New Plastics

CR-39

Not all plastic lenses are the same. The gold standard for spectacle lenses is a plastic called "CR-39." CR-39 still has the best optical quality, but it can be heavy and thick in the high prescriptions.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is the lightest, safest plastic available. Polycarbonate lenses are light-weight and shatter-proof. This lens is the best option for kids and high-risk occupations due to its safety. Polycarbonate can be made thinner than CR-39.

Hi-index

Hi-index plastic is typically lighter than CR-39 and thinner than polycarbonate. Hi-index comes in different forms, but as a rule, hi-index is slightly heavier than polycarbonate. Hi-index is optically better than polycarbonate, but is not as clear as CR-39.

Multi-Focals

Most people are familiar with bifocals or even trifocals, but not everyone is aware of progressives. This lens is often referred to as a "no-line bifocal" or "blended bifocal". Progressives are actually multiple lenses within a single lens structure.
