Lens Materials is the database associating and RX-Universe Lens Code to a specifiac material type. IE: Material type C=Polycarbonate
To access the database click on the menu below
Once your in the Lens Materials Database you will be able to scroll or search for specific Lens Materials.
The first column is Code, this the Code assigned by RX-Universe to that Specific type.
The next column is the Type, as you can tell there could be Multiple Plastic Type with different index of refraction, each one will have its own RX-U Code.
Here below is a reference table of the Material code associated to the Index along with its Material type.
