Polycarbonate lenses are not your traditional plastic lens. They are thinner and lighter to help improve the comfort of your glasses. They also give 100% UV protection and they are up to 10 times more shatter and impact-resistant. We highly recommend polycarbonate lenses for safety glasses, sports eyewear and children. The lightweight, comfort, UV protection and impact resistance makes polycarbonate lenses the obvious choice.

Plastic lenses allow excellent compatibility with scratch-resistant coating, anti-reflective coating and tinting applications.

Glass lenses are highly scratch resistant and less susceptible to extreme temperatures.

Ultraviolet rays can not only damage your skin, they can also damage your eyes. An ultraviolet coating on your eyeglass lenses will block the UV rays from damaging your eyes. This can help prevent cataracts, cancer of the skin around the eyes, and long-term eye damage, such as macular degeneration of the retina.

Although no lens is completely scratch proof, we can add a scratch resistant coating to reduce the potential scratches on your lenses. We also recommend that while not wearing your eyewear, you keep them safe in a cushioned case and also clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth and cleaning solution. To prevent scratching while cleaning, always wet the lens before wiping, and never use paper products.

An anti-reflective coating can also be added to your lenses to help eliminate reflections from lighting, computer screens, water and other reflective materials. An anti-reflective coating can help make vision through your glasses clearer, sharper and better at night, as well as help reduce eyestrain and eye fatigue issues. We offer the best anti reflective coating in the industry which comes with a two year warranty.

Photochromic lenses will lighten and darken depending on the availability of ultraviolet light. Photochromic lenses are best for comfort and are not a substitute for safety sunglasses. Direct sunlight and UV rays trigger the photocromic lens to get dark, so they will not change in the car, since all windshields come with a UV blocker.

A colored tint will permanently tint the lenses of your glasses. Plastic, polycarbonate, high index, and Trivex lenses can be tinted to practically any color you want, although a lighter tint is primarily to reduce glare form fluorescent lighting, while a darker tint is for use in sunglasses.

Polarized lenses will reduce glare through special polarized filters and also provide maximum UV protection. Polarized lenses are the ultimate in visual clarity and depth perception when faced with reflective materials such as sun, water, vehicles and snow.

Single vision lenses are prescribed for one field of vision. Single vision lenses have the same prescription strength throughout the whole lens and can either be used for correcting distance or near vision.

A bifocal lens is used for distance and near vision. The upper portion of the lens will convey the distance prescription, while a lower window conveys the reading portion.

Trifocal is used for distance and near vision, but it also has an intermediate portion, used for computer work, or anything else done at an arm’s length.

Progressive lenses are the most functional of the lenses. Progressive lenses convey continuous vision without the use of traditional windows. This lens offers a smooth transition from distance, to intermediate, to near, without any visual jumps or tell-tale lines.
