Lens

There are hundreds of types of lens available today. Stop by and we can help you determine what lenses are the best for your lifestyle, your occupation, and your eyes.

Impact-Resistant Lens
Not all lens are created equal, and we have a duty to inform you that impact resistant lens are available. Normal plastic lens are typically covered by your insurance. Plastic lens are not impact resistant and can shatter upon violent contact. We highly recommend polycarbonate or Trivex lens for all frames, especially for rimless, and rimlon(semi-rimless, half-rim) frames. In addition to being impact resistant, polycarbonate/Trivex lens are thinner, lighter, and have 100% ultraviolet(UV) protection. We are required by CA optometry law to dispense only polycarbonate/Trivex lens to patients age 18 or younger.

Lens Options

Anti-Reflective Coating
We highly recommend anti-reflective(AR) coating on every pair of glasses that you own. AR coating is often seen on the surface of camera, binocular, and telescope lens as a colored coating. A lens with AR coating reduces reflection and lens flares, produces less glare, and allows more light to pass through the lens. This is particularly noticeable when driving at night or working in front of a computer monitor. The decreased glare means that wearers often find their eyes are less tired, particularly at the end of the day. Allowing more light to pass through the lens also increases contrast and therefore increases visual acuity.
The benefits of AR coating are well worth it!

Computer Glasses
Do you experience eye strain and blurred vision when you use the computer? Are you leaning closer and closer to see the computer screen? Does your neck become strained from poor posture? If so, you may be experiencing computer vision syndrome(CVS). Most people wear glasses to correct for either distance or near vision. Computer glasses optimizes your vision for the intermediate distance of 20 to 26 inches. With computer glasses, your eyes are more relaxed because it eliminates the need for your eyes to constantly focus and refocus on the pixels on your computer monitor. Add anti-reflective coating to your computer lens and have added benefit of glare reduction.
Get computer glasses for your work, and your eyes will thank you!
