Why wear Photochromic Lenses ?

"Photochromic lenses offer great flexibility to anyone needing prescription eye wear, protecting the eyes indoors and out at all times. They are made in your normal prescription so your spectacles will correct your vision and give UV protection. Photochromic lenses meet all your various needs by combining the benefits of prescription spectacles / and sunglasses."

High-index and aspheric lenses

"If you need high-powered lenses you can improve the weight or appearance of your glasses with special lens materials and designs. High-index lens materials and aspheric designs mean that lenses can now be made thinner, lighter and better looking than traditional lens types. High-index materials and aspheric lens design make lenses for short sight and long sight thinner and allows more optimal vision through the lens area away from the centre of the lens"

Prescription Sunglasses

"Whatever your prescription, it is important to protect the eyes against excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Protection is needed to avoid reflected light from sand and snow or if you spend long periods outdoors, particularly in the summer. Prescription sunglasses can be made with single-vision, bifocal or varifocal designs to offer the same standard of protection as non-prescription sunglasses. Only costs an extra £10 (online price, may cost a lot more on the high street) for having the sunglass tint put on the glasses, worth while in the long term"

Scratch-resistant / hard coating

"Plastic lenses are lighter than traditional glass lenses but they scratch more easily. Scratched lenses can be irritating for the wearer and look unsightly. Scratch-resistant coatings are available to protect against damage and prolong lens life."

Anti-Reflection Coating

"Spectacle lenses can be provided with anti-reflection coatings which virtually eliminate distracting reflections off the lens surfaces. Reducing reflected light is particularly helpful for computer users and for night driving. Anti-reflection coatings also improve the cosmetic appearance of your glasses and can make thick lenses look thinner."

Bifocal Lenses

"Bifocal lenses contain two optical corrections with a distinct dividing line between the two parts. The most common use of bifocals is for people who have become presbyopic and need a different prescription for close work. The upper part of the lens corrects distance vision and the lower half is for near vision. Trifocals are also available that have three sections and incorporate a correction for intermediate vision. Bifocals and trifocals come in a range of designs. Bifocals or varifocals are more commonly prescribed than trifocals"
