In other words, the more correction needed in your prescription, the more important it is to use a higher abbe value product such as Trivex instead of polycarbonate. The benefit of Trivex is that it gives people the finest clear vision next to glass without the weight and limitations of a glass product.
Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses have comparable impact resistance.
UV protection: Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses both block 100% of the sun’s UV rays without the need for special UV-blocking lens coatings. Know that if you choose these premium products, no additional fees should apply. In other words, don’t waste money on coatings sold by other labs claiming better UV-protection on Polycarbonate or Trivex lenses.
