Lens Types

Single vision lenses can be used for seeing in the distance, viewing your computer screen or just reading up close, these lenses will just contain one correction over the whole lens hence the name “Single Vision”

Distance/general use (single vision)

These lenses contain your prescription for seeing in the distance; whether you're walking down the street, driving your car or sitting at home watching TV, you will have your vision corrected over the whole lens area.

Reading/near use (single vision)

Reading spectacles are required when reading or concentrating on material close up. If you look up and across the room while wearing them, everything appears blurred.

Bifocals - Blended Line

These lenses contain two prescriptions, the top part of the lens will be used for your distance vision and the bottom part will be used for reading, so you only ever need one pair of spectacles. These Bi-Focals are a round blended line so making them semi-invisible and therefore less ageing!

Bifocals - D28 Flat Top

These lenses contain two prescriptions, again the top part of the lens will be used for your distance vision and the bottom part will be used for reading, these lenses are in the shape of a D on it’s side, the the bifocal has a flat top and a curved bottom, these are the most common type of bifocal, they are extremely successful as the reading area is very stable.

This type of bifocal is also available in Photo-chromic lenses, Polarised lenses and Super Thin 1.6 index lenses.

Varifocals/MultiFocals/Progressives

These lenses combine three visions all in one lens. The distance and reading portions of the lens blend together with a gradual progression from one to the other, giving a third area of the lens, intermediate vision which allows for clear vision at arms distance, so providing glasses to see in the far, middle and near distance with no dividing lines or segments - just one simple lens for all uses.

Varifocals are available in standard, Photo-chromic, Polarised, Super Thin 1.6 index, Ultra Super Thin 1.67 index and Ultra X Super Thin 1.74 index lenses.

However, varifocals in general are not 100% successful either online or in the High Street, you should understand, there is a risk buying multi-focal lenses online and we cannot offer the after-service of the High Street, but our product is sold at a very competitive rate and we leave the choice to the customer.

They are available in Grey, Brown, Pink and Purple, these all filter 100% of UV light.

Pink and Purple Photo-chromic lenses react to light in the same way as the Grey and Brown lenses, however they are a subtle tint, approximately tinting to 30% absorption when in the Sun.

It is strongly advised that photochromic glasses are not used for night driving or in any dark environment in which critical judgment is required.

Polarised Lenses

Polarising Lenses give the maximum protection against the suns harmful rays, eliminating 99.9% of glare.  This improves vision and comfort making them ideal for driving, providing enhanced ability to perceive contrast and improving depth perception.

Polarising Lenses are available in Brown, Grey and Green, with 85% absorption. Anti-reflection treatment will reduce absorption by approximately 5-10% however we would recommend this coating to reduce surface reflections on the lenses.
