Lens Types
The Different Types of Vision
Single Vision
You will need this type of lens if you need to correct one specific distance. This would be the case for hyperopes or farsighted users that need glasses to see up close; myopes of nearsighted users that can see clearly up close but need their glasses to see better at distance; or intermediate vision designed to help you see clearly at your computer screen distance.
The prescription from your optometrist will not include an ADD power for reading but only spherical or astigmatism correction.
Bifocals
These types of lenses offer a standard lined segment at the bottom of your lens for reading up close, as well as you distance vision correction at the top of your lens. Bifocals allow users to use a single pair of glasses for both distance and near vision; however, they will not be a good solution if intermediate distance, such as the computer distance, is part of your daily tasks.
Trifocals
As the name indicates, this type of lens offers three areas of vision correction. The standard distance correction is located at the top of the lens, while the lower section provides vision for your intermediate and up close reading. In order to do this, the lower section is divided into two segments.
Progressive
Also known as the no-line or invisible line bifocals, the lenses allow you to switch from distance to intermediate to near vision with the greatest of ease. The bifocal segment in your lenses isn't even visible and you can that "sweet spot" of your vision for any distance.
Task Specific Lenses
For a variety of eyewear users whose visual daily tasks are predominantly based around near or intermediate work, standard progressive lenses may not be the perfect solution. Regular progressive lenses may offer a more limited field of view so these task specific lenses would be ideal for office workspace settings. These types of lenses are designed to give you more depth and width of vision in your lens without extra head movements.
Lens Choices
For Any Situation
Polarized
Polarized lenses improve vision by blocking light travelling in a certain direction. This type of light is reflected off as glare from horizontal surfaces such as in lakes, the rear window or hood of a car. Doing so polarized lenses reduce glare and can be very beneficial for fishermen, daytime drivers and golfers. You can expect to be more comfortable with a polarized lens as there will be a reduction in brightness and bothersome glare.
Scratch Resistant
This type of lens coating is applied to not only help reduce fine scratches with common use of eyeglasses, but to also increase the durability of the lens. An anti-scratch coating is not intended to make the lenses completely scratch proof but it does offer superior protection by protecting the lenses and reducing the appearance of scratched that would otherwise be quite visible. It is important to note that an anti-scratch coating does not impact the clarity of your lens and that it is invisible when applied.
Anti-Reflective
This special type of treatment is applied to the lens to reduce the amount of light reflected off the lens. Doing so it allows others to see more of you rather than the reflections of the lens. This type of lens choice allows more light to go through and it therefore improves contrast and overall vision. An anti-reflective coating can also be beneficial in an office setting where the eyes tend to get more tired towards the end of the day because of frequent computer use. Another benefit of the anti-reflective coating is for drivers that experience glare and halos during night time driving. Applying this type of treatment to the lens can reduce these symptoms and improve night time driving.
Blue Light Coating
This type of lens is designed to give you that extra comfort when you are surrounded by various digital devices such as computer monitors, GPS, tablets or cell phones. Our blue light coating helps filter out some of the damaging effects of blue light. Even though blue light itself is a natural phenomenon and it is present in daylight, being overly exposed to it can have a damaging effect to your eyes which then causes eye fatigue , eye strain and even sleeplessness.
Photochromic
Photochromic lenses provide UV-protection built in to your lenses. This allows your lenses to change from clear to dark in the presence of sunlight then back to clear when you are indoors. Upgrading to photochromic lenses eliminates the need to switch to prescription sunglasses once you are outdoors. They are quite convenient as the change from clear to dark is done automatically since it is induced by natural sunlight.
