Lens Upgrades

Reflection Free Lenses

Spectacle wearers often see distracting reflections like the ones below. Reflection free lenses provide clearer, sharper vision with greater contrast, but are also more attractive and comfortable to wear. The multi-layer coating can reduce eye fatigue and will also make your lenses more resistant to scratches.

Transitions lenses

Transitions lenses contain patented photochromic dyes which activate – or darken – the lens when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight. When the UV light diminishes, the lenses fade back to clear. As outdoor light conditions change, the level of darkness adjusts, creating the right level of tint and allowing just the right amount of light to reach the eye. This action allows Transitions lenses to help protect your eyes from the light you can see – reducing glare, improving contrast and diminishing eye strain.

 

 

High-Index Lenses

High Index lenses are used as an alternative to standard index lenses (1.5 index) when the required prescription would mean the lenses would be too thick using the standard material.
