Lampworking Glasses Ace Didymium – Model 70F economy plastic frame is the perfect frame for most lampworking applications. Schott Glass Technologies has developed contrast enhancement glass for spectacle lenses. This material, called ACE, short for “Amethyst Contrast Enhancer,” utilizes rare earth oxides in the glass composition to achieve the unique color enhancing characteristics.
The Lampworking Glasses Ace Didymium – Model 70F economy plastic frame color enhancement concept works by selectively positioning transmission in the blue, green, and red spectral regions whereby one can improve the color discrimination between different color objects. These are the same colors used to produce a color television picture. They optimize the readability of such displays under high ambient light conditions.
Phillips 202 ACE Didymium glass utilizes rare earth oxides in its composition to provide the same filtration. This glass is very efficient in filtering sodium flare in addition to providing ultraviolet protection to 390nm. The ACE Didymiums are becoming a preferable choice of lampworkers. These glasses are very comfortable for viewing under high ambient light conditions such as when working with glowing heat sources for a duration of time. Also, although it has a relatively low luminous transmission of 38%, it is not recommended for sun protection use unless UV filtering coatings are applied. These Lampworking glasses are excellent for working with soft glass and clear borosilicate similar to the old Didymium glasses.

A single vision lens is a type of eyeglass lens that has the same prescription power throughout the entire lens. It’s designed to correct just one type of vision problem, such as nearsightedness (trouble seeing far away) or farsightedness (trouble seeing up close). People who need glasses to see clearly at just one distance—whether for reading or distance.
A digital single vision lens is a more advanced version of a regular single vision lens, made using high-precision “freeform” technology. This process creates the lens with greater accuracy, resulting in clearer and sharper vision, especially at the edges of the lens. What makes digital lenses even better is that they are tailored specifically to your frame’s curve and size. This customization ensures that the lens fits your frame perfectly, giving you a more comfortable and personalized visual experience compared to traditional single vision lenses.
A Flat Top 28 bifocal, also called an FT-28, is a type of bifocal lens that has two different areas of vision correction. The top part of the lens is for seeing things far away, and the lower part is for reading or seeing things up close. The “Flat Top” part means that the reading section is shaped like a small half-circle with a flat top, while “28” refers to the width of the reading section in millimeters. It allows you to switch between near and far vision easily without needing two pairs of glasses.

The top part of the lens is for seeing things far away, and the lower part is for reading or seeing things up close. The “Flat Top” part means that the reading section is shaped like a small half-circle with a flat top, while “35” refers to the width of the reading section in millimeters. It allows you to switch between near and far vision easily without needing two pairs of glasses.
A progressive no-line bifocal is a type of lens that helps you see clearly at different distances—near, far, and in-between—without any visible lines on the lens. Unlike traditional bifocals, which have a noticeable line separating the areas for near and far vision, progressive no-line bifocals have a smooth, gradual transition in lens power. This means you can look through different parts of the lens to see clearly at various distances, making it easier to switch between tasks like driving, reading, or using a computer without needing separate glasses.

