Slim & Light Lens Coating

Comfort is essential when you’re wearing glasses daily. You don't want to have to be constantly adjusting them due to them slipping down your nose, and you want to see clearly and comfortably. This is where a high-index 'slim and light' lens coating can provide all of these benefits while also delivering precise vision.

In the past, those with farsightedness or astigmatism (blurry or distorted vision) would often have to deal with thick and bulky lenses. The stronger the prescription, the thicker and heavier the lens needed to be to function properly. Unfortunately, these thick lenses could be uncomfortable to wear and could limit the choice of frames that could accommodate the thickness of the lens at the outer edge. This meant less options to match your unique preferences, style and lifestyle.

With the latest advancements in technology, high-index lenses have revolutionised the eyeglass industry. They bend light more efficiently, requiring far less lens thickness than traditional lenses. This results in a much slimmer and lighter lens that is comfortable for daily use and looks more aesthetically pleasing. The reduction in lens thickness also means that more frame options are available, as the lenses will fit more comfortably within the frames. With high-index 'slim and light' lenses, you can have a comfortable and stylish eyewear experience while maintaining clear and precise vision.

Should You Opt For High Index Slim And Light Lenses?

If you wear glasses daily and prefer a thinner lens (or a thinner frame) which may reduce lens thickness by up to 40%, then slim and light lenses may be the perfect way to balance a powerful prescription. Like our other range of lenses, slim and light lenses can also have coatings applied such as a polarised coating to reduce your glare and optimise your daily vision while reducing eye strain.
