Leave that stuff to us! But every once in a while a very sensitive patient may notice the difference when changing from a higher ABBE to a lower ABBE lens, complaining possibly, that they do not feel they see as well or there is blur in their peripheral vision. Trivex® lenses were originally developed for military applications and, due to its high ABBE value, this lens has superior optical qualities and it also rivals polycarbonate for its impact resistance and UV protection. Yes, you can be protected from UV in most premium products even though the lens is clear! In addition to these features, Trivex® has a chemical resistance making it a good lens choice for patients exposed to chemicals often such as hairstylists or engineers. A drawback to this material is because it is so new it has limited availability, but each quarter there are more lens designs released in this material as it is popular among lens specialists like our licensed opticians.
