Category: Materials

The 1.50 base material has long been ecognized as the international standard for low prescription lenses and classic frame styles. Its high quality and affordable price have made it one of the best-selling lens materials globally.
• The clearest material
• Affordable price
• Suitable for low prescriptions
• Suitable for full-rim frames

Key Features Materials 1.53(Trivex):

Ultra-Impact Resistance: The safest ophthalmic lens material, originally developed for aerospace and military applications.

Ultra-Lightweight: With a density lower than polycarbonate, Trivex lenses provide exceptional comfort for all-day wear.

Superior Optical Clarity: Abbe value 43 ensures crisp, clear vision with reduced chromatic aberration compared to polycarbonate.

High UV Protection: %100 protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nm.

Chemical Resistance: Outstanding durability against common solvents and daily wear.

Tinting & Coatings: Fully compatible with Schneider’s advanced coatings, photochromic, and polarized options.

Technical Specifications:

  • Refractive Index: 1.53
  • Abbe Value: 43
  • Specific Gravity: 1.11 g/cm³
  • UV Cutoff: 100% up to 400 nm
  • Impact Resistance: Exceeds FDA drop ball test, ANSI Z87.1 standards
  • Drilling & Mounting: SExcellent for rimless and wrap-around frames due to high tensile strength and elasticity

Recommended Applications:

  • Safety eyewear and sports lenses (thanks to high impact resistance).
  • Rimless and semi-rimless frames.
  • Sunglasses and photochromic lenses requiring both protection and comfort.
  • Everyday wearers seeking the balance of lightness, clarity, and strength.
