Lens Types Single Vision – this lens is available in all materials and can be used for distance or near vision correction. This lens will not provide both distance and near vision in patients over age 40.    Bifocals – provide both far (driving) and near (reading a book) correction in one lens. One visible line is present separating the two segments.   Trifocals – provide far (driving), intermediate (computer), and near (reading a book) correction in one lens. Two visible lines are present separating the three segments.   Progressive/Multifocal Lenses - these modern lenses provide the benefit of clear distance and reading vision like bifocals, but they add the feature of continuous clear vision at all distances, including mid-range (computer). People also prefer progressive because they look like single vision lenses (no lines). They are becoming the lens of choice for bifocal and trifocal wearers because they provide good all-around vision. While these lenses provide multiple focusing ranges (far to near) they have less horizontal range of clear vision compared to standard bi/trifocals.

Lens Treatments UV Protection- The sun’s ultra-violet rays pose potential harm to your eyes. UV protection on lenses accomplishes the same thing as sunscreen lotion on your skin (it shields your eyes from harmful ultra-violet rays). Plastic and glass lenses may require UV coating, while high-index and polycarbonate lenses provide UV protection inherently in the lens material.   Scratch-resistance coatings-Recommended to protect lenses from everyday wear-and-tear. Some materials, such as polycarbonate, high-index lenses, and several new plastic lens designs include scratch protection.   Anti-reflection-Most dispensers suggest anti-reflective, or A-R, lenses to help reduce eye fatigue in all situations, particularly while viewing computer screens and driving at night. In addition to enhancing vision by removing distracting reflections, A-R lenses are cosmetically desirable, as the wearer’s eyes are clearly visible behind the lenses.   Polarized lenses- Are the top pick for eliminating glare. Skiers, fishermen, hunters, and bikers are a few who benefit from polarized lens’ glare-cutting properties. Any surface can create glare in sunlight, including water, sand, snow, windows, vehicles and buildings. Polarization eases eye stress and fatigue in the sun and comes in several colors and density options.

Tinted lenses- The majority of lenses can be tinted from light to very dark. Tints for sun lenses are usually medium to dark shades and can be solid through the whole lens or gradient (darker on top fading to lighter or clear at the bottom of the lens). Tints also come in a rainbow of color options.   Mirrored lenses- Not only do they look cool, they are cool. Mirrored coatings provide a reflective surface that makes the eye virtually invisible to viewers, while keeping the wearer’s eyes protected from glare and heat. Mirrors come in a variety of colors to enhance tints and visual performance.   Photochromic lenses- Sometimes called “comfort” lenses, photochromic lenses darken and lighten according to light exposure. If the wearer is in the sun, photochromics darken, if indoors, the lenses are light. Photochromic lenses are available in virtually all lens materials and lens designs.
