Strength of prescription<\/h2>\n
In general, the higher your prescription is the thicker and heavier your lenses are.\u00a0 If you have a higher prescription you may want to consider paying a little extra to thin your lenses to make them lighter and more comfortable.\u00a0 Thinner lenses can also improve your appearance when wearing your glasses as thicker lenses may make your eyes appear distorted.\u00a0 Discover the different types of thin and light lenses we offer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s very important to think about your lifestyle carefully before selecting the lenses for your glasses.\u00a0 Your glasses are likely to be on your face for such a large portion of everyday that it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re getting the best quality vision and comfort as possible from them.\u00a0 Certain lifestyles will get more benefit from certain lenses than others.<\/p>\n Active\/Outdoor<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n An active or outdoor lifestyle will benefit from tougher, durable, scratch-resistant lenses that will withstand the elements and a few knocks and bumps.\u00a0 Our anti-reflective coating will also give you clearer vision when spending time outdoors in bright sunlight as well as being effective at repelling water and grease.

For extra bright days with lots of glare, polarised lenses are a great option, for more information on them click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Computers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Office workers and those who use computers for long periods of time will also have clearer and more comfortable vision when opting for an anti-reflective coating.\u00a0 You may also want to consider a lens that filters out the blue light that is emitted from backlit digital devices. Prolonged exposure to artificial blue light can cause sleep disruption, eye strain and headaches. Find out more about blue light and our blue light lens filters here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, budget. Adding extra lens options onto your order will make the outlay for your glasses more expensive but may end up cheaper in the long-run.\u00a0 If you have an active lifestyle and don\u2019t pay for tougher lenses your glasses may not last as long and need replacing sooner.\u00a0 If you have multiple sight problems to correct then the price of two pairs of frames and lenses may end up more expensive than simply opting for bifocal or progressive lenses in the one pair of frames that you love.\u00a0 Try to consider your long term budget and the benefits of spending a little more now to get a longer lasting, higher quality pair of glasses.<\/p>\nLifestyle<\/h2>\n
