HIGH-INDEX LENSES

A lighter way to see clearly.

Lens index describes how efficiently a material bends light. With the same prescription, a higher index can mean a slimmer lens profile—particularly when more correction is needed.

HOW TO THINK ABOUT INDEX

Higher index, less material.

For the same prescription, a higher-index material bends light more efficiently and can create a slimmer lens profile. The best option depends on the prescription, frame, and priorities you bring to the choice.

THE FRAME MATTERS, TOO

Keep the lens shape in view.

Lens thickness is shaped by more than index. A smaller, more centered lens shape can help keep a strong prescription looking more balanced. Your frame, prescription, and lens choice work together.
