Lenses

Choosing the right type of lens for your spectacles can be as important as choosing your frame style. We will help you choose from the vast array of modern lens types that will ensure your spectacles fit in with your life style and ensuring that your spectacles feel as natural as possible.

 

 

Thin lenses

With the aid of the latest advance in lens manufacturing techniques we are able to produce much thinner lenses. This has a great advantage in decreasing the weight of your spectacles significantly, even for higher power lenses. Essilor Stylis ®1.67 is the most recent release and is even suitable for rimless frames.

Varifocal lenses from Varilux

Varilux, the original varifocal lens, has over 100 million wearers, making it the most widely prescribed varifocal lens in the world. Varilux lenses have three main focal areas blended into one, so you get effortless sharp vision at every distance from near to far and in-between

Anti-reflection coatings

Strong spectacle lenses suffer from multiple surface reflections which can reduce lens performance. Anti-reflective finishes decrease these reflections. They also permit the wearer’s eyes to be seen more easily improving the appearance of the spectacles.

Multifocal lenses

If you find that you are having to swap glasses or look over your reading glasses to see things that are further away then varifocal lenses are for you. Varifocal lenses from Varilux have over 100 million wearers, making it the most popular varifocal lens
in the world. There are three types of lenses; the latest is the Panamic® with the ability to give you a wider field of view meaning that you should always have good, sharp vision straight ahead and over a wide area at any distance.

Transitions lenses

These are the latest generation of photo-reactive lenses that go from clear to dark according to the brightness of the light. This means that your spectacles will give you the same protection in bright sunlight as a pair of sunglasses without the need to change glasses when you go indoors again. Transitions NG lenses can also be treated with an anti-reflection coating, further enhancing their performance.

Prescription sunglasses

Most spectacle prescriptions can be made up as dedicated sunglasses. These permanently dark tinted lenses are ideal for holidays in the sun and may also be of benefit at other times. You can also have these fitted to a variety of specialist sports eyewear
