Bifocal lenses
When we reach middle age, we all start to suffer from presbyopia. This very often means that it becomes necessary to have two pairs of spectacles, one for distance vision and the other for close work. Due to life styles, work and hobbies, it is not always convenient to keep changing spectacles.
Bifocals combine both distance and reading prescriptions into one lens. They have a dividing line to make the transition from distance into reading.
Varifocal lenses
Varifocals, or progressive lenses as they are sometimes referred to, are similar in concept to bifocals.
They combine both distance and reading prescriptions into one lens. Unlike bifocals they do not have a dividing line as the prescription is blended. This blending not only enhances the focusing range of your prescription but, without a dividing line, improves the appearance of the spectacles.
Anti-reflection lenses
Originally developed for cameras and binoculars, this technology is now widely available to improve the performance and appearance of spectacle lenses.
The lens looks almost invisible and improves the appearance of your spectacles. The coating improves your vision, particularly when using a computer or driving at night. Once you have seen and enjoyed the benefits of an anti-reflection coating, you will never be without it again!
Thinner lenses
The advancement in materials and lens design has meant that we can now produce lenses that are up to 45% thinner than standard lenses.
These lenses are lighter and more comfortable to wear and the appearance is improved, especially if combined with an anti-reflection coating.
Photochromic lenses
Photochromic lenses adapt to different light conditions, giving you comfortable vision both indoors and outside. Please ask for the latest information and availability
