Is CR-39 high index lenses?

The Abbe Value is a number given to describe the amount of chromatic aberration of a lens material. Standard CR39 lenses have the most clarity, with high index leading after that, and then polycarbonate with the lowest abbe value.

Is CR39 better than polycarbonate?

In comparison to polycarbonate, CR-39 provides vastly superior optics, rating just one rung below the material with the highest ABBE value: crown glass. On the flip side, CR-39 is the thickest and heaviest lens material.

WHAT IS lens material CR-39?

An alternative material to polycarbonate is CR39 (Columbia Resin 39), a plastic polymer commonly used in the manufacture of eyeglass lenses. Unlike polycarbonate, CR39 requires a UV coating to be added to protect eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.

At what prescription should you get high index lenses?

A high-index lens may be recommended if your optical prescription is above 2.00 diopters. High-index lenses have a refractive index above 1.50— ranging from 1.53 to 1.74.

Does CR-39 scratch easily?

Standard Plastic CR-39 Lenses It also provides good optical clarity and is easy to tint.
