How are Trivex lenses different from polycarbonate?
While both are impact-resistant, Trivex provides significantly better optical clarity (higher Abbe value) which means less color fringing and crisper vision. Trivex is also slightly lighter than polycarbonate. If you're sensitive to optical distortions, Trivex is the better choice.
Are Trivex lenses worth the extra cost?
If optical clarity is important to you, absolutely! Trivex lenses provide noticeably crisper vision than polycarbonate, especially in peripheral areas. They're ideal for detail-oriented professions and anyone who wants the best possible vision. Our opticians at View Optical can help you decide.
Can I get Trivex lenses with progressive or bifocal prescriptions?
Yes! Trivex is available in single vision, progressive, and bifocal options. The superior optical quality of Trivex is especially beneficial for progressive lenses where clarity across all viewing zones matters. Call (510) 793-8997 to discuss your options.
Are Trivex lenses good for rimless frames?
Trivex is excellent for rimless and semi-rimless frames because of its superior drill-mount durability. The material resists cracking around drill holes better than polycarbonate. Visit View Optical at 4079 Mowry Ave, Fremont to see our rimless frame collection.
