Which of the following are advantages of a Trivex lens?

• A. Thin and light weight
• B. All of the above
• C. Most impact resistant lens
• D. Better optics than polycarbonate

Answer: (B)

Trivex lens material is valued for a combination of light weight, strong impact resistance, and excellent optical quality. Its lighter weight comes from its low density, so lenses can be thinner and more comfortable, especially for higher prescriptions. It also provides solid impact resistance, making it a safe choice for everyday wear and activities, comparable to other safety-focused materials. On the optics side, Trivex has a higher Abbe value than polycarbonate, which means less chromatic aberration and crisper, more true-to-life vision with fewer color fringes around edges. Taken together, these advantages cover being thin and light, offering strong impact resistance, and delivering better optics than polycarbonate—so all of the listed benefits apply.
