What Are Trivex Lenses?
What is Trivex? Trivex lenses were first produced in 2001. Trivex lenses come with several features such as light, impact-resistance, and high-performance strength. Recently, the use of Trivex as ophthalmic lens material has grown in popularity. Lenses made from Trivex material fulfill the same safety standards as those made from polycarbonate.
In addition, because of Trivex’s manufacturing process, plastic lenses sporting Trivex material do not distort vision as much. Trivex lenses offer 100 percent protection from UAV and UAB rays, sharper central vision, and sharper peripheral vision. Trivex was developed for military applications, so it is good for outdoor use. Other benefits include resistance to chemicals and better light refraction.
So, in the following section, we will show you the advantages and disadvantages of the Trivex lenses.
The Advantages of Trivex Lenses
In this section, we will show you the benefits of the Trivex glasses.
- Trivex lenses provide high impact resistance so they can minimize the risk of injury among those who have an active lifestyle.
- Trivex lenses are light because they have a lower density ratio than other plastics. Hence, it would not slip down from your nose
- Trivex lenses are thin so they enhance comfort because they have a slimmer profile.

- Trivex lenses are internally stress-free. This means that such lenses have a lower chance of breaking when under pressure, like from thick frames.
- Trivex lenses are able to resist to many chemicals including acetone. It performs better in chemical resistance than some of its other competitors.
The Disadvantages of Trivex Lenses
In this section, we will show you the disadvantages of Trivex lenses.
- Trivex lenses have less availability, especially compared with polycarbonate lenses.
- Trivex lenses cannot provide the same degree of thinness as high-index lenses.
- Trivex lenses are expensive than regular lens materials.
