Trivex®-Material

Stable material resistant to breakage specially developed for sports and children’s spectacles

This exceptional material combines light weight with toughness and a high level of visual comfort.

Trivex® opens up a whole new dimension in the use of plastics for spectacle lenses. Trivex® was originally developed for the American military. It has been used in the optical industry since 2001. Trivex®, which is astonishingly light in weight, is also exceptionally stable and resistant to breakage.

Trivex® is available in various alternatives…

Contrast-enhancing – TRI Uni

The tinting used in a Trivex® spectacle lens filters out light in specific wavelengths. This results in optimal colour perception, an increase in contrast and visual comfort under different light conditions.

Protection from glare – TRI NuPolar

Glare is caused by reflections on shiny, reflective surfaces, such as roads, water or snow. Polarising Trivex® spectacle lenses improve visual perception by means of filtering out specific light waves.

Brightness control – TRI Varia

Photochromic Trivex® spectacle lenses adapt to light conditions in order to offer the wearer optimal vision and the best possible visual comfort at all times.

Safety

Optimal protection for active spectacle wearers

Trivex® withstands the impact test of the “American National Standards Institute” (ANSI). This test has set the standard for the impact resistance of spectacle lenses (high-velocity impact test). In it, a steel ball with a diameter of 7 mm is fired at a fixed lens at a speed of 165 km/h [102.5 mph]. If a spectacle lens can withstand this test, it receives the ANSI certificate.

Trivex® is also resistant to chemicals and protects against harmful UV radiation.
