What is Kuboraum?
Polycarbonate ethylene) is a type of plastic lens material. It is lightweight, impact-resistant, and has a high Abbe value, which means it has low levels of chromatic aberration (color distortion) and provides good visual clarity.
What is CR-39
Lightest weight material. Usually only used in components of the frame but entire frames can be composed of this material.
What is Aluminum?
Two/three powers in lens in distinct zones separated by visible lines. Not as popular as
What is Bifocal/Trifocal?
Like tinted lenses, polarized lenses are always dark (not clear). Polarized lenses cut glare, where tinted lenses do not. Reflected light off of other surfaces is virtually eliminated.
What is Polarized lenses?
Colorful/creative. perfect balance of form/function. asymmetrical.
Material made from a high refractive index, which means they can bend light more effectively. This allows for thinner and lighter lenses compared to traditional lenses.
What is High index?
Iron-carbon alloy. Strong, lightweight, durable, flexible, and corrosion resistant.
What is Stainless steel?
A digital multifocal lens design that contains a continuum of lens powers from distance to near, without any lines in the lenses.
What is Progressive?
The lenses are bathed in a dye that tints the lens a different color. It is permanent. The options of tint colors are virtually endless.
What is Tinted lenses?
Sculptural and architectural with beveled cuts on frame fronts creating lots of movement
What is Lapima?
Lens material known for their superior optical clarity, lightweight design, and impact resistance. They are made from a urethane-based pre-polymer and offer a good balance of comfort and durability.
What is Trivex?
Alloy of nickel and copper. Can discolor or corrode over time and it is not hypoallergenic. Popular metal for frames.
What is Monel?
For patients whose eyes struggle to switch focus to read (mostly presbyopes). Generally contains a distance and near Rx (ADD).
What is Multifocal?
Lenses that turn from clear inside to sunglasses in the sun. There are different types and colors of Transitions lenses.
What is Photochromic lenses?
Distinctive, quirky, unique, classic design features: sculpted/beveled temples, unique acetates/shapes.
What is Bruno Chaussignand?
Lens made from a tough, lightweight plastic. They are known for their high impact resistance.
A titanium alloy - titanium with small amounts of aluminum and vanadium. It is not quite as strong as titanium, but much lighter and more flexible. Often used in temples.
A digitally surfaced single vision lens (more accurate and more technical - utilizes software) that is typically used in computer glasses or glasses that are designed to help with eye strain from electronic devices.
What is Digital Aspheric?
For computers.
What is Blue light filter?
Inflated sculptural forms made out of mazzuchelli acetate.
What is Paloceras?
Lenses that automatically darken when exposed to UV light (like sunlight) and lighten when indoors.
What is Transitions?
Forged in the supernovas of dying stars. Hypoallergenic and biocompatible (non-toxic to living systems). Won’t rust, tarnish, or corrode. As strong as steel, but only 45% of the weight. Highest strength-to-density ratio of all metals.
What is Titanium?
Contains one Rx power throughout the entirety of the lens. Can be made with distance, computer, or near Rx.
What is Single Vision?
When does the big light get to be turned on?
When looking for something.
