Lens Materials & Qualities

There is a variety of different materials, with different traits, commonly used to make lenses. These textiles and traits include:

 

​ Hard resin: This material is more impact-resistant than glass, but comparatively lighter. It is easier to scratch.

​ Polycarbonate: This material is impact-resistant and lighter than others, making it ideal for active patients. It also absorbs UV radiation.

​ Trivex: This material is impact-resistant, durable and provides UV resistance

​ Glass: This material is the most scratch-resistant among the other materials available. But it is a comparatively heavier option and cannot be used in approved safety eyewear.

​ Photochromic: This material protects your eyes as it darkens in the sun. We carry products from a range of brands such as Transitions Vantage, ZEISS, Photofusion, Sensity by Hoya and more.

Lens Designs

In addition to providing multiple materials, there are also different kinds of lens designs, such as:

 

​ Single vision: These lenses function as all-purpose glasses, which can be worn during any activity.

​ Aspheric lenses: These lenses provide an ultra-thin look and are flatter than conventional lenses

​ Flat top bifocals: These lenses offer older style bifocal designs of varying widths. They can be made of any material.

​ Franklin style bifocals: These lenses come in a thicker design and are available in glass, hard resin and photochromic glass.

​ Trifocals: These are a common type of lenses that allow arms-length vision precluded by bifocals. They are available in all materials.

​ Progressives: If you are looking for cosmetically appealing lenses, try progressives. They provide clear vision at all distances and can be made in all materials.

​ Occupational: These lenses address the demanding visual requirements of those in certain jobs who wear bifocals and trifocals.

Treatment Options

Your lenses can be specially treated to match your needs. These options include:

 

​ Scratch-resistant coating: The coating is applied to reduce the likelihood of scratches on the lens.

​ UV protection: An extra coating is applied to protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation.

​ Anti-reflection/glare coatings: These coatings help in reducing eye fatigue and are suitable for night driving. Learn more.

​ Polarized glasses: These coatings are applied on sunglasses and help eliminate reflected glare.
