1.74 Super-Thin High Index Lenses

The world's thinnest plastic lens material for ultimate aesthetic transformation.

Product Introduction

The Pinnacle of Thinness: 1.74 Super-High Index Lenses

For the most severe prescriptions, our 1.74 Super-Thin lenses represent the absolute technological limit for plastic (resin) eyewear. This material is nearly 50% thinner than standard 1.50 lenses, providing an incredible transformation for wearers with high myopia (-6.00D to -15.00D or higher). Crafted from the highest grade MR-174™ monomer, these lenses are as thin as they are technologically advanced. The high refractive index allows light to be bent much more efficiently, meaning less material is required to achieve the same corrective power. To ensure the highest optical quality, every 1.74 lens we produce features a double-aspheric or advanced aspheric design to combat the natural aberrations found in high-index resins. Furthermore, because high-index materials naturally reflect more light, we equip these lenses with a sophisticated 16-layer vacuum-deposited anti-reflective (AR) coating. This ensures that the lenses remain virtually invisible in the frame, allowing the wearer's eyes to be seen clearly without distracting ghosting or glare. Lightweight, ultra-sleek, and optically refined, the 1.74 series is the ultimate choice for patients who want the best that modern optical science has to offer, turning even the strongest prescription into a masterpiece of aesthetic design.

Specification

Refractive Index 1.74 (Highest Resin)
Material Ultra-High Index Resin
Coating 16-Layer Premium SHMC

Technological Highlights: Premium Monomers and Coating Integrity

  • High-Purity Monomer Selection: We exclusively use high-performance monomers (e.g., MR-series) to achieve superior tensile strength and optical purity, resulting in excellent clarity and minimal risk of yellowing over time.
  • Precision Liquid Casting Process: The lenses are produced via a controlled liquid casting method that ensures uniform material density and refractive index consistency across the entire blank, which is critical for accurate therapeutic power zones.
  • Advanced Vacuum Multi-Coating (SHMC): Coatings are applied in a high-vacuum chamber, using multiple layers of metallic oxides to create a durable, anti-reflective stack. This process guarantees maximum light transmission and minimal glare.
  • Thermal Curing Optimization: A slow and precise thermal curing cycle is employed to maximize the material’s resistance to internal stress, ensuring the finished lens remains stable and optically perfect under varying temperature conditions.
  • Integrated Peripheral Defocus Geometry: The therapeutic design is engineered into the mold itself for cast lenses, or applied via digital surfacing for semi-finished blanks, guaranteeing the accuracy and consistency of the myopia control zone geometry.
