Who We Support
Trivex Lenses Options for Different Customer Needs
Select the appropriate trivex lenses design, material, treatment and finishing from the prescription, frame, intended use and destination-market requirements.
A lightweight impact-resistant Trivex option for supported distance-and-near prescriptions. Segment style, ADD, fitting height and frame data are confirmed during RX review.
High-clarity lightweight material for supported distance, near and general single vision orders, including many active-use and rimless applications.
A Freeform progressive Trivex lens calculated from the prescription, ADD, monocular fitting data, frame trace and selected corridor design.
A supported digital-relief design with mild near assistance for suitable reading and screen tasks. Design and ADD are selected from the full wearer data.
An occupational Freeform option for supported near and intermediate working distances. Room depth, desk distance and fitting data guide design selection.
A lifestyle-support Freeform option for selected near and intermediate tasks, combining low material weight with Trivex optical clarity.
Low Weight with High Impact Resistance
Trivex combines high impact resistance with a material density of approximately 1.11 g/cm³. It is often selected for active lifestyles, sports, rimless mounting and safety-oriented applications.
The complete finished lens and frame must still match the applicable market and impact standard. Provide the required specification before production.
High Abbe Value and Natural Color Clarity
Trivex typically has an Abbe value around 43–45, higher than polycarbonate. This supports lower chromatic dispersion and natural color rendition in the finished optical system.
Accurate centration, suitable Freeform design and an appropriate hard and anti-reflective coating remain important for comfort and durability.
Real Factory Production and RX Inspection
Custom Trivex lenses are surfaced, coated and inspected with laboratory production and measurement equipment. The finished lens is checked against the submitted prescription and supported design data before release.
External marks shown on uncut lenses are removable fitting and inspection references, not permanent lens engravings.

- Material Facts
- Trivex vs Polycarbonate
- Ordering Workflow
| Material property | Typical Trivex characteristic | Ordering relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Refractive index | Approximately 1.53 | Review prescription, diameter and frame geometry for the finished profile |
| Abbe value | Approximately 43–45 | Supports low chromatic dispersion and natural color rendition |
| Density | Approximately 1.11 g/cm³ | One of the lightest commonly used ophthalmic lens materials |
| Impact performance | High impact resistance | Often selected for active use, rimless mounting and safety-oriented applications |
| UV performance | Inherent UV protection in the material system | Confirm the finished specification required for the destination market |
Choose Trivex when optical clarity and low weight are priorities
Trivex combines a low material density with a higher Abbe value than polycarbonate. It is often selected for comfortable everyday wear, rimless frames, driving, sports and office applications where impact resistance and optical quality are both important.
Choose polycarbonate when a higher refractive index or price target is more important
Polycarbonate has an approximately 1.586 refractive index and may provide a thinner result in some prescriptions. It typically has a lower Abbe value than Trivex. The best choice depends on prescription, frame, budget, optical priorities and the required impact standard.
Review the complete lens system
Material alone does not determine finished performance. Prescription, centration, design, frame geometry, coating, finishing and the applicable market standard must be reviewed together.
- Submit the complete RX: right and left SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD and prism/base when prescribed.
- Select the optical design: bifocal, single vision, progressive, anti-fatigue, office, EasyLife or another supported design.
- Provide fitting data: monocular PD, fitting height and position-of-wear data required by the design.
- Provide frame data: A, B, DBL, effective diameter, mounting type and preferably a frame trace.
- Specify the lens system: clear, Bluecut or compatible photochromic option; coating; finishing; quantity; packaging and destination market.
Trivex is a lightweight ophthalmic lens material with an approximate refractive index of 1.53, low density, high impact resistance and an Abbe value commonly around 43–45.
The main benefits are low material weight, high impact resistance, good optical clarity and inherent UV protection. Final performance also depends on prescription, centration, design, frame and coating.
Trivex is generally lighter by material density and has a higher Abbe value, while polycarbonate has a higher refractive index and may be thinner in some prescriptions. The best choice depends on prescription, frame, optical priorities, budget and impact requirements.
Yes, within supported production ranges. Send the complete RX, diameter, monocular fitting data, frame type and preferably a frame trace. Rimless, semi-rimless and full-rim compatibility is confirmed during technical review.
Trivex is often considered for these applications because low weight, impact resistance and optical clarity are useful. The selected optical design, coating, frame and fitting data must match the wearer’s task and prescription.
Supported combinations can include hard coating, anti-reflective treatment, Bluecut and compatible photochromic systems. Availability, color and residual reflection depend on the selected design and coating stack.
