• Single-Vision Lenses Great all-purpose glasses for simple prescriptions. Popular choice for single-usage or occupational glasses (computer glasses, reading glasses). • Flat-Top Bifocals Good for close-up work. Offers variable bifocal widths to accommodate many close-up jobs. Available in glass or plastic. • Specialty Flat-Top Bifocals Occupational with seg at top and bottom. Golf glasses with seg placed out of the way. • Trifocals Added lens segments provide clear vision close-up, far away and in-between. Facilitates all types of work. • Computer Lenses Clear, uninterrupted vision from reading distance up to ten feet. Mid-range area is as large as the near vision range. • Progressive Bifocals Progressive (no-line) lenses offer all the benefits of bifocals plus the cosmetic appearance of single-vision lenses. They provide clear vision close-up, at a distance and at arms length. • Plastic Lenses Stronger than glass and half the weight. Maximum comfort and durability. Can be tinted to almost any color and density. • Lighter, Thinner Lenses (Hi-Index) Revolutionary high-index lens material offers stronger prescriptions in a thinner, lighter lens. No more “coke-bottle” lenses! Provides comfort and UV protection • Lenses that Darken (Transition or Driveware) Photosensitive lenses tint automatically, adjusting to the intensity of light passing through the lenses. Tint darkens outdoors and lightens inside. Provides UV protection. Available in glass or plastic. • Polycarbonate Lenses The most impact-resistant material. Shatterproof and lightweight. Good for the active child or athlete. Provides UV protection. • Glass Lenses Durable, scratch-resistant material. Provides superior optics. • High Index, Aspheric Lenses The thinnest, lightest, and flattest lens available. Makes eyes look more natural—less magnified in plus powers. • Tinting Blocks transmittance of light waves, reducing glare and strain. • UV-400 Blocks UVA, UVB, UVC bands of ultraviolet light waves. Effecting in reducing the risk of cataract development. Sources include fluorescent lighting as well as natural lights. • Scratch Coat (TD2)While not making plastic, polycarbonate, or high index lenses “scratch proof”, it will harden the surface making them less susceptible to scratching from every day wear. Our warranty will replace scratched lenses as required within two years at no charge with the purchase of this coating • Anti-Reflective (Sharpview, Crizal Alize, Crizal Alize Clear Guard) Improves vision in all lighting conditions by allowing more light to reach the eye. Anti-Reflective eliminates reflection while dramatically improving night vision/ night driving and easing fatigue from computer work or reading in harsh light.
