Lenses

Single Vision – lenses used for simple prescriptions when a patient still has full range of focus, or targeted for a specific focus such as reading or computer work.

Bifocal – Allow clear vision at two distinct distances, such as distance and reading. A line seperates the two parts of the lens. Otherwise known as “lined bifocals” or “Flat Tops.”

Trifocal – Allow clear vision at three distinct distances, such as distance, intermediate (computer or dashboard distance), and reading. A line seperates the three parts of the lens.

Progressive – These lenses have a smooth transition from distance to near allowing clear vision at any distance. There is no line making the lens appear as if it were single vision. Otherwise known as “no lines.”

Occupational – Custom lenses designed for specific visual requirements.

Materials

Plastic –provide good optics and are durable. Can be tinted any color. Plastic lenses are susceptible to scratches and should receive a protective coating.

Polycarbonate – the most impact resistant and safest lens available. Thin and lightweight. Essential for athletes and children.

High Index – Revolutionary material that makes lenses thinner and lighter. These eliminate the “Coke Bottle” lenses of the past.

Photochromic – made of photosensitive material that automatically darken when in sunlight or shade, yet remain clear indoors. Available in both glass and plastic materials.

Lens Treatments

Scratch coating – Hardens the lens surface reducing the risk for scratching.

Anti Reflective Coating – Elimates the glare induced by glasses. Improves vision in all light conditions, especially helpful for night driving and computer use.

Polarized sunglasses – Eliminates reflected glare, improving vision around water and while driving.
