Lens Coatings:

TINTED LENSES:

  • Your prescription Lenses can be tinted to sunglass depth, which offers a stylish option along with UV eye protection.
  • Other colours that are not listed or different depths of tint can always be ordered by phoning customer service on 0161 7900800

POLARISED LENSES:

  • Cuts out horizontal glare e.g.: water surface glare when fishing and very useful when driving in wet condition
  • Filters out 100% UV light
  • Has a brown or grey tint

TRANSITION LENSES:

  • React to sunlight by getting darker (available in brown or grey)
  • Scratch resistant coating as standard
  • UV filter as standard
  • But, from my personal experience I have found a few of the following characteristics of these transition / photochromic lenses. I think you should know about these first before you proceed:
    1. They do not go as dark as sunglasses.
    2. They do not react very well in the car as the windscreen in the car filters the bulk of the UV and thereby prevents the reactolite lenses working effectively.
    3. There is a residual pale tint on the lenses, even when you are indoors.

THIN AND LIGHT LENSES:

  • Improves the appearance of your glasses
  • Thinner and lighter than normal lenses
  • 1.6 high index lenses are our standard thin lenses
  • For the thinnest lenses available you can order 1.67 and 1.74 high index lenses by phoning customer service on 0161 7900800

ANTIREFLECTIVE COATING:

  • Reduces reflection on lenses
  • Reduces light scatter from car headlamps, very useful for night driving and reduces glare from the computer screen, therefore, very useful for computer users.

UV400 PROTECTIVE COATING:

  • Blocks potentially harmful Ultraviolet rays from directly penetrating the lens through to the eye.
Can relieve eye strain

SCRATCH RESISTANT COATING:

  • Protects the lens surface from potential scratches that may occur by everyday wear and tear. For example, putting glasses in your pocket, which has keys and other objects in them, or by putting glasses face down on the table.
  • It is recommended that you look after your glasses and you should not put your glasses face down or place your glasses in a place where they can be scratched.
  • Unscratched lenses give clearer and more comfortable vision.
