Anytime you visit the eye doctor and talk about your lens options, you may get over whelmed by the amount of information that is presented to you. This guide will help you have a better understanding of the features and benefits of different lens options and who they are recommended for.
*Anti-reflective reduces glare, makes the lenses seem "invisible" and eliminates halos and ghost like images in your lenses. It is recommended for night driving, computer users, high index wearers, seniors, refractive surgery patients and public speakers.
*High index plastic material makes lenses thinner, lighter and scratch resistant. They are recommended for people with medium to high powered prescriptions that usually have thick lenses.
*Photochromic lenses (transitions) block UV rays, and automatically darkens and lightens when exposed to UV or sun light. Recommended for people with light sensitivity, children, outdoor activities.
*Polarized eliminates all types of glare, enhances contrast, and provides maximum UV protection. Recommended for driving in the sun and outdoor activities.
*Trivex or polycarbonate lenses are impact resistant, scratch resistant, thinner and lighter. Recommended for children, sports enthusiasts and safety jobs. Trivex is more impact resistant than polycarbonate.
*Progressive lenses provide a more natural vision at all distances in comparison to lined bifocals. Recommended for the 40 and over age range.
