1.74 Ultra-High Index Photochromic Lenses

Experience the world's thinnest adaptive lens, merging ultra-high index 1.74 precision with rapid photochromic response.

Product Introduction

Introduction: The Ultimate Synthesis of Slimness and Adaptability

For patients with extreme prescriptions, the quest for a thin lens often meant sacrificing functional features like light adaptation. Our 1.74 Ultra-High Index Photochromic Lenses break this barrier, offering the thinnest possible profile combined with rapid-reaction light-sensing technology. By utilizing the most advanced 1.74 refractive index monomers, we provide a lens that is significantly lighter and flatter than traditional options, while the integrated photochromic molecules ensure a seamless transition from clear indoors to deep tint in bright sunlight.

These lenses are engineered for the high-end market where aesthetics and comfort are non-negotiable. The 1.74 substrate is paired with our proprietary "Spin-Coat" technology, ensuring the darkening effect is uniform even on high-diopter curved surfaces. This is the premier choice for high-myopia patients who want a single pair of glasses that function as both clear prescription eyewear and protective sunglasses, all while maintaining an incredibly sleek and elegant frame profile.

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.

Application: High-End Consumer Scenarios

  • Extreme Myopia: Specifically for users with prescriptions above -6.00D needing thinness.
  • Outdoor Travelers: Ideal for high-prescription users who move between indoor and sunlit environments.
  • Luxury Eyewear: Fits perfectly in high-end, designer frames that require thin lens edges.
  • Light Sensitive Users: Provides immediate relief from sudden glare for sensitive eyes.
  • All-Day Wearers: Eliminates the need to carry separate prescription sunglasses.

Advantage: Unmatched Visual Aesthetics

  • World-Class Thinness: The 1.74 index provides the thinnest lens edge currently available in the resin market.
  • Rapid Darkening: High-sensitivity molecules react instantly to UV radiation for maximum comfort.
  • Flat Profile: Aspheric technology reduces the "magnified eye" look common in high-plus prescriptions.
  • Superior Clarity: High-grade monomers ensure a crystal-clear base without the common "cloudy" look.
  • Lightweight Design: Dramatically reduces nose pad pressure for high-prescription wearers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Q: How dark do these get?
  • A: They reach approximately 75-80% tint depth depending on UV intensity and temperature.
  • Q: Do they work inside a car?
  • A: Standard photochromic lenses react to UV; since windshields block UV, they will tint only slightly.
  • Q: Is 1.74 more fragile?
  • A: No, it has excellent structural integrity, though it is best suited for full-rim frames.
  • Q: Does the darkening effect wear out?
  • A: Our premium molecules are designed for a lifespan of 2-3 years under normal usage.
  • Q: Can these be blue-cut as well?
  • A: Yes, we offer a 1.74 Photo-Blue-Cut hybrid version.
  • Q: What is the Abbe value?
  • A: The Abbe value is 33, which is excellent for an ultra-high index material.
  • Q: Are they available in Brown?
  • A: We offer both high-contrast Brown and neutral Grey.
  • Q: Do they stay clear at night?
  • A: Yes, they return to a fully transparent state (over 95% transmission) in the absence of UV.
