Anti-Glare Lenses

For those who want to enjoy the very best, unhindered vision, we would recommend our anti-glare lenses (also referred to as anti-reflective). This additional treatment will almost eliminate reflections from all lens surfaces, to help avoid annoying glare and distractions, especially in low light conditions, for example when driving at night, or for those who use the computer or conduct work in artificial light. The coating ensures that the maximum available light can enter your eyes, and comes recommended as our premium option.

Our Anti-Glare lenses are unique because they come with a ten layer coating and a 2 year warranty. Even better, they also come with an anti-scratch coating as well.


Anti-Scratch Lenses

An anti-scratch or scratch-resistant coating is a film or coating that can be applied to optical surfaces, such as the faces of a lens or photographic film. The coating does not interfere with how the lenses function and does not affect vision, but creates a permanent bond with the lens that reduces the appearance of hairline scratches which is common to spectacle lenses. Though an anti-scratch coating is not 100% scratch-proof, it helps to prevent minor scratches that can easily happen to a regular lens. These minor scratches can damage the surface of the lens and impair vision. An anti-scratch coating acts as a protective layer thus making the lenses more durable.

Hi-Index Lenses

People who have a prescription equivalent to or higher than +/-3.00D may find that their spectacles feel a lot heavier than they would prefer. This is normally as a result of the thickness of their lenses. Heavier spectacles can be very uncomfortable as they can pinch on the nose or leave line marks on the side of the head. This can be overcome by upgrading to hi-index lenses which are thinner and lighter than conventional lenses. These come complete with an anti-scratch and anti-reflective coating. Please ask in-store for a lens thickness comparison chart which demonstrated the difference between the lenses.

Transition Lenses

Photochromic lenses, most commonly known as transition lenses, darken on exposure to specific types of light, most commonly ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Once the light source is removed (for example by walking indoors), the lenses will gradually return to their clear state. Photochromic lenses may be made of glass, polycarbonate, or another plastic. These lenses are ideal for people who do not want the hassle of carrying around their sunglasses as well as their spectacles.

Polarised Lenses

For years, boaters and fishermen have used polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from the water that they spend so much time on. In the past few years, however, the benefits of polarized sunglasses have been realized by a variety of other outdoor sports enthusiasts as well as by drivers and general use wearers. The popularity of polarized lenses has increased dramatically, as has availability. Besides boaters, people that benefit most from polarized sunglasses include skiers, golfers, bikers, and joggers, who enjoy a clearer view and elimination of glare. These sunglasses can be used for driving and in fact can reduce the glare that comes off a long, flat surface such as the hood of the car or the surface of a road. Polarized sunglasses can also be used indoors by light-sensitive people such as post-cataract surgery patients or by those exposed to bright light through windows.
