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.

Progressive (no-line bifocals)

  • Allow your eyes to make a smooth, gradual transition when you change your focus from near to intermediate to far vision
  • Eliminate the line that creates an abrupt change from near to far vision

Anti-reflective/scratch coatings

  • Reduces glare and reflections that cause eye fatigue so your eyes feel better
  • Show off your eyes since there are no distracting reflections
  • Scratch-resistant on both sides of the lens to keep your vision clear

High Index Lenses

  • Sharper vision and better optics with a aspheric option
