Welcome to David J Scholten, OD, PC - your premier source for thin and lightweight lenses. We understand the importance of comfort and clarity when it comes to eyeglasses, and that's why we offer a wide selection of high-quality lenses that are designed to provide the best visual experience for our customers.

Why Choose Thin and Lightweight Lenses?

When it comes to eyeglasses, the weight and thickness of the lenses can have a significant impact on your overall comfort. Traditional lenses can be heavy and bulky, causing discomfort and leaving marks on the nose bridge. Thin and lightweight lenses, on the other hand, offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Comfort: The reduced weight of thin and lightweight lenses makes them more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. You'll hardly feel the glasses on your face, allowing you to focus on your daily tasks without distractions.
  • Improved Aesthetics: Thin and lightweight lenses offer a more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing appearance. They reduce the distortion caused by thick lenses and provide a more natural look, enhancing your facial features.
  • Better Visual Clarity: These lenses are designed to provide exceptional optical clarity, reducing lens distortions and improving your overall visual experience. You'll enjoy sharper and clearer vision without compromising on style.
  • Durability and Longevity: Thin and lightweight lenses are made from high-quality materials that are built to last. They are less prone to scratches and offer better resistance to impact, ensuring that your eyeglasses stay in great condition for a longer time.
  • Compatibility: Thin and lightweight lenses are compatible with a wide range of frame styles, allowing you to choose the eyeglasses that best suit your personal style and preferences.

Types of Thin and Lightweight Lenses

At David J Scholten, OD, PC, we offer a variety of thin and lightweight lenses to meet your individual needs and preferences. Our lens options include:

1. High-Index Lenses

High-index lenses are made from materials that have a higher refractive index, which means they can bend light more efficiently. This allows for thinner lenses with the same optical prescription as thicker traditional lenses. They are an excellent choice for those with higher prescriptions who want to avoid bulky and heavy eyeglasses.

2. Polycarbonate Lenses

Polycarbonate lenses are known for their impact resistance and durability. They are thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses, making them a popular choice for active individuals or those who prioritize safety. Polycarbonate lenses also come with built-in UV protection, ensuring that your eyes are shielded from harmful UV rays.

3. Trivex Lenses

Trivex lenses are another great option for those seeking thin and lightweight eyeglasses. They offer excellent optical clarity, impact resistance, and lightweight comfort. Trivex lenses are also known for their ability to correct various visual aberrations, giving you the clearest vision possible.

Choosing the Right Thin and Lightweight Lenses

When it comes to selecting the right thin and lightweight lenses, it's important to consider a few factors:

1. Prescription

Depending on your specific vision needs, our experienced optometrists will guide you in choosing the appropriate lens material and thickness. We offer comprehensive eye exams to accurately determine your prescription and ensure that you receive the lenses that offer the best visual correction.

2. Lifestyle

Your lifestyle plays a significant role in determining the type of thin and lightweight lenses that will suit you best. If you lead an active lifestyle, polycarbonate or Trivex lenses may be the ideal choice due to their durability and impact resistance. For fashion-conscious individuals, high-index lenses provide a sleek and stylish option.

3. Personal Preferences

At David J Scholten, OD, PC, we believe that eyeglasses should not only provide optimal vision but also reflect your personal style. Our frame selection combined with our thin and lightweight lenses ensures that you can find the perfect pair that matches your unique preferences.
