HI-INDEX PLASTICS
• It is a very impact resistant lens material.
• Trivex is a triperformance lens material.
• It offers a triple ccombination of :-
(i) Superior optics
(ii) Impact resistance
(iii) Ultra light weight

NXT material
• Lenses that are made of two or more layers of materials are known as laminated lenses.
• Lamination is done in polarizing lenses to cut out reflected glare.
• Lamination can also be done to increase impact resistance
