What is the difference between the Silicone, PVC, Acetate, and Bohemian Crystal nose pads?

Amcon offers a variety of nose pads made from different materials to meet the needs of diverse frame designs and wearer preferences:

  • Silicone Nose Pads: Flexible and soft, these are the most commonly used pads due to their comfort and ability to conform to the bridge of the nose.

  • PVC Nose Pads: Firmer than silicone, PVC pads are often chosen by patients who prefer a more rigid pad or who may be sensitive to silicone.

  • Acetate Nose Pads: These are very firm and more rigid than PVC. Acetate pads are suitable for those needing an alternative to both silicone and PVC.

  • Bohemian Crystal Nose Pads: Made from clear glass with a polycarbonate post, these are non-porous and often used for individuals with sensitivity to all other pad types.
