Lens Options Guide
A visual rundown of every lens option in the OSSO packages: what each one is, when it helps, and which package includes it, so you can choose with confidence.
Lens Materials
What the lens is made from. This sets the impact protection, weight, and how thin a strong prescription can be.
Polycarbonate
The standard safety lens material: lightweight, highly impact-resistant, and meets the ANSI Z87.1 rating out of the box.
Blocks UV on its own, with no separate UV coating needed.
Best for
Everyday safety wearHigh-impact tasksMost roles
Included in
ComplianceComfortComplete
Trivex
A lightweight material with impact protection similar to polycarbonate, but with crisper optics and extra durability for rimless or drilled mountings.
Best for
Sharper opticsRimless or drilled framesAll-day comfort
Hi-Index Material
Denser material that makes lenses thinner and lighter for stronger prescriptions, so high powers don't end up thick and heavy at the edges.
Best for
Strong prescriptionsThinner, flatter lensesLess weight
Lens Designs
How correction is arranged across the lens. Progressive Basic, Advanced, and Premium are good / better / best tiers of the same no-line design. Higher tiers widen the usable zones and reduce edge distortion.
Single Vision
One correction across the whole lens, for distance, intermediate, or near vision. The most common safety lens.
