Choosing the Best Lenses for Your Eyes and Lifestyle
Your eyeglass lenses are just as important as your frames. The right lenses safeguard your vision, comfort, and eye health in every situation. We offer innovative coatings and lens technologies so your glasses perform beautifully wherever life takes you.
Enhance and Protect Your Vision with Lens Coatings
There are several coatings available to maintain clear vision, comfort, and lens protection.
Anti-reflective/Anti-glare Coatings
Anti-reflective (AR) or anti-glare coatings reduce reflections and glare, improving vision, comfort, and the appearance of your glasses (you can see your eyes clearly without reflections on the lens). Glare from the sun, screens, and bright lights (especially at night while driving) can strain your eyes, cause headaches, and impair vision. AR coatings and lenses minimize these issues, enhancing vision quality and comfort in such situations.
Scratch Resistant Coatings
Scratches not only affect the appearance of your glasses but also impair vision. A scratch-resistant coating adds an extra layer of protection to minimize scratching. This coating is particularly beneficial for children who may be rough with their eyewear.
Ultraviolet Coatings - Filter Harmful Rays
Ultraviolet (UV) coatings safeguard your eyes from harmful sun rays. They convert standard lenses into UV-blocking lenses, blocking 100% of UV light from entering your eyes. UV exposure is linked to the development of various eye diseases, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and retinal damage.
Anti-fog Coatings
If you live in a cold climate, you may have encountered the frustration of your glasses fogging up when you enter a warm room. This can temporarily impair vision and pose risks, especially while driving. Anti-fog coatings eliminate this issue, ensuring a smooth transition from cold to warm environments.
Lens Options Available at All Family Vision Care
You may want to use an upgraded lens to improve your glasses' look, strength, or functionality.
High Index Lenses
High-index lenses have a higher refractive index, which means they reflect more light than standard prescription lenses. What this means for you, the consumer, is that they can be made thinner and lighter than traditional lenses. High-index lenses are particularly popular with those who need a high prescription, as they avoid thick lenses, providing comfort and a smoother look, but at a higher price tag.
Trivex or Polycarbonate Lenses
Trivex or polycarbonate lenses are impact-resistant lenses - an excellent choice for sports and safety eyewear, as well as standard sunglasses and eyeglasses for active individuals or kids. These lenses also offer full UV protection and are lightweight for optimal comfort.
Polychromatic Lenses
Polychromatic lenses are made with special technology that turns them into sunglasses when exposed to sunlight. The lenses darken automatically when you go outside and return to normal when you go back indoors. Polychromatic lenses can come in a variety of tint colors and are great when you need prescription sunglasses but don't want to carry around or pay for another pair.
Aspheric Lenses
Aspheric lenses use advanced technology to create a slimmer, flatter, and lighter lens than standard prescription lenses. While aspheric lenses can improve the appearance of any prescription lens, they are especially beneficial for those who are farsighted, as those lenses tend to bulge out in the middle.
