Frequently Asked Questions

When comparing lens materials, Trivex and polycarbonate are known for their strength and impact resistance, but they differ in certain aspects.

Polycarbonate lenses have been popular for many years due to their durability and impact resistance. They are highly resistant to shattering and are commonly used in safety glasses and sports eyewear. Polycarbonate lenses are approximately ten times more impact-resistant than regular plastic lenses. They are a good option for individuals involved in high-impact activities or requiring added protection.

On the other hand, Trivex lenses are a newer material that offers similar impact resistance to polycarbonate lenses but with additional benefits. Trivex lenses have a higher Abbe value, providing better optical clarity and less chromatic aberration than polycarbonate lenses. Chromatic aberration refers to the distortion of colors at the edges of the lenses, which can affect visual acuity. Trivex lenses also have a slightly lower specific gravity than polycarbonate lenses, making them slightly lighter.

When it comes to the strength of the material itself, both Trivex and polycarbonate are strong and impact-resistant. However, the choice between the two may depend on prescription strength, lens thickness, desired optical quality, and personal preference.

In summary, while Trivex and polycarbonate lenses offer excellent strength and impact resistance, Trivex lenses provide better optical clarity and less chromatic aberration. On the other hand, polycarbonate lenses have been a longstanding choice for impact protection and are suitable for high-impact activities.

When choosing prescription glasses for sports, Here are some recommendations for the type of glasses you should consider:

  1. ANSI F803 Compliance: Ensure that the sports glasses you choose meet the ANSI F803 standard. ANSI F803 is a safety standard specifically designed for sports eyewear. It sets guidelines for impact resistance, coverage, and other performance criteria to ensure the glasses provide reliable protection during sports activities. Glasses that meet this standard are tested and certified to withstand the impact of high-speed projectiles and offer adequate eye coverage. Look for frames and lenses marked as ANSI F803 compliant to ensure you have the highest safety and protection while participating in sports.
  2. Wraparound Frames: Look for glasses with wraparound frames that provide a close and secure fit to your face. These frames offer better coverage and protection from wind, debris, and peripheral light. They also help to prevent the glasses from slipping during active movements.
  3. Impact-Resistant Lenses: Opt for lenses made from impact-resistant materials such as polycarbonate or Trivex. These materials are highly durable and can withstand accidental impacts without shattering. They offer reliable eye protection during sports activities.
  4. Anti-Reflective Coating: Consider adding an anti-reflective (AR) coating to your lenses. AR coating reduces glare from artificial lighting and sunlight, improving visibility and reducing eye strain. It can be particularly beneficial for outdoor sports.
  5. Polarized Lenses (Optional): Consider polarized lenses Depending on the sport’s nature and your preferences. Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, or pavement, enhancing visual clarity and reducing eye fatigue.
  6. Secure Fit and Adjustable Features: Look for glasses with adjustable nose pads and temple arms. These features allow you to customize the fit, ensuring that the glasses stay securely in place during physical activities.
