Eyeglass lenses come in different materials. The most common material is plastic.
These materials are available for most single-vision and multifocal lenses. Would you like to learn more about these lenses? Go to the section for single-vision and/or progressive lenses to see the differences between the different types of single-vision and multifocal lenses.
In the olden days, eyeglass lenses were only available in one type of material: glass. These lenses are also called mineral lenses. They don’t get dirty quite as quickly. The demand for this type of lens is mostly from the older generation who hang on to old habits. Optolux® is the name for optoVision lenses made of glass.
These days practically all lenses are made of plastic. There are a lot of advantages to plastic. One advantage: lenses don’t break as easily.
Orgalit® is the name of optoVision lenses made of plastic.
Trivex® is a substance made of plastic, but is much stronger than regular plastic. It doesn’t break or crack. It is even used in windows for attack helicopters.
We can compare it to cups made of enamel. Just like the cups, the lenses will not break if you drop your glasses.
Vision Company has already been powered by German optoVision for 10 years when it comes to lenses. We are their exclusive distributor for their high-technology lenses in the Belgian market.
optoVision was founded in 1979 and has developed a lot of expertise over the years. This expertise is evident to everyone. In 2016, optoVision has been elected over and over as the number 1 lens supplier of the biennial survey by 'markt intern' in Germany.
An internal market study compared 13 German lens suppliers based on 12 criteria. The German opticians gave 12 separate scores for each manufacturer. And that is how optoVision proudly accepted the title of the best lens manufacturer not just once, but four times in a row.
In 2017, optoVision consciously said ‘no’ to moving production to low-wage countries. No less than 6.000.000 euros were invested in production in Langen.
optoVision may not be so well known in the Belgian market, but we are doing everything within our power to compete against the large, well-known brand name suppliers. We attend training multiple times a year so that we can give you the most accurate info.
