Lens Designs - The basic vocabulary of lenses

Single Vision

This all-purpose lens is available in all materials and provides vision correction for one viewing area. The corrected area can be for far distance and near distance.

Multifocals

Recommended when you require correction for both distance and near viewing areas in one single pair of glasses. Available as no-line progressives, bifocals, and trifocals.

No-Line Progressives

Designed to allow you to see at distance (driving a vehicle), intermediate (looking at the dashboard), and near (reading a map) with no lines or sections. The absence of bifocal lines makes this lens the most desirable cosmetically. You will also enjoy continuous vision from far to near with this lens design.

Bifocals

Provide both far and near correction in one lens. A visible line divides the two areas providing a visible segment for near viewing.

Trifocals

A variation of the bifocals. This double line lens provides you with correction in three areas - distance, intermediate, and near.

Aspherics

Reduce the affect of your eyes looking larger or smaller behind your glasses. Plus, the image remains more clear when you look through the sides of the lenses. And, the lenses are thinner and lighter.

Lens Treatments - Features you should consider

UV protection

The sun's ultraviolet rays pose potential harm to your eyes. We recommend protection on all our lenses. UV filters for your lenses accomplish the same thing as sunscreen does for you skin - shield your eyes from harmful UV rays. A must have for adults and children to promote healthy vision.

Scratch Resistant Coating

Highly recommended to protect your lenses from everyday wear-and-tear. Protecting your lens surface prolongs the usefullness of your lenses and protects your investment in good vision.

Anti-Reflective

A special coating that reduces distracting reflections, resulting in:

• more transmitted light
• better quality of vision
• improved night vision and
• reduced eye fatigue

Great for working on a computer and driving at night, these lenses also offer a cosmetically appealing "invisible lens look" that makes the lens disappear and shows your eyes more clearly.

Adjustable Tint Lenses

Darken in sunlight and lighten indoors. Improved technology provides you with a lens that is virtually clear indoors and dark as sunglasses outdoors and protects you from harmful UV rays.
