Single Vision
Single vision lenses correct for either distance or near but not both. An example of this prescription type would be driving or reading eyeglasses.
Bifocal
Bifocal lenses are for those who have trouble seeing at both near and far. This allows the wearer to have distance and near correction in one lens. This prescription type is available in many segment types (Lined bi-focal/Lined Tri-focals) in assorted segment depths.
Progressive
Progressive lenses are also used to correct distance and near needs. This lens provides a seamless, line- less alternative for those having trouble seeing near and far. Progressive lenses offer the wearer a range which provides sharp vision at an intermediate range as well.
Hoya Tact Computer Lens
The Hoya Tact computer lenses are recommended for those who use the computer or like devices for a prolonged length of time. This lens helps reduce Computer Lens Syndrome, which consist of headaches, eyestrain, pain or aches in the neck and back. This lens type provides a vast intermediate range as well as a moderate distance and near portion.
Lens Materials
Trivex
Trivex is an impact resistant urethane-based monomer lens option that provides crisp and clear images when wearing eyeglasses. This lens material is recommended for children and adults, in single vision to progressive prescriptions.
Hi-Index
Hi-Index lenses are a thinner alternative lens material. This material is ideal for high prescriptions. High index lenses are available in 1.60 to 1.74 indexes, varying in lens types, prescriptions, and treatments.
Lens Treatments
Anti-glare treatments enhance your lenses by providing clearer, sharper vision whether at night by reducing the halo around lights or by reducing blue light from electronics. This lens treatment heightens the appearance of your eye wear by producing virtually reflection-free lenses. Premium anti- reflective adds to the scratch resistance of lenses and ease of keeping lenses smudge-free.
Photochromic
Photochromic lenses change color according to light conditions. These lenses can darken when exposed to UV light whether it is in direct sunlight or overcast settings. Photochromatics are a convenient alternative for UV protection. This lens treatment is available in an array of lens materials also in conjunction with other lens treatments.
Polarized
Polarized lenses offer the best coverage for UVA/UVB protection. This lens treatment offers a variety of lens colors from true gray to copper, allowing the best contrast in an array of lighting conditions.
