Single Vision Rx Lenses
Single vision glasses correct farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism. These lenses have just a single optical prescription correction distributed evenly over the entire surface area of the lens. This is the most common type of vision correction lens.

Progressive Rx Lenses
Progressive lenses provide a smooth transition from distance to near correction in a single lens without a distinct line between correction zones and allowing clear vision at all distances.
Progressive lenses are also referred to as “no-line bifocal lenses” and differs from bi-focal lenses as there is a gradual shift in the prescription instead of a blunt line made in the lens. The very top part of the lens works well for distance. The bottom portion gets progressively stronger ending with the strongest portion at the very bottom for reading. A progressive lens allows the wearer to view all ranges of vision from near to far. Additionally, the lenses look identical to single vision lenses, with no lines for an attractive presentation.
Progressive lenses are not a one-size-fits-all lens and every prescription has a personalized fit. We resource across the market to find just the right lens base structure for each prescription. We then adjust this base design to balance the lens resulting in the most accurate and comfortable vision prescription meeting the exacting requirements of your daily vision needs.
Bifocal Rx Lenses
Multi-focal lenses help you see both near and far within the single lens, correcting near vision in the bottom half and distance correction at the top. PROGRESSIVE LENSES offer a seamless transition between the two zones without a distinctive line. BIFOCALS offer the same near and far correction but with a distinct seam between the two.
Trifocal Rx Lenses
Trifocal lenses are similar to bifocals, except that the two focal areas are separated by a third middle area with intermediate focus correction. This area is used for intermediate vision — roughly at arms’ length like such as working on the computer. This lens type has two blunt segment lines which divide the three different vision correcting segments.
Lens Add-On’s and Options
Lens treatments options add to optical performance and are important to protect your lens surface and vision quality. Some options improve the durability, appearance and the performance of your glasses and help protect your lenses from minor scratches. Other options are available to help reduce the amount of light reflections to improve visibility and protect from light sensitivity.
Lens treated with a scratch-resistant coating have a much harder surface and are far more resistant to scratches from daily use.
Scratch resistant coatings is especially beneficial for children’s vision-wear to increase durability and wear.
Keep in mind, even the best scratch-resistant coating can’t completely protect your lenses from wear and tear, but will greatly reduce most scratches from daily use and cleaning.
Anti-reflective coatings reduce the reflections on your optical lenses and reduces the amount of light going in to your eyes, helping with light sensitive eyes. In addition, anti-reflective coatings reduce glare and make your eyes more visible through the lenses. This is particularly useful when you are wearing glasses in photos.
UV-blocking treatments are like a sunscreen for your vision. The UV coating reduces the amount of harmful UV rays transmitting through the lens and aids in preventing protecting the eyes from sun damage and issues such as cataracts and pterygiums.
Polarized lenses have a special coating that blocks out glare and can make color and detail seem sharper than non-polarized sunglasses. With increase vibrancy and contrast, polarized lenses also reduce eye-strain and are especially optimal for driving in bright sunlight.
Digital devices such as computer and smartphone screens emit blue light known as High Energy Visible (HEV).
This blue light is part of the visible spectrum and has been shown to cause eye strain, headaches, and disruption to the body’s natural melatonin production — the hormone that aids with restful sleep. This HEV light can be problematic for those who work at the computer for long periods of time.
The Blue Light Blocker lens coating filters out about 40% of the blue light emitted by digital devices thus reducing eye strain, headaches and helps improve sleep patterns.

Contacts
Contact lenses are corrective clear plastic disks worn directly on the eye to correct your vision. Contacts are a perfect option for those with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia (vision changes that happen with age
These lenses are usually made from plastic combined with other materials. They hold their shape firmly, yet they let oxygen flow through the lens to your eye.
RGP lenses are especially helpful for people with astigmatism. They provide sharper vision than soft lenses when the cornea is unevenly curved.
Soft contact lense are the most popular contact. The soft contact tends to be more comfortable and has many options to choose from. .
DAILY WEAR: These contacts are worn when you are awake and remove them when you go to sleep. Many are disposable — you wear a new pair of contacts each day. Also available are contacts that last longer and are replaced once a week, every two weeks or every month.
