Ultra-Thin Lenses

What Ultra-Thin Lenses Are

Ultra-thin lenses use premium 1.61 high-index material, the thinnest lens option available for single-vision prescriptions. This advanced material bends light more efficiently than any standard plastic, allowing lenses to be crafted up to 40% thinner than conventional CR-39. For people with higher prescriptions (-4.00 and above), standard lenses can become unattractively thick and heavy. Ultra-thin lenses transform a high prescription into a sleek, lightweight lens that looks and feels like a much lower power.

Key Benefits

• Up to 40% thinner than standard CR-39 lenses
• Significantly lighter — reduces nose bridge pressure
• Minimal edge thickness even at high prescriptions
• Looks great in any frame style, including rimless
• Built-in UV protection
• High-index material provides excellent optical clarity

Who Should Use Ultra-Thin Lenses

Ultra-thin lenses are strongly recommended for anyone with a prescription power of -4.00 or higher (or equivalent plus power). They are essential for rimless and semi-rimless frame wearers with moderate to high prescriptions. If heavy, thick glasses have been a concern for you, ultra-thin lenses will make a dramatic difference in both appearance and comfort.
