Singlevision:
|
All purpose lenses that can be ordered in all lens materials
for distance, reading or task-specific vision corrections. |
| |
|
| Bifocal: |
Traditional bifocals have only two ranges of vision- near and
far- with a distance zone established in the upper portion of the
lens, and the lower zone enabling near vision tasks such as reading
located on the bottom half of the lens. A noticeable line
separates the zones. |
| |
|
| Trifocal: |
These lenses have three different zones
separated by visible lines for seeing at varying distances –near,
intermediate and far- and can be made custom for you to accommodate
your lifestyle or occupation. |
| |
|
| Progressive: |
These lenses have many advantages over traditional bifocals and
trifocals because they allow the wearer to focus at many different
distances, not just two or three. Because they have no lines,
progressive lenses allow a smooth, comfortable transition from
one distance to another. They are a much better option for active,
multi-tasking people. |
| |
|
| Hybrid Progressive Lenses: |
Hybrid progressive lenses are also
available and are generally known as ‘wavefront’ or ‘digital’ progressives,
these lenses are technologically and visually superior due to the
way the lens prescription is achieved and allow the wearer better
vision zones than conventional progressives at a slightly higher
cost. |
| |
|
| Office or Computer Lenses: |
These lenses do not have any lines and are specifically made
for working within a short distance of 2-4 feet to see the computer
monitor or the desk on the top part of the lens and the lower part
of the lens for nearer vision such as the keyboard or reading a
book. |
| |
|
| Photochromic Lenses: |
Lenses that quickly change from light
to dark depending on the amount of ultraviolet light they are exposed
to. Early photochromics were strictly glass lenses, but today,
you can choose photochromics in plastic in a variety of lens styles
with full ultra-violet protection. |
| |
|
| Polarized Lenses: |
Lenses that reduce the glare from reflective
objects such as water or windows and also reduce eye fatigue. |
| |
|
| High-Index Lenses: |
Thinner and lighter lenses for higher-powered prescriptions that
the thickness is reduced. Together with anti-reflective coating
creates a more attractive look with most fashion frames. |
| |
|
| Polycarbonate Lenses: |
Lenses that are lightweight as well
and being impact resistant. Polycarbonate lenses are used
for safety eyewear. Poly is a softer material that scratches
a little easier than regular plastic, so a durable scratch resistant
coating is required. |
