Indicative ranges, not quotes. Every dollar figure here is a typical range as of 2026-06-12, observed from public retailer and industry references and cited on the page — not a guaranteed price. Real cost depends on your prescription, retailer, frame and region. This is informational cost guidance, not medical, prescription or optometric advice — see an eye-care professional for a prescription and exact fit.
Trivex is an impact-resistant plastic lens material with a refractive index of 1.53. It offers similar durability and shatter resistance to polycarbonate but typically delivers superior optical clarity and a lower Abbe number impact on color fringing. The material is lightweight and thinner than standard plastic, though not as thin as high-index options. Its combination of safety and optical performance makes it a popular choice for everyday eyewear.
Trivex typically carries an indicative add-on cost range of $30–$100 as of June 2026, though pricing varies by retailer and prescription complexity. It suits a broad range of prescriptions, particularly those seeking the impact resistance benefits of polycarbonate without sacrificing visual quality. It is especially practical for active use and situations where durability matters. Because cost data for this material is variable, it is worth confirming exact pricing with your eyewear provider, as availability and pricing structures differ.
Why these are ranges, not a single price
Retail optical pricing has no authoritative single number: it moves with your prescription strength, the retailer, the frame and your region. So every figure here is an honest typical window observed from public retailer and industry references on the date shown, with the source cited — never a fabricated point price. Add-ons marked low-confidence (polycarbonate, blue-light, scratch, UV, tint) are frequently bundled free, so their floor can be $0.
