Schneider materials
Schneider offers advanced lens materials for every need. From ultra-thin 1.74 (MR-174) to impact-resistant Polycarbonate (1.59) and Trivex (1.53), our lenses deliver clarity, comfort, and durability. Ideal for strong prescriptions or active lifestyles, they ensure sharp vision and long-lasting performance.
- High-Index Thinness: Achieving the slimmest profile for high prescriptions.
- Superior Impact Resistance: Ensuring maximum safety (especially Polycarbonate and Trivex).
- Excellent Optical Clarity: Providing distortion-free, sharp vision.
- Lightweight Comfort: Reducing overall lens weight for all-day wearability.
Schneider coating
The Schneider Sigma Coating Series represents a premium layer of optical technology crucial for elevating your lens offering. These advanced treatments ensure maximum spectral performance, drastically reduce return rates due to surface defects, and provide tangible value propositions for end-users across diverse prescribing needs.
- Sigma Green: is Schneider’s full-featured, premium lens coating — the perfect balance of durability, clarity, and easy maintenance. Designed as the brand’s signature standard, Sigma Green integrates all of Schneider’s advanced coating technologies into one seamless solution.
- Sigma Blueguard: combines the full premium performance of Schneider’s Sigma coatings with a modern blue-reflection finish, engineered specifically for today’s digital lifestyles. Designed to selectively reflect part of the high-energy blue-violet light emitted by screens and LED sources, Sigma Blueguard helps protect the eyes while maintaining clear, comfortable vision throughout the day.
- Sigma Antiglare: is Schneider’s dedicated coating designed to significantly reduce unwanted reflections from artificial lighting, headlights, and screen glare. By minimizing visual disturbances and enhancing contrast, it ensures clearer, more comfortable vision in demanding environments — both indoors and outdoors.
- Sigma Zero: is Schneider’s ultra-transparent premium coating, designed to deliver all the advanced performance of Sigma Green — but without altering the lens color or appearance. With its nearly invisible, low-green reflex, Sigma Zero ensures that tinted and sun lenses retain their natural aesthetics, offering a sleeker and more stylish look.

Photochromic lenses
Transition® Gen 8 Technology in Schneider Lenses
Schneider photochromic lenses are manufactured using original Transition® Gen 8 technology, delivering advanced light-adaptive performance combined with Schneider’s precision optical design.
Transition® Gen 8 enables lenses to automatically adjust their tint in response to UV exposure remaining clear indoors and darkening efficiently outdoors. This ensures consistent visual comfort and protection across changing light conditions, without compromising optical clarity.
Key Performance Advantages
• Faster darkening in outdoor light
• Quicker return to clear indoors
• Uniform tint across the lens surface
• Stable visual clarity during transitions
Visual Comfort & Protection
• 100% UV protection at all times
• Reduced glare in bright environments
• Natural color perception and contrast
• Enhanced comfort for all-day wear
By integrating Transition® Gen 8 technology with Schneider’s advanced free-form manufacturing and premium coatings, these lenses offer a reliable solution for everyday vision correction and active lifestyles.
