Ask us about specialty lenses
While designer frames undoubtedly contribute to an attractive and fashionable appearance, the true essence of optimal vision lies within the lenses of your eyeglasses. At our practice, we offer a comprehensive range of lens options to cater to diverse visual needs and lifestyle preferences.
Our lens selection encompasses lightweight materials for enhanced comfort, non-glare coatings for reduced eye strain, and progressive lenses that seamlessly correct presbyopia without unsightly lines. Additionally, we provide computer-use designs tailored for prolonged digital interactions and photochromic lenses that offer convenient sun protection when activated by UV light exposure. Furthermore, we prioritize crisp and clear optics by utilizing advanced lens materials, ensuring you experience not only optimal vision but also cosmetically pleasing eyewear.
Our philosophy when prescribing eyeglasses is rooted in educating our patients on the differences in lens design and quality. We believe that superior quality lenses are typically available through large, specialized laboratories and cannot be produced within a couple of hours. While some commercial stores offer lenses in an expedited timeframe, it is important to understand that these options may not provide the highest quality lenses available on the market. At our practice, we prioritize excellence and partner with reputable large-scale labs to ensure our patients receive the best quality lenses. While this process may require a longer wait time, we firmly believe that the exceptional visual clarity and performance afforded by these lenses are well worth the investment.
Computer lenses
In our increasingly digital world, many individuals spend a significant portion of their day in front of computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Prolonged exposure to the blue light emitted by these digital screens can lead to eye strain, headaches, and disruptions to the natural sleep cycle. To combat these issues, our practice offers specialized computer lenses designed to filter out harmful blue light while optimizing visual clarity for digital devices. These advanced lenses incorporate a unique coating or tint that selectively blocks the blue-violet portion of the visible light spectrum, reducing the amount of blue light that reaches the eyes. By mitigating blue light exposure, computer lenses can alleviate symptoms of digital eye strain, enhance visual comfort during extended screen time, and promote better sleep patterns. Whether for work, study, or leisure, computer lenses provide a practical solution for those seeking to protect their eyes from the potential risks associated with excessive blue light exposure.
Anti-Reflective Coatings: Enhancing Visual Clarity and Cosmetic Appeal
Anti-reflective coatings, also known as anti-glare coatings, are a valuable addition to eyeglass lenses that offer both functional and aesthetic benefits. At our practice, we recommend Crizal anti-reflection lenses to help our patients see and look their best.
These advanced coatings consist of precisely engineered layers of filters applied to the front and back surfaces of the lenses. Rather than allowing light to bounce back as reflections, these filters facilitate the transmission of light through the lenses, ensuring optimal visual clarity.
Anti-reflective coatings provide several key advantages. First, their durable and easy-to-clean properties ensure long-lasting performance and low maintenance. Additionally, they resist surface static, preventing the accumulation of dust and debris that can impair vision.
Notably, the most significant feature of anti-reflective coatings is their ability to increase the amount of light passing through the lenses. This enhancement in light transmission results in sharper, clearer, and more vibrant visual experiences, allowing you to perceive the world around you with exceptional clarity.
Furthermore, anti-reflective coatings contribute to a more aesthetically pleasing appearance by minimizing reflections on the lens surfaces. This effect creates an almost invisible appearance, seamlessly integrating your eyeglasses with your overall style and wardrobe choices.
At our practice, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in lens technology, ensuring they not only enjoy optimal visual performance but also experience enhanced cosmetic appeal with their eyewear.
No-line progressive lenses
Progressive lenses offer a seamless solution for those requiring vision correction for multiple distances, eliminating the need for bifocal or trifocal lenses with visible lines. Our practice provides advanced no-line progressive lenses that leverage innovative design and manufacturing techniques to create a smooth transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision zones. These lenses incorporate carefully calculated curves and gradually increasing optical power, allowing wearers to shift their focus naturally without encountering disruptive lines or segments.
No-line progressive lenses provide a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing appearance while delivering the functional benefits of correcting presbyopia, the age-related loss of near vision. With these lenses, patients can seamlessly transition from viewing distant objects to reading or working on a computer, without the visual distortions or “image jump” sometimes experienced with traditional lined multifocal lenses. This technology offers a more natural and comfortable visual experience, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a discreet and versatile solution for their evolving visual needs.
Photochromic lenses (Transition lenses)
Transition lenses provide the ultimate in convenience and versatility by automatically adapting to changing light conditions. These photochromic lenses intelligently darken when exposed to UV rays from sunlight, effectively transforming into high-performance sunglasses. Conversely, they gradually return to a clear state indoors or in low-light environments, eliminating the need to juggle between separate pairs of eyeglasses and sunglasses.
At the forefront of this technology is the revolutionary Transitions GEN S lens. These advanced lenses represent the culmination of years of research and development, offering unparalleled responsiveness, darkness, and clarity. Utilizing exclusive photochromic dyes and cutting-edge manufacturing processes, Transitions GEN S lenses provide unsurpassed visual acuity, minimizing eye strain and fatigue throughout the day. Whether you’re driving, working outdoors, or enjoying leisure activities, these exceptional lenses provide optimal visual performance and seamless adaptation to varying light conditions, ensuring your eyes are always protected and comfortable.
Polarized lenses
Polarized lenses are an excellent choice for those seeking superior glare reduction and enhanced visual clarity in bright, reflective environments. These specialized lenses incorporate a unique filter that blocks intense, horizontally polarized light waves, which are the primary cause of disabling glare from surfaces like water, snow, and glass. By selectively filtering out this type of polarized light, polarized lenses effectively eliminate squint-inducing glare and reduce eye strain, making them an ideal solution for activities such as driving, boating, fishing, and outdoor sports.
In addition to glare reduction, polarized lenses offer improved contrast and color perception by minimizing scattered light reflections. This results in crisper, more vivid visuals, allowing you to appreciate the true vibrancy of your surroundings. Whether you’re an avid outdoorsman, a water sports enthusiast, or someone who simply wants to enjoy a comfortable and glare-free visual experience, polarized lenses provide a significant advantage in enhancing your overall visual performance and enjoyment.
