If you do love the fashionable and stylish frames, high-index lenses are a great choice for those types of frames. One of the downsides of high-index lenses is how easily the lenses can scratch. However, you do not have to let this downside stop you. You have the option of choosing to add an anti-reflective coating or a scratch-resistant coating that will give you the best protection from scratches.

If your lenses are not made of the right materials, but you have the frames of your choice, will that do you any good? The answer is no. Before you choose your frames, you should do as much research on lens material as possible.
