What are Tribrid lenses?
Tribrid is a premium performance lens material that combines excellent optical quality (ABBE 41), lightweight (1.23 g/cm specific gravity), thinness (1.60 index of refraction) and strength (up to 5X more impact resistant than other high index lens materials). Tribrid also blocks 100% of harmful ultra-violet radiation.
Are impact resistant lenses worth it?
Thinner and lighter than plastic, polycarbonate (impact-resistant) lenses are shatter-proof and provide 100% UV protection, making them the optimal choice for kids and active adults. They’re also ideal for strong prescriptions since they do not add thickness when correcting vision, minimizing any distortion.
What are the most durable eyeglass lenses?
Polycarbonate. Polycarbonate was the first “thinner, lighter” lens material. Polycarbonate is 10 times more impact resistant than glass and CR-39. Polycarbonate lenses are the preferred choice for safety eyeglasses and children’s eyeglasses.
What is the refractive index of Tribrid?
1.60
Tribrid material has a refractive index of 1.60, falling within the high-index category.
What is better than polycarbonate lenses?
Trivex lenses have a higher Abbe value so they can produce both sharper central and peripheral vision with less chromatic aberration than polycarbonate lenses. Basically, your vision will be clearer and contain fewer distortions with Trivex lenses.

Are expensive eyeglass lenses worth it?
For most people, hugely expensive eyeglasses are not worth the money; eyeglasses do not have to be $1000 for them to be durable enough to last a few years. The most cost-effective way to buy your eyewear is to buy moderately priced frames and replace the lenses every year using Rx-able’s lens replacement services.
What is the clearest eyeglass lens?
Trivex lens materials have a Abbe Value of 45, which is higher than polycarbonate and all high index plastic lens material. It provides an almost ideal blend of qualities for optimal vision results and is lighter in weight than polycarbonate lenses of equal size.
