strong prescription, you can knock "circles" off
your eyeglasses by choosing thinner lenses. |
| |
1) 1.61, 1.67
and 1.74 index lenses all come
with AR coating, UV, and scratch coatings.
|

1.74 index
super ultra thin lens is the thinnest lens but it comes at a
cost. |
| |
1)
option cost $119 |
| |
2) Comes
with AR coating, UV, and scratch coatings.
|
| |
3)
Not recommended under 6.00 (technically possible but wasting
money). Good for power over 8.00. |
| |
4)
If you need manual arrangement ordering 1.74 index lens, feel

Regular
tinting is solid tint throughout the lens. Tint dark (cuts 70%
light) for outdoor sunglasses and 10% for a cool fashionable
look. |
| |
1)
Anti-UV and anti-scratch coatings are included, but not
anti-reflection
coating.
|
| |
2)
Advantage: your eyes hide behind the sky's reflection and you
look cool.
|
| |
3) Disadvantage:
you see your own eye's reflection in the lens when light
enters from the top. You can fix this by wearing a cap though.
|
| |
4) Tint
color reference here
|
| |
5)
Tinting doesn't change color according to light condition. Tinting is
NOT the same as photochromic.
|
| |
6) Tinting is not
available for 1.67 index or above lenses.
|
| |
7) Option
cost $12 for 1.57 high index lens, $28 for 1.61 super high
index lens.
|
|
|
|
Tinted,
and then 7 layers of anti-reflection coatings will be added to
your lens if you choose this option. |
| |
1)
Anti-reflection coating cuts 80+% of your own eyes' reflection
off the lens. You won't see yourself staring at you at close
distance.
|
| |
2)
However, if you want to look cool behind vivid reflections in
the lens, go for regular tint.
|
| |
3) Tinting
w/ AR coating option not available for 1.67 index or higher
lenses.
|
| |
4) Option
cost $20 for 1.57 high index lens. That includes cost of tinting.
|
|
|
|
Gradient
tinting gives you lens that is dark at the top and clear at
the bottom. Gonna make you look sophisticatedly cool. Option cost $15.
|
|
|
|

lenses is what you need if you spend 1/3 of your life in bed and
2/3 in front of a computer. It cuts electromagnetic waves and
prevents eye fatigue. |
| |
1)
Anti-radiation lens has all 3 coatings (anti-UV, reflection,
scratch).
|
| |
2) Option
cost $12
