Lenses for kids

Advances in lens technology provide special benefits for children. Kids are active, they're hard on their lenses, and they're very self-conscious about their looks. Kids who wear thick glasses are an easy target for the taunts of other kids. When it comes to glass and conventional plastic lenses kids with strong prescriptions have the unsightly "coke bottle" or the "bug eye" look. HYPERINDEX® 1.66 lenses by Optima can change all that. Gone are the unsightly edges and optical distortions. The advanced aspheric lens design allows crisp, clear vision from edge to edge. This new material, with a 1.0 mm center thickness, is the thinnest lens available for the best cosmetic appearance. Also lens weight is reduced by 50% over conventional (ordinary) plastic and 80% over glass lenses. The result? Lighter lenses that won't slide down your child's nose or cause pressure points. HYPERINDEX® 1.66 lenses are amazingly light so your child has a degree of comfort never before possible.

For older children, such as teenagers, when their appearance is so important to them, the crystal clear optics of these lenses minimize the effect of glasses and the thinner edges will make your child look better and feel better about themselves