Non-prescription lenses provide the same high-quality materials, UV protection, and a variety of lens coatings, including anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and blue light filtering options. You can also customize them with a range of tints like polarized or mirrored finishes, adding both style and protection. Ideal for those seeking eye comfort or aesthetic enhancement without vision correction.
Lined Trifocal Glasses are designed with distinct areas designated for near, intermediate, and distance vision, eliminating the need for constant adjustments or swapping glasses. This design guarantees a smooth and effortless shift between different focal points.
Double segment prescription bifocals, commonly referred to as Double D bifocals within the optical industry, are specialized safety lenses designed for individuals who require enhanced visual assistance. These unique lenses feature two distinct segments resembling the capital letter ‘D’ – one positioned at the upper and another at the lower part of the lens.
Professionals such as electricians, mechanics, and plumbers often find themselves working in tight and confined spaces, necessitating the ability to view objects up close, above, and below them without the need to constantly adjust their heads. The ingenious placement of the bifocal segments on the Double D lenses allows these individuals to effortlessly glance up or down and access the full bifocal power, enhancing their efficiency and convenience at work.
Ordering Double D bifocals follows a process similar to that of standard lined bifocals. The essential information required includes the prescription details, ADD power, and pupil distance. The distance between the two segments is fixed at 14 mm. Therefore, determining the segment height merely involves measuring up to the bottom eyelid while wearing the glasses. Alternatively, adhering to the standard practice, the segment height can be set at 3 mm below the center of the lens, just like with regular bifocals.
RX Safety proudly presents an extensive collection of double segment bifocals, featuring a diverse range of frames available in various shapes, colors, sizes, and materials. With our wide selection, customers can choose bifocal glasses that not only cater to their specific vision needs but also complement their personal style preferences, ensuring both clarity and fashion in one stylish package.
Polycarbonate (often called “poly”) is a popular material used for eyeglass lenses. It’s lightweight, strong, and impact-resistant, making it great for safety glasses or for people who are active. Polycarbonate lenses have a thinner profile compared to regular plastic lenses because they have a higher index of refraction, which means they can bend light more efficiently. The index of polycarbonate is 1.59, which allows for thinner lenses even with stronger prescriptions. (Abbe Value 30)
Trivex is a type of lens material that’s similar to polycarbonate but has some added benefits. Like polycarbonate, Trivex lenses are lightweight, strong, and impact-resistant, making them great for active people or for use in safety glasses. What sets Trivex apart is that it provides even clearer vision because of its higher optical quality. It also has a slightly lower index of refraction (1.53), meaning the lenses may be a little thicker than polycarbonate, but they’re still very light and comfortable to wear. (Abbe Value 44)
High index 1.67 plastic lenses are a type of eyeglass lens designed for people with stronger prescriptions. These lenses are thinner and lighter than regular lenses because they have a higher index of refraction (1.67), which means they bend light more efficiently. Even if you need a strong prescription, 1.67 high index lenses help reduce the thickness and weight, making your glasses more comfortable and less bulky. They are available in a wide array of lens types and other special coatings. We highly recommend purchasing an Anti Reflective coating with the high index lenses since they reflect a considerably higher percentage of light than standard lenses. (Abbe Value 32).
In a nutshell, if you have a prescription below a -3, there isn’t really any reason to invest in high-index glasses because they won’t look any different to the human eye and there won’t be any real benefit to the higher-index lens. The standard lenses have a higher Abbe value, so the quality of vision will be far superior. The difference between 1.67, which is considered regular index and 1.74 is quite small, and really, the only way you’ll notice the difference is if you have a prescription below a -6 or above a +4. However, if you are in need of a very strong prescription, it is absolutely worth the additional cost! Your glasses will be more comfortable and more flattering, and that will improve your quality of life overall.
1.74 High Index lenses represent the highest index available in plastic lenses, and they’re an excellent choice if you’re aiming to minimize lens thickness for stronger prescriptions. They’re particularly beneficial for individuals with prescriptions over +/-8 or with high cylinder corrections. Additionally, if you’re drawn to larger frame styles, 1.74 lenses will help reduce the added thickness that often accompanies higher prescriptions in bigger frames. This makes your glasses look less bulky and more comfortable to wear, even with a high prescription. High index 1.74 lenses are perfect for anyone looking for a sleek, lightweight option with strong vision correction. We highly recommend purchasing an Anti Reflective coating with the high index lenses since they reflect a considerably higher percentage of light than standard lenses. (Abbe Value 33).

Standard glass lenses are known for their excellent optical quality and scratch resistance. Because glass naturally has a high level of clarity, these lenses offer sharp, clear vision. Glass lenses are also highly resistant to scratches, making them a durable choice that can maintain their quality over time. However, one downside is that glass lenses are heavier than plastic or other modern materials, which can make them less comfortable for all-day wear, especially in stronger prescriptions. Despite their weight, glass lenses remain a great option for those prioritizing durability and top-notch optical clarity. (Abbe Value 59)
1.60 High Index glass lenses will be an excellent option for mid-strength or ordinary eyeglasses prescriptions. The 1.60 glass lenses are thinner than standard 1.523 glass lenses and still offer High Optical quality and scratch resistance. These lenses make a great option if you value a thinner look and lightweight comfort in your eyewear. (Abbe value 44)
1.70 High Index glass lenses will be an excellent option for mid-strength or high eyeglasses prescriptions. The 1.70 glass lenses are thinner than standard 1.523 or 1.60 glass lenses and still offer the Highest Optical quality and scratch resistance. These lenses make a great option if you value a thin look and lightweight comfort in your eyewear. (Abbe value 39).
High Index Glass Facts
Eye prescriptions below +/-4.00 can benefit from our standard 1.53 or 1.60 lenses. We recommend 1.70 or 1.80 high-index lenses for people with prescriptions between +/-4.00 and +/-8.00, and 1.80 & 1.90 high-index lenses for people with prescriptions +/-8.00 and higher. We highly recommend purchasing an Anti Reflective coating with the high index lenses since they reflect a considerably higher percentage of light than standard lenses.
The positive qualities of high index lenses apply to a large group of corrective eye-wear consumers but not to all. If your prescription is a relatively weak one, the weight and thickness variations between standard lenses and high index lenses would not vary all that much. If high index lenses cannot offer you a noticeable reduction in thickness or increase in appearance, they may not be worth the higher cost to you. The standard lenses offer offer a much higher Abbe value, so the lenses will be superior in vision quality than the high index lenses. The high index lenses are also dense, so they will have added weight.
1.80 High Index glass lenses will be an excellent option for high to very-high eyeglasses prescriptions. The 1.80 glass lenses are thinner than standard 1.523, 1.60, and 1.70 glass lenses and still offer the Highest Optical quality and scratch resistance. These lenses make a great option if you value a thin look and lightweight comfort in your eyewear. If you purchase 1.80 High index lenses, you add an Anti-Reflective Coating to reduce glare.

