High Index (Thin) Lenses

highindex1 It is important to consider the frames and lenses that will combine to make a stylish pair of spectacles. If you chose not to wear contact lenses and have to wear glasses, high index lenses in your glasses may be the option for you. High index lenses are thinner and flatter than conventional lenses – which means they look better and feel better for you!

The cosmetic benefits of High Index Lenses do not compromise the visual benefits you would expect from a high quality lens. High quality High Index lenses are coated with anti-reflective coating as standard which reduces glare and dazzle while protecting your lenses from scratching and gives you UV protection.

Choosing High Index Lenses

Some High Index Lenses are available in single vision and progressive lenses with a range of tints, including photochromatic variable tints which are clear indoors but darkens in sunlight to give maximum comfort for your eyes. An optician will be able to guide you on the advantages of the different treatments. There may be possible long-term benefits one might gain from them in terms of reduced vision loss.

There are literally hundreds of lens types which all make compromises on weight, strength, shatter proof, thickness, flatness, optical quality, ability to transmit light and ultimately - price.

Our optometrists and qualified dispensing opticians can help you navigate this complexity and find the best lens for you based on your sight examination, your lifestyle and your pocket. What is important to remember is that not all lenses are the same and invariably you get what you pay for. Make an appointment with us or call in to our branches and we will be happy to serve you.
