Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the main difference between high index and regular lenses?
High index lenses are thinner, lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing than regular lenses. They use advanced materials with higher refractive indexes (1.61-1.74) compared to regular lenses (1.50).
Do I need high index lenses?
If your prescription is stronger than +/-4.00, high index lenses are recommended for comfort and aesthetics. They’re also ideal if you’re concerned about lens thickness or want lighter glasses.
Will high index lenses affect my vision quality?
No, high index lenses provide the same vision correction as regular lenses. Some users report better peripheral vision due to reduced edge distortion.
Are high index lenses more fragile?
Despite being thinner, high index lenses are durable and scratch-resistant when properly coated. All our lenses include premium protective coatings.
Can I get high index lenses with any frame?
Yes, high index lenses work with most frames. They’re particularly well-suited for rimless and semi-rimless styles due to their reduced thickness. Visit our frame guide for recommendations.
Why are high index lenses more expensive?
The advanced materials and manufacturing processes make high index lenses costlier. However, at Titanium Optix, we offer them at 30-40% below standard market prices.
How long do high index lenses last?
With proper care, high index lenses last as long as regular lenses – typically 1-2 years or until your prescription changes.
