Hi-Index 1.74 Lenses
High-Tech Lenses for the Digital Age
What are Hi-Index 1.74 lenses?
Hi-Index 1.74 lenses are the thinnest, flattest, and most cosmetically
appealing lens ever developed and deserves the best of all technologies
including the most advanced anti-reflective (AR) lens treatment.
These lenses are nearly 50% thinner than 1.50 index plastic and 13%
thinner than 1.67 index, offering you the ultimate in technology and
cosmetics by reducing the "eye-shrinking" effect that many high
prescriptions have.
Hi-index 1.74 lenses are perfect for:
- People looking for extreme thinness and flatness
- Those desiring the latest technology
- Mid to high prescriptions to are looking for the best cosmetics
- Fashion conscious people who are up-to-date with the latest trends
- Contact lens wearers
What is the technology behind the 1.74 hi-index lens?
High index lenses have flatter curves than their lower-index
counterparts for a reduced lens profile. A flatter curve,
however, can cause off-axis blurred vision. To compensate, the
1.74 lens incorporates optical aspheric technology into the lens
design. Not all aspherics are created equal. We have chosen only
the industry's most advanced optical performance in a flat design
while preserving beautiful cosmetic appeal.
