What are Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses?
Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are thin and lightweight. They are thinner than traditional plastic, but not as thin as Hi-Index. Polycarbonate and/or Trivex are the types of plastic used in safety glasses because they are impact resistant and shatter proof. For this reason, we recommend these lenses for children, monocular (only one good eye) patients, and for people either seeking safety glasses or those who engage in dangerous activities, either recreational or work-related.
