Service overview

Material versatility for thinner, better-fitting lenses.

The best way to make a lens thinner often starts with the frame: a well-sized frame that keeps the lens shape close to the patient’s needs can matter as much as index selection. Higher-index materials can have blank-size limitations, and not every design is available in every material.

Start with the best-fitting frame shape and size for the prescription before selecting a higher-index material.
Confirm blank-size availability for higher-index products, especially when the frame requires a larger lens shape.
Check the availability charts in Professional Resources because design and material compatibility can vary.
