TYPES OF LENSES

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate lenses are 30% lighter than traditional plastic lenses. It is more impact resistant. More over it gives you 100% protection from harmful UVA & UVB rays. It is ideal glass for kids and rimless frames.

High-Index Lenses

A high-index lens is a lens that has a higher 'index' of refraction. This means it has a greater ability to bend light rays to provide clear vision for people with stronger prescriptions.

A high-index lens is a good option for people who have strong prescriptions for myopia-commonly called 'nearsightedness' due to a difficulty in focusing on far objects. A high-index lens can bend light rays more, while using less material in lenses created for both nearsighted and farsighted people (hyperopia).

Aspheric Lenses

Aspheric lenses are often high-index lenses as well and are often much thinner and lighter than conventional lenses. The shape of these lenses work well for people who have high hyperopia (farsightedness).

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses can be used in sunglasses to lessen glare; they cannot be used with regular prescription lenses in regular glasses.

Anti-reflection

Decreases reflections on lens surface and cosmetically good.Eliminate ghost images .Decreased glare in the night driving when compared to a lens without coating .Increased contrast when compared to uncoated lenses.

Bi-Focal

Has only two optical powers,one sectioned inside the other.Aesthetically displeasing and reveals your age.

Progressive Lenses

Has a continous gradient og different corrective powers.Allows for one pair of glasses,for comfortable vision for any distance.

Photo Chromatic Lenses

Photochromic lenses change from light to dark depending on the amount of ultraviolet light they are exposed to. Early photochromics were strictly glass lenses, but today, you can choose from regular plastic, polycarbonate and high-index glass and plastic.

Transitions

Transitions lenses are available for nearly every lens design, refractive index, and prescription. Performance features include advanced variable-tint technology that allows rapid darkening when you go outside (and rapid return to clear when you go in), and 100 percent UV protection. They come in regular, lightweight plastic materials as well as in high-index plastic and polycarbonate.
