Eyeglass Lenses Made Simpler
When it comes to eyeglasses, your frame isn’t the only one that matters—the lenses also do a lot of work! Here’s a quick and easy guide to common lenses to help you identify what you need:
1. Single Vision Lenses
As the name suggests, these lenses have a single grade throughout. They’re perfect to keep your view sharp at a distance (watching TV or copying notes from a board) or up close (using your phone or reading a book).
2. Progressive Lenses
Compared to bifocals, progressive lenses don’t have lines. They offer a seamless transition between various viewing distances—near, intermediate, and distant. Perfect for those with presbyopia or difficulty seeing at multiple distances.Â
3. Multicoated Lenses
These lenses offer a lot of things in one! They reduce glare, protect your eyes from UV rays, and resist scratches, all while keeping your vision crystal clear.Â
4. Anti-Radiation Lenses
Spend a lot of time on your phone or computer? These blue-light-blocking lenses reduce eye strain from long hours on screens and help protect your eyes from the long-term effects of blue light.
5. Photochromic Lenses
The light-adaptive essential you need. They automatically darken under bright light conditions and return to clear when indoors. They’re hassle-free, yet offer a lot of protection.Â
6. Polarized Lenses
Filter blinding glare and enjoy enhanced colors with these lenses integrated into your frame. They’re perfect for anyone who is always out and about—traveling or working under the sun.Â
