PPG TRIVEX® lens material for impact-resistant eyeglass lenses
Your patients ask a lot of their eyes – ask the same of their lens material.
Life is visually demanding. In a single day, your patients subject their eyes to thousands of different situations. And whether it’s reading an email, driving on the highway or playing a round of golf, they rely on their eyes to give them the clear picture. Having eyewear that delivers continuous performance is essential to getting the most out of life—and it all begins with the lens material recommendation you make.

Not all eyeglass lenses are equal
Your patients’ lenses—just like your own—need to perform in any situation. Unfortunately, most lens materials require a trade-off. If your patient wants the advantages of thinner, high index lenses, they’ll need to accept heavier and less durable lenses. To provide the high optical quality of standard plastic lenses (PPG CR-39® monomer), the trade-off is less strength and reduced durability. To benefit from the impact resistance of polycarbonate lenses, your patient will have to sacrifice visual quality. And then there’s PPG TRIVEX® lens material…
Trivex material provides the perfect combination of optical quality, lightweight comfort, strength and protection—the critical performance characteristics called for in everyday living.
Endless options, ultimate performance
As the foundation of all eyewear, the lens material determines how well a lens will perform in real life situations. That means the lenses you fit on your patients have to provide just what their eyes need at any given moment. Trivex material is a unique, scientifically-advanced category of lens material developed to provide the best balance of all performance properties – clear, light, thin and strong.
