| A wide range of lenses are available and our optometrists and trained staff will help you understand and decide which lens is best suited for your prescription and lifestyle requirements.
|
|
| Single vision: | Single vision lenses are designed to correct many visual defects such as near vision or distance vision. |
| Bifocals: | Bifocal lenses are a common type of multi-focal lens. The lens is split into two distinctive sections. The upper part is for distance vision and the lower part for near vision. |
| Progressives: | Progressive lenses are the most advanced design. The lens’ power changes gradually from the distance to the reading prescription as you look down through the lens. There is no distinctive line visible on the lens. |

Coatings Different coatings can be applied to your lenses to help in their performance and look. |
|
| Scratch resistant: | Lenses can be treated (front and back) with a clear, hard coating that makes your lenses more resistant to scratches. Whilst lenses are not fully resistant to scratching, this coating does offer better protection than a non-coated lens. |
| Tinted lenses: | There is a wide range of lens tints available depending on your needs. For example, you may require tinting to reduce glare or to enhance cosmetic appearance. |
| UV Treatment: | UV treatment on lenses is available to block the sun’s UV rays from damaging your eyes. Harmful UV rays can cause cataracts, pterygium (a red / fleshy growth on the whites of the eyes) and other eye problems. |
| Anti-reflective Coating: | An anti-reflective coating can be applied to lenses to reduce reflective glare from computer screens and when driving at night. The coating can create clearer vision and make your eyes look more natural. |
| Polarised lenses: | Polarised Lenses lock out virtually all UV rays and help eliminate reflective glare, while increasing visibility. They create a more enhanced and vibrant color perception and reduce eye strain and fatigue, in glary conditions. |
| Transition Lenses: | Transition lenses have a light-sensitive tint that adjusts depending on the level of the sun’s UV rays. They activate rapidly when exposed to outdoor light and then return to a clear lens when indoors. The lenses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection. |
| Drivewear Lenses: | Drivewear lenses are the only polarised photochromic lenses that darken when outside as well as behind the windshield of a car. These lenses react to different weather and light conditions and combined with a high efficiency Polarizer, block blinding glare. |
