Lens Options

Glass - The original lens material, glass is not ordered frequently due to its weight and inferior safety protection.        Plastic - At half the weight of glass, plastic can be tinted to almost any color. It is more impact resistant than glass.          High Index Plastic - Thinner and lighter--it is a good choice for higher prescriptions.        Polycarbonate - The most impact resistant material available. It is a good choice for children and active adults. These lenses absorb all harmful UV light and can be made ultra thin due to their strength. These lenses always include a scratch protection coating. They can be tinted.          Photochromatic - Available in glass or lightweight plastic these lenses darken and lighten as one goes inside and outside.        Progressive Addition - Called "no-line" bifocals they provide continuous clear vision at all distances. These are a great improvement to older lined bifocal and trifocal lenses.       Polarized - The best type of sun lens for water activities and daytime driving. The lenses eliminate glare and brightness while protecting the eyes from harmful UV light.       Occupational - There are a variety of lenses that are "task specific" for your profession. Lens Treatments       Scratch Protection Coating - Lightweight plastic lenses can be more easily scratched than glass lenses. This coating has been designed to make lenses more resistant to scratching.       UV Protection - An invisible filter for plastic lenses that protect the eyes from harmful UV light.       AntiReflection Coating - Effective for reducing eye fatigue for computer operators and for driving at night. AR coated lenses enhance vision by removing all distracting reflections and glare. This coating makes your eyeglass lenses look invisible, allowing others to see your eyes without reflections.       Tint - Available in a wide array of colors and shades. A tint can be used to reduce brightness or as a fashion accessory. Tints can be a solid color, gradient color fading to clear, or multiple colors fading into each other.        Mirror Coating - Can be added to sunglass lenses to significantly cut down brightness or prevent others from seeing your eyes.       Edge Polish - A high gloss polish of the edges of lenses to give them a rich finished look.
