Organic Lens Materials

Key features

Organic lenses are made from highly transparent polymers. Compared with mineral lenses, they are lighter and more impact-resistant, making them particularly suitable for children, sports enthusiasts and everyday use.

Benefits of Organic Lens Materials

• Lightness — Ideal for modern frames and prolonged use.
• Impact resistance — Greater safety compared with mineral-based materials.
• Versatility — Compatible with most treatments and shapes.
• UV protection — High protection against ultraviolet rays.

Types of Organic Lens Materials

• CR-39 — A traditional organic material that is lightweight and offers excellent optical quality.
• High-refractive-index materials — Thinner and lighter for higher power ratings.
• Polycarbonate — Maximum impact resistance, ideal for children and sport.
• Trivex — An excellent combination of lightness, strength and optical quality.

When are they recommended?

• Everyday use — Comfort and lightness all day long.
• Children — Safety and impact resistance.
• Sport — Sturdy yet lightweight materials.
• Large frames — Reduction in overall weight.

Relationship with other technical parameters

Organic Lens Materials can be combined with treatments and technologies that improve the visual quality and durability of the lens.

• Refractive index — Determines the thickness and lightness of the lens.
• Anti-reflective coating — Improves transparency and reduces glare.
• Blue light filter — Digital comfort for prolonged screen use.
• Photochromic lenses — Dynamic protection from sunlight.