If you spend considerable time outdoors and experience discomfort from bright light, dark green lenses can help mitigate these effects, providing relief throughout your day. This advantage is particularly beneficial in sunny climates, catering to outdoor enthusiasts engaging in sports and fishing or boating enthusiasts.
Opt for Polarized Gray lenses to unlock a multitude of advantages. With their inherent polarization, these lenses effectively block reflective light rays, preventing them from hitting and entering your eyes. The filtered light that reaches your eyes results in reduced glare, minimized eye strain, and enhanced overall vision—transforming your perception of colors and images.
The combination of polarization and the natural benefits of gray lenses makes Polarized Gray lenses ideal for various environments and situations. Gray lenses excel in reducing eye strain under sunny, cloudy, or hazy conditions, making them perfect for activities like golf or tennis. They also effectively diminish water glare, making them a compelling choice for fishing or water sports enthusiasts.
While gray lenses maintain the true color of objects and people in your sight, they may lack some contrast needed in specific situations, such as driving. Despite this consideration, Polarized Gray lenses remain an attractive option for those spending ample time outdoors, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Polarized brown lenses, similar to their gray counterparts, offer distinctive advantages, primarily stemming from their inherent polarization. Beyond reducing eye strain and safeguarding your eyes from long-term damage, the unique benefits of polarized brown lenses make them a valuable investment, especially if you frequently find yourself squinting at screens indoors or objects outdoors.
The brown color of these lenses sets them apart by providing exceptional contrast, making them particularly beneficial for driving on highways or quiet roads. With an added red element enhancing depth perception, polarized brown lenses offer clarity in various activities, from sports like golf, baseball, tennis, football, soccer, to water sports. Their versatility extends to both sunny and overcast days, making them an ideal choice for athletes engaged in multiple sports.
Beyond specialized use, polarized brown lenses are well-suited for general-purpose wear, boasting anti-fatigue properties that reduce strain from squinting in everyday scenarios. Their optimal darkness ensures ample overall protection, making them a reliable and versatile eyewear option for various outdoor conditions.
A scratch-resistant coating serves as a crucial enhancement for surfaces that lack inherent scratch resistance, such as CR-39 plastic, polycarbonate, or Trivex. This protective layer acts as a robust barrier, reinforcing the lens surface to withstand the impact of both significant gouges and minor scratches.
By effectively preventing the accumulation of smaller scratches that may crisscross and contribute to a hazy appearance over time, this coating ensures that your lenses maintain optimal clarity and visual acuity.
Particularly beneficial for lenses crafted from materials other than glass, the addition of a scratch-resistant coating significantly extends their productive lifespan, contributing to the longevity and durability of your eyewear. It not only safeguards against wear and tear but also preserves the overall quality of your lenses, making it a valuable investment for sustained visual performance.
While UV light remains imperceptible to the human eye, prolonged exposure to excessive amounts can lead to retinal burning and scarring. Many sunglasses are intentionally crafted to block a substantial level of UV radiation, prioritizing eye protection. Depending on their function or the lens material used, various lenses may inherently provide some level of UV ray filtration.
However, if your lenses lack a specified UV screening level and you frequently spend time outdoors, considering an additional UV coating can offer an extra layer of protection and provide peace of mind.
It’s worth noting that polycarbonate lenses, due to the inherent properties of the material, do not necessitate an anti-UV treatment, ensuring that they naturally safeguard your eyes against harmful UV rays.
The science behind an anti-fog coating lies in its ability to chemically influence the adhesion of water molecules, preventing them from clustering into larger formations that could impede clear vision.
For those who regularly experience temperature fluctuations or find themselves in humid conditions, investing in an anti-fog coating becomes a practical choice to effectively combat condensation. This is especially true for individuals involved in strenuous activities such as physical labor, sports, or exercise, where fluctuations in body temperature are commonplace and can lead to annoying lens fogging.
In such scenarios, an anti-fog coating emerges as a valuable solution, ensuring that your eyewear remains consistently clear and free from obstructive condensation, enhancing both safety and visual comfort in diverse environmental and physical settings.
Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating is a remarkable enhancement for eyewear lenses designed to minimize glare and reflections, providing wearers with a crystal-clear view. This coating eliminates distracting glare produced by light reflections through the lenses, making it beneficial for individuals subjected to direct or indirect reflections, especially those spending prolonged periods in front of screens, experiencing eye strain, or driving at night.
Ideal for high index lenses, where reflections are more pronounced, the AR coating is recommended and practically mandatory for glass high index lenses. However, it’s worth noting that AR coating may not be suitable for outdoor glasses, dusty environments, or constant cleaning. In such cases, it is advised to wet the lenses before cleaning.
The AR coating not only enhances contrast, clarity, and overall visual experience but also contributes to a sleek and polished appearance, virtually making the lenses invisible and allowing your eyes to be the focus.
