High Index Glass Lenses 1.9

High index glass lenses 1.9 are the thinnest lenses available on the market today. If you have a strong prescription and want the thinnest lenses you can get, these are the lenses for you.

1.90 high-index glass lenses aren’t for everyone. They only come in single-vision prescriptions (no progressives or bifocals), can only be inserted into smaller lens frames, and are easy to break because the glass is relatively brittle. They are more scratch-resistant than plastic lenses, though. And, if thinness is the most important factor for you, then you’ll likely be happy with high-index glass lenses 1.9

If you’re considering getting high index glass lenses 1.9, here’s what you should know:

• High-index glass 1.9 lenses are the thinnest lenses on the market today.
• People with very strong prescriptions should consider getting this material. If you have a mild or somewhat strong prescription, you’ll likely be better off with high-index plastic.
• High index 1.90 glass is fragile and prone to cracking if dropped.
• This material is also very reflective, so an anti-reflective coating is a must. Even with A/R, you’ll still have some glare, and this material causes some aberrations or blurring of colors in your peripheral vision.
• High index glass lenses are only for people with strong prescriptions who want the thinnest possible lenses they can get.

If you’re a glasses wearer who has a strong prescription, high index glass lenses 1.9 are a good choice for you.

1.90 high index glass will also eliminate the “tiny eyes” or “bug eyes” distortion that strong prescription wearers get. As I said above, these lenses aren’t for everyone, but if thinness is your priority, then you should consider this material.
