What are High Index Lenses?


A high-index lens is designed with a higher refractive index, allowing it to bend light more efficiently. The result is clear vision, especially for individuals with stronger prescriptions. But beyond the technical jargon, what does this mean for you?

Thinner, Lighter, and More Stylish!


Gone are the days of clunky "soda bottle" glasses. High-index lenses are thinner at the edges and lighter overall, providing a seamless, comfortable wearing experience. This innovative design ensures you no longer have to compromise style for vision. High-index lenses ensure aesthetic appeal and visual effectiveness, whether you prefer lightweight plastic or slightly denser glass options.

Anti-Reflective Treatment for Crystal-Clear Vision


We often recommend pairing high-index lenses with anti-reflective (AR) treatment to achieve optimum clarity. This addition further reduces glare and ensures your vision remains sharp and vivid. Experience a new level of visual precision with this winning combination.
