What is the Lens Index on Glasses?
The lens index measures how efficiently a lens material bends light. Higher indexes mean thinner and lighter lenses for the same prescription strength. This makes higher index lenses an excellent choice for those who require stronger prescriptions but want to maintain a chic, streamlined look.

1.57 Index Lens – The Balanced Choice
1.57 index lenses strike a perfect balance between affordability and performance. These lenses are ideal for moderate prescriptions, providing clear vision without the bulk.
Features of 1.57 index lens:
○ Moderate thickness
○ Lightweight
○ Affordable option
○ Ideal Users
○ Individuals with mild to moderate prescriptions, prescription is between +/-4.00 diopters
○ Those looking for cost-effective solutions without compromising on style

1.61 Index Lens – A Step Beyond

1.67 Index Lens – The Middle Ground for High Prescriptions
For those with high prescriptions, the 1.67 index lens is a game-changer. It offers significant thinness while maintaining excellent clarity and strength.
Features of 1.67 index lens:

1.74 Index Lens – The Ultimate in Thinness
When it comes to achieving the ultimate in thinness, the 1.74 index lens takes the crown. These lenses are perfect for those who demand the best in both function and fashion.
Features of 1.74 index lens:

Choosing the right lens index can make a world of difference in both your visual comfort and personal style. From the balanced 1.57 to the super-thin 1.74, each lens type offers unique benefits tailored to different needs.

Please note that the recommended refractive index is related to the prescription and astigmatism. It is advisable to follow the advice of an optometrist. Optometrists also take into account your profession when recommending the refractive index, as high-index lenses may cause chromatic aberration (color distortion). Therefore, professions related to nail art, art, and visual fields may recommend using low-index lenses.
