Thin and Light
High performance lenses that combine comfort, style and clarity.
Our Thin and Light lenses are extremely popular, offering excellent aesthetics, comfort and visual performance without compromising on quality. Whether you’re looking for single vision, bifocal, varifocal, photochromic or polarised lenses, thinner lenses can significantly reduce lens thickness and weight compared to standard lenses.
Using advanced lens materials and designs, Thin and Light lenses provide a slimmer, more attractive appearance while maintaining the same corrective power. The result is lighter, more comfortable eyewear with improved cosmetics and all-day comfort.
