1.53 Glass Lenses are traditional-made crown glass lenses with a refractive index of 1.53, known for their superior optical clarity and scratch resistance, making them a good choice for normal prescriptions and full-frame glasses. However, they are heavier and less impact-resistant than newer plastic alternatives like Trivex, which also has a 1.53 index but offers better durability and is lighter weight.
Key features of 1.53 index glass lenses:
- High optical clarity: Glass material provides exceptional vision quality for those with normal prescriptions.
- Scratch resistance: They are naturally more resistant to scratches from grit and other materials than plastic lenses.
- Best for full frames: Due to their physical properties, they cannot be used in semi-rimless or drill-mount frames.
- Weight: They are heavier than most other lens materials, which can cause discomfort over long periods.
- Impact resistance: They are not impact-resistant, making them unsuitable for certain safety glasses or children's eyewear
- If you have a normal strength prescription you should consider glass lenses. They provide the best performance out of all of the lenses. If you worry about scratched lenses and are looking for the highest quality optical clarity, 1.53 index glass lenses are for you.
