Here at Smartbuyglasses, we offer a large variety of lens materials for our customers. We understand that it can be tricky deciding which lens materials to choose to best suit your vision needs, so we've put together a page on everything you should know about our lenses.
When choosing lenses for your glasses, it's good to know what lens material is most suitable for your lifestyle and most importantly, your vision. There are 3 main types of premium lens materials you will come accross when buying prescription eyeglasses with us, these are:
High-index plastics
The thinner and lighter lenses available. They are highly recommended if you have a strong eyeglasses prescription for nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
CR-39 plastic
These lenses are half the weight of glasses lenses and still provide excellent optics and vision correction; however they are generally thicker than other standard plastic lens options.
All our lenses are manufactured from high-grade materials and come 100% UV protecting as standard. Our range of Lens Index Lenses come as Standard Plastic Lenses, Thin and Light and Ultra Light.
