Choosing Eyewear Lenses

The Just for Eyes Optical Boutique at the Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center located in Sun City West, Sun City, and Wickenburg uses the latest technology and materials to create thin, light-weight prescription eyeglass lenses that minimize glare and maximize scratch-resistance.

Trivex® Lens Material

Trivex material provides the complete package of optical quality, lightweight comfort, strength and protection—the critical performance characteristics called for in everyday living. Trivex material is True to Life.

As the foundation of all eyewear, the lens material determines how well a lens will perform in real life situations. Being “True to Life” means that the lenses that are fitted to you provide just what your eyes need at any given moment. Trivex material is a unique, scientifically-advanced category of lens material developed to provide the best balance of performance properties:

Crisp, Clear Vision. For reading, computer work, driving, and any time vision acuity is important, Trivex material provides the optical quality that optimizes corrective prescriptions and helps to reduce eye strain.

Lightweight Comfort. Lenses made with Trivex material are ultra-light for ultimate comfort; Trivex material is one of the lightest lens materials on the planet.

Strength and Protection. For the demands of everyday living, eyeglass lenses need to provide protection from unexpected impact, breakage and from the sun’s harmful UV radiation. Unexpected physical contact can happen at any moment. Trivex material provides high impact resistance when it is needed most—like while playing sports or working in a hazardous environment..* The durability and robustness of Trivex material—plus its stress-free characteristics—make it an excellent choice for rimless (or drill-mount) frames and any lightweight fashion frames that rely on lenses for structural rigidity. And to protect your eyes from the sun, Trivex material blocks 100% of harmful UV rays.

Who should wear lenses made with Trivex material? Lenses made with Trivex material are a great choice for anyone who leads an active life and expects clear, crisp vision correction, lightweight comfort and protection from their eyewear.
