The worlds thinnest plastic lens material
Standard plastic spectacle lenses have done a satisfactory job for many years in correcting vision, but new materials and modern technology have enabled Kodak Lens to develop a range of Kodak Thin & Lite Lenses in single vision, bifocal and varifocal designs.
Kodak Thin & Lite Lenses are up to 65% thinner and 45% lighter than standard plastic lenses, making your glasses better looking and also more comfortable to wear.
The Kodak Thin & Lite Lens materials range from 1.56 index to 1.74 index (the world's thinnest plastic lens material). As a rough guide the higher the index number the thinner the lens, but choice of frame will also affect the finished thickness of your lenses.
These lenses are available as single vision, bifocal, varifocal and sun lenses.

Kodak Thin&Lite compared to standard lenses
Kodak Thin & Lite Lens - 1.56
Up to 38% flatter, 32% lighter and 30% thinner than standard plastic lenses
Due to the aspheric nature of the 1.56 lens, it is actually thinner than a 1.6 non-aspheric lens. Aspheric design allows flatter, thinner lenses and enhanced vision. Kodak Thin & Lite 1.56 lenses come with RLX Plus® as standard.
