Still using 1.53 Trivex? Why?????
In 2001 Trivex was launched as a lighter alternative to Polycarbonate with better optics and great impact resistance.
But here's the thing, the iPod was launched in 2001 for ‘music on the go’ and we don't use them anymore. Windows XP was released as the latest and greatest Microsoft operating platform but is so rarely used today. The best-selling cell phone globally was the Nokia 3310 with over 126M sold but nobody has one any more.
Why? Because technology has moved on and, as consumers, we demand and expect better.
Ultra-Flex Lenses
The Ultra-Flex lens is a high-impact resistant lens manufactured with an enhanced material. It has got a low light dispersion, a stronger and more flexible structure to withstand impacts. Ultra-Flex has tensile strength properties comparable to Polycarbonate and Trivex but without some of the manufacturing disadvantages. It processes and handles like a traditional material.
Unique Monomer Structure
Impact Resistant
Pass COLTS TEST
Ultra-Flex has the ultimate anti-impact ability. It can stand a 90g steel ball strike from 1.27m without breaking, its resistance ability is 5.6 times more than standard, which can be compared to a polycarbonate lens.
High Impact Prescription Lens Material Qualification.
The Ultra-Flex lenses do comply with ANSI Z87.1-2015 for the tests in the following report.
High Abbe Value
Ultra-Flex lenses, with a high Abbe value, provide a clear vision and more comfortable wearing experience.
Multi Coating
With 8 coating layers on the lens, our Ultra-Flex lenses protect from harmful UV rays, and from computer and other electronic screens with our Blue Block coating option. Also available with our Q-change photochromic option, which makes the Ultra-Flex one of the most complete and safe lenses.
Recommended Groups
Ultra-Flex lenses have been developed to strongly withstand higher impacts than common lenses. They are suitable for outdoor activities, sports, kids, students, as well as half-frame and rimless spectacles. More generally, it is the perfect choice for people who need better protection.
Advantage of Ultra-Flex
• High tensile strength and impact resistance
• Great for safety eyewear, kids frames and rimless/drill mounts
• High ABBE value of 41
• 1.61 is thinner and lighter than both 1.53 and 1.59
• Process as a standard acrylic, kinder to manufacturing equipment and consumables
• You can clean it with acetone, it won’t shatter
Comfortable Wearing
With high impact resistance, a high Abbe value and a high transmission rate, the new Ultra-Flex lenses bring a high sight comfort. Its specific enhanced and stress-free structure reduces most of the standard lens issues like the rainbow effect on the edge and eyestrain for wearers.
