Options of Lens Materials for Eyeglasses Normal Index Lenses Standard Plastic CR-39 Lenses These are conventional plastic material lenses with a refractive index of 1.498 that have been widely used since their introduction in 1947. One of the biggest advantages of this lens is its affordability. I...
But polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that starts as a solid material in the form of small pellets. In a lens manufacturing process called injection molding, the pellets are heated until they melt. The liquid polycarbonate is then rapidly injected into lens molds, compressed under high pressure and...

Composition for optical materials, optical materials and eyeglass lensAn optical material having high refractive index and toughness is obtained by curing a composition which contains (A) an episulfide compound, (B) an inorganic compound having a sulfur atom and/or a selenium atom, (C) an SH ...
Lens materials with a high Abbe value tend to cause less chromatic aberration than those with low Abbe values. Trivex lenses have an Abbe value of 45 (better than average among eyeglass lens materials); polycarbonate lenses have an Abbe value of 30 (lowest among all lens materials). ...
