Crisp, Clear Vision

This is where Trivex excels. For reading, computer work, driving, and any time vision acuity is important, Trivex lens material provides greater optical quality that optimizes corrective prescriptions and helps to reduce eye strain.

While some lens materials in the past have claimed high optical quality, there was any number of trade-offs: heavier weight, thicker lenses, poor strength or inferior protection. For Trivex to attain such a high level of visual acuity with none of the typical drawbacks is a remarkable scientific achievement.

Abbe Value: The higher the Abbe Value, the more accurately a lens aligns the spectrum of light waves that pass through it. Lens materials with lower Abbe Values are unable to focus these light waves accurately, resulting in vision defects that appear as distracting fringes of color around dark type and objects—what is known as “chromatic aberration.”

Percent Visible Transmittance: Another factor contributing to crisp, clear vision is how much light passes through a lens. Objects viewed with eyewear made with Trivex material appear brighter than lenses made with other lens materials. This is because Trivex allows a higher amount of visible light to travel through the lens than other materials.
