Lenses

The optical shop is pleased to offer state-of-the-art prescription lenses at competitive prices.

Do you get glare when driving at night or in rainy weather? Do your eyes feel strained and tired at the computer? Does it bother you when photographs show white glare off your sunglasses? Then anti-glare lenses by Crizal or HOYA might be right for you. These extremely popular lenses are designed to reduce the “halo” effect from oncoming headlights. They also help to reduce eye fatigue that is often felt during computer use, especially under fluorescent lighting.

Transition lenses – lenses that are clear indoors and darken when exposed to UV light – are available in almost every prescription. Please note that most car windshields have a UV filter, which prevent these lenses from darkening while driving, even on the sunniest days. For this reason, patients often get separate sunglasses or clip-ons for driving.

Progressive lenses, also known as “no-line bifocals,” are the most commonly preferred multifocal lenses because they provide clear vision for nearly any distance, including distance, computer and reading. Progressive lens technology has improved dramatically over the past few years. The optical shop is proud to offer the most state-of-the-art progressive brands including Varilux, Zeiss and HOYA, which are digitally manufactured to decrease distortion and provide the widest field of vision.

With more and more people relying on computers, tablets and smartphonesintermediate distance glasses have become very popular. Depending on the prescription and lifestyle requirements, patients can wear either single vision or bifocal computer glasses for optimal intermediate vision. We suggest always using anti-glare coating for computers and tablets to help reduce eye fatigue.
