Lens Choices

As technology advances so, too, do eyeglass lenses. In the past, eyeglass lenses were made exclusively of glass. Today, most eyeglasses are made of high-tech plastics. These new lenses are lighter, thinner, and more scratch-resistant than glass lenses, and can be treated with a filter to shield your eyes from damaging ultraviolet light.
