Lenses

Eyeglass Frame Selection

We specialize in single vision lenses, lined bifocals, lined trifocals, round bifocals, no-line progressive lenses, and office lenses. We would love to help you figure out which one would best work for you.

Our all-digital, high definition lenses give the best vision possible and protect against harmful blue light. We can give you much sharper vision, better clarity, peripheral vision, contrast sensitivity, and improved glare at night with this technology.

We’re proud to offer the following lens options for most frames:

  • BluTech
  • Shamir Intelligence
  • EyeZen
  • Crizal
  • Transitions
Don’t let your glasses get you down, ask us about your options!

Work and Task Glasses

If you have presbyopia and sit in front of a computer all day, you may want to try the Shamir Computer or Workspace lenses. They are made specifically for computer use, so you don’t have to tip your head to see your screen—no more sore neck!

The bottom area of the lens is to see print up close or the keyboard, and the very top of the lens is to see the clock on the wall or someone walking towards, you for instance. These are not made to see distance, so take them off when you are done at the computer.

Please come in and see us, we’d love to teach you about these lenses.

Active Lifestyle

We have many options to help support your active, outdoor lifestyle.

Polarized lenses

We highly recommend polarized lenses for sunglasses, as these lenses have 100% UV protection and will help with glare from the bright sun outdoors, as well as the blinding glare from snow in the winter. Outdoor enthusiasts benefit the most from polarized sunglasses, because you see so much clearer with the elimination of glare.

These lenses are great for driving, fishing, biking, jogging, golfing, walking, skiing, boating, and just about everything outdoors. For the patients who are very light-sensitive indoors will also appreciate polarized lenses. You can also get the mirror coating for your sunglasses for the sportier look.

Transitions lenses

Transitions lenses are the lenses that turn darker outside, and they come in four different colors, grey, brown, and graphite green, as well as XTRActive grey. These also have 100% UV protection. Transitions lenses reduce glare and enhance contrast while minimizing eye strain and fatigue.

They adjust automatically, you may not even notice the lenses changing. They do not work well behind the car windshield though, since windshields also block UV rays, so therefore you may want to consider sunglasses as a second pair for driving. Transitions lenses are available in single vision, bifocal, trifocal, and no line progressives.

We have non-prescription sunglasses in polarized and non-polarized lenses and we have bifocal sunglass readers. We sell the brand name “Fitovers” that are polarized sunglasses that are made to be worn over your clear glasses or you can wear them like sunglasses. We have a wide selection of polarized clip-on and we carry ophthalmic frames that have a magnetic clip-on.

Non-glare coatings

There are different coatings that can be applied to your lenses. Crizal is the brand that we like to use as it reduces glare from nighttime driving, overhead lighting, etc. overall it just helps you see things sharper and clearer as it lets more light in, and as an added plus there is a scratch coating built-in. For the patients that are light-sensitive, this would not be something for you.

To keep your lenses from scratches, always put them in a protective case when you are not wearing them. Never clean your lenses without rinsing them with a cleaning solution or water first and dry them with a microfiber cloth or cleaning cloth, never use any paper towel, Kleenex, or napkin, as these can scratch your lenses.
