When choosing lenses for your glasses, it’s good to know what lens material is most suitable for your lifestyle and, most importantly, your vision. There are 3 main types of premium lens materials you will come across when buying prescription eyeglasses with us, these are:
High-index plastics
The thinner and lighter lenses available. They are highly recommended if you have a strong eyeglasses prescription for nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
CR-39 plastic
These lenses are half the weight of glasses lenses and still provide excellent optics and vision correction; however, they are generally thicker than other standard plastic lens options.
