The difference between all eyeglass lenses
We expect a pair of eyeglasses to provide us with optimum comfort and the sharpest vision.
This is why it is obvious to look for the best quality lenses for your glasses.
Here is the difference between the different lenses and whether some are better than others.
Are all spectacle lenses the same?
At first glance, one might think that all eyeglass lenses are the same.
However, each lens on a spectacle frame has its own properties and characteristics.
First of all, the lens may be made of a different material, such as mineral or, more often, organic.
The choice of material will determine, among other things, its lightness or its ability to resist impact.
Secondly, each lens can be provided with different surface treatments as an option.
For example, a scratch-resistant coating or an anti-uv filter can be applied to the lens.
A number of different treatments can be added to the lens to give it optimum effectiveness in all circumstances.
Finally, each spectacle lens has a different visual correction depending on the ametropia to be corrected.
Thus, depending on the degree of visual impairment of the person and their specific needs, the lens will differ.
Are all eyeglass lenses equally good?
Nowadays, every pair of eyeglasses is designed to be durable and of good quality.
This design rule obviously applies to both the frame and the lenses that are mounted on it.
However, some glasses are made of higher quality materials than others.
For example, some lenses will be made of an organic material known in particular for its great lightness.
In addition, some lenses will have more surface treatments than others.
These can be de facto more impact resistant or even better protective against dust or dirt depending on the layers applied.
Others will allow better filtering of uv rays or blue light from screens.
And finally, some lenses are designed to withstand significant visual correction while being thin or looking so.
In fact, some lenses will be able to discreetly correct a severe visual deficiency.
To ensure you choose the best lenses for your glasses, don't hesitate to ask your Optical Center optician for advice.
