While our Single Vision 'Basic' (1.5 index) lenses are available free of charge*, our Thin and Light (1.56) lenses enhance the appearance by up to 25% in comparison with our Basic or Regular lenses as well as incorporating an Anti-Reflective Coating, anti-smudge, dust repellent and water repellent treatments as standard - Available for just £12.
Here are some further details about the coatings we currently offer on our own branded lenses:-
Anti-Reflection - Clear reflection free vision
Eliminating surface reflections on the lenses increases the light transmission through the lenses providing you with clear defined vision night or day.
Lenses appear thin and almost non existent, making your eyes look more natural Ideal for computer use and night time driving, to find out more click here.
Anti Smudge & EMR Treatment
Thanks to recent advance in the production of lens coatings, the surface of the finished lens is absolutely smooth, this means impurities can no longer stick to the surface giving you a clearer vision with enhanced clarity, to find out more click here.
UV Protection**
UVC: These rays are filtered out by our ozone layer which surrounds the earth so are not of concern to us
UVB: These rays are accountable for sunburn
UVA: These rays are possibly the most harmful, causing chronic damage to the eye, especially low dose exposure over a long period of time.
When selecting this additional coating you will be getting the maximum protection you require, to find out more click here.
Scratch Resistance
Unfortunately no lens material will be scratch proof, they would have to made of solid diamond to be completely scratch resistant! Nevertheless adding a Scratch-Resistant coating will extend the life of the lens preventing the small scratches that occur through day to day handling and cleaning. A scratch free lens means clearer vision, to find out more click here.
