Introducing Glass Prescription Lenses
made by SafeVision, LLC.

SafeVision is pleased to present prescription glass lenses (clear and sunglasses) for our valued customers everyday & leisure use**. 

For adults with higher prescriptions, children, or people in high impact environments, we recommend plastic or polycarbonate lens replacements.

Most consumers are unaware that prescription lenses made of Glass provide the best optics and are the finest lenses money can buy.  We urge you to try your next pair of everyday or leisure prescription lenses in Glass by SafeVision.  You will notice an incredible optical improvement over any other material.

Glass lenses can't be "made in an hour" and require special expertise to make and ensure quality, so retail & chain stores ignore glass lenses.  Also, there are a few myths in the retail arena that have steered people away from glass lenses.

Advantages of Glass Prescription Lenses
-Better Optics - Glass lenses have the largest achievable refractive coefficient (hi index). The maximum index of optical glass greatly surpasses the maximum index of plastic. In layman's terms, this means when you order hi index glass, the visual acuity is superior and lenses can be thinner and flatter than plastic counterparts with the same power. This is most important when dealing with high prescription powers.  Even in lower prescriptions, the optics you get from glass are incredibly crisp and clear.  You literally have to see for yourself the great vision you'll have with glass lenses. 

-Durability - Glass is the undisputed leader in scratch resistance.  For those who have spent a fortune replacing scratched plastic or polycarbonate lenses, this should be reason enough for you to buy glass lenses!  The scratch resistance of plastic lenses, coated or not, doesn’t even come close to that of glass.  If you are in a sandy, dusty, or oily environment, you will benefit from glass lenses.

Glass lenses last!  They perform like they were new long after the features of other lenses have fatigued, bleached, sagged, scratched or worn out. Glass lenses retain the exact, original prescription power and edge diameter under any naturally occurring temperature extremes.  They even remain stable on a sizzling-hot dashboard where plastic and poly lenses have been known to deform.  Bottom line: Glass lenses are by far the most scratch resistant material you can buy.

-Better with Anti Reflective (AR) coating than plastic - Glass lenses are the preferred lenses for use with AR coatings. AR coatings are applied to glass lenses at higher temperatures, so the coatings bond more firmly and will hold up much longer than on softer lens materials like plastic and polycarbonate.  AR of course, will enhance the beauty and visible transmission of any lens material and reduce reflections for the wearer, and is very popular today for its optical and cosmetic advantages.

-Product & color choices - Glass lenses are available in all of today's popular lens styles (see glass options page for details).  That’s why so many people choose glass lenses for specialized occupational and recreational visual tasks.

The top brands in high-fashion sunglasses (Maui Jim, Rayban, etc.) use glass in their high end Non Prescription lenses for its inherent durability and coating integrity. Glass lenses reliably block UV, visible and IR light; they make vision in high intensity environments both safe and more comfortable.  Glass is by far the superior lens choice in fashion & sunglass eyewear use.
