Frequently Asked Questions
What are hi-index lenses?
Hi-index lenses are made from a special material that bends light more efficiently than standard plastic. This means your lenses can be much thinner and lighter while still correcting your vision. Visit View Optical Eye Care Center at 4079 Mowry Ave, Fremont, CA 94538 or call (510) 793-8997 to see the difference.
Should I get 1.67 or 1.74 hi-index lenses?
The choice depends on your prescription strength. For moderate prescriptions (-4.00 to -6.00), 1.67 hi-index is usually sufficient and more cost-effective. For stronger prescriptions (-6.00 and beyond), 1.74 provides the thinnest possible lenses. Our opticians at View Optical can help you decide.
Are hi-index lenses worth the extra cost?
If you have a moderate to strong prescription, hi-index lenses are definitely worth considering. They're lighter, thinner, and look much better than thick standard lenses. Many of our customers are amazed at how much better their glasses look and feel with hi-index lenses.
Can I get hi-index lenses the same day?
Yes! View Optical offers same-day service for most hi-index prescriptions within our standard range (+4.00 to -8.00). We craft your lenses in our advanced optical lab in Fremont. Call (510) 793-8997 to check availability.
Do hi-index lenses need special coatings?
We recommend anti-reflective coating for hi-index lenses because the material reflects more light than standard plastic. This coating eliminates glare and makes your lenses virtually invisible. Visit View Optical at 4079 Mowry Ave, Fremont to learn more about coating options.
