Lenses
New
technology continues to improve the materials and designs that go into lenses.
Rx Optical has kept pace with
this high-tech evolution. We offer a full selection of lens materials, including
polycarbonate and high index, along with a wide variety of lens types, such as
multifocals, intermediates, progressives and Transitions.
All
prescription lenses are impact-resistant in compliance with Food and Drug
Administration regulations. However, these lenses are NOT shatterproof or
unbreakable. They can break into sharp pieces that can cause serious injury to
the eye or blindness. Even if the lenses do not break, the force of impact may
cause the lenses or spectacle frame to contact the eye or surrounding area,
causing injury.
Of
all lens materials available, polycarbonate is the most impact-resistant. For
all active patients (particularly children) and those requiring additional
protection for sports, occupational, or even everyday use, polycarbonate lenses
are recommended.
The
continued impact resistance of your lenses depends on how well you protect them
from physical shock and abuse. For your own protection, scratched or pitted
lenses should be replaced immediately. Scratches and pits weaken lenses, making
them more susceptible to breakage under stress.
Rx
Optical cares about your eyes. Please
let us take care of all your vision needs and provide proper protection for you
and your family.
