Enjoy perfect vision outdoors with lenses custom made in your prescription.

Lenses and coatings

Types of Lenses

Single vision lenses

Single vision lenses are the most basic type of lens. They also tend to be the least expensive. If you’re only short-sighted or long-sighted, you’ll likely be prescribed single vision lenses.

Bifocals

Bifocals are lenses with two separate powers. All within one lens, you have separate sections for near and distance correction, which makes them a versatile choice. These lenses have a line on the lens so cosmetically they are not the most appealing. However optically they give a wide area of clear vision for distance and close up.

Progressive lenses

Progressive lenses perform the same job as bifocals but in a different way. They work around the dividing lines of bifocals. Transitions from “near” to “intermediate” to “distance” correction are much smoother. The actual visual field within progressive lenses is smaller than that of bifocals or trifocals. Sometimes it needs a little getting used to as there is a gradual change in prescription.

Computer Progressive Lenses

Computer Progressive Lenses: an occupational progressive lens that provides correction intermediate and near vision. Offers a larger intermediate zone than regular progressive lenses. Computer lenses are generally not suitable for driving or regular wear.

Lens Coatings and Options:

After picking out frames and the type of lenses you want for your new eyeglasses, you should decide if a lens coating is right for you. Eyeglass lens coatings can enhance lens (and eye) performance and can add to the appearance of your new lenses.

Anti-Reflective Coating

Anti reflection coating (also called AR coating or anti-glare coating) is a thin coating that eliminates reflections and glare from the front and back surfaces of your lenses.

This type of coating also decreases halos around light and creates a nicer cosmetic appearance, making your lenses nearly invisible. AR coating improves light transmission through the lens for night driving and helps photochromic lenses reduce glare in bright sunlight. AR coating is highly recommended for all eyeglass lenses, but especially for polycarbonate, high-index and aspheric lenses, which all reflect more light than regular lenses.

Blue light filter

Blue-light blocking glasses block or absorb blue light, and in some cases UV light, from getting through.

That means if you use these glasses when looking at a screen, especially after dark, they can help reduce exposure to blue light waves that can keep some of us awake. Blue light radiation from light sources or screens can be irritating or tiring for some people’s eyes. Some people find that light sources with a high proportion of blue light can make them feel more restless at night. Eyeglass lenses with a blue light filter can create more comfortable vision in these situations.

Scratch-Resistant Coating

Scratched lenses are distracting and can affect your ability to see clearly.

Read More
Today, most eyeglass lenses have built-in scratch resistant coatings, including high-index lenses and lenses made of polycarbonate and Trivex. These types of lenses are treated front and back with a clear, scratch-resistant coating and have a much harder surface. Kids’ lenses benefit from a scratch-resistant hard coating for greater durability.

UV Coating

Cumulative exposure to UV radiation is bad for our eyes and is associated with age-related eye problems such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

Read More
Lenses that block 100% of both UVA and UVB help to ward off the damaging effects of UV radiation. UVA rays can penetrate your eyes down to your retina. UVB rays cause cataracts, macular degeneration and conditions like pterygia, which is the presence of visible growths on the surface of the eye. UVB rays also cause photokeratitis, which is a corneal inflammation.

Photochromic Treatment

Photochromic lenses (a.k.a. Transitions) darken automatically in response to sunlight and return to clear (or nearly clear) when indoors.

Read More
Photochromic lenses are available in virtually all lens materials and designs. Sunlight changes these from clear to tinted. You may no longer need sunglasses, although they may not darken in your car if the windshield blocks UV rays.

Polarized sunglasses

These lenses reduce glare from a surfaces like water, so they’re great for sports and driving.

Read More
Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks waves of light travelling in horizontal plane, reducing glare and discomfort. The image you see with polarized lenses is crisper and clearer, and details are easier to see than a regular sunglass tint. People who fish, in particular, find polarized sunglasses drastically cut the glare and help them see into the water.

Tinted Lenses

Lens tinting can aid vision or add some cosmetic style to your glasses.

A yellow tint may increase contrast and a gray tint may not alter color perception with sunglasses.
