Lenses

With a huge variety of lenses available, it important that our dispensers find out how you live your life, your occupation and any hobbies/interests you have, so they can give you best recommendation tailored to your requirements.

Our team are here to help you make a decision and suggest which lens designs, materials, treatments and coatings will best meet your needs and budget. Dispensing spectacles involves far more than just taking a few accurate measurements. Our dispensers may ask you several lifestyle related questions to help them gain an understanding of what you require from your spectacles.

Not only can we supply standard single vision lenses but we also provide anti-fatigue lenses. In this digital age, we are continually adjusting between close work and arms length, this in turn can lead to our eyes becoming tired. Anti-fatigue lenses work by giving you a boost towards the bottom of the lens to support your eyes when focussing on close distances. The difference in strength is only small which is why it is still a single vision lens and won’t compromise on your distance vision, patients who wear these lenses often report their eyes feel less tired. They come complete with an anti-reflection coating to help with artificial lighting.

We have a range of lenses available to patients who require a prescription for distance and reading or simply don’t want the inconvenience of taking spectacles on and off. There are several options available ranging from bifocals, occupational lenses or varifocals. Our dispensers are here to help understand what you want from your spectacles and give you the best lens recommendation to suit your requirements.

We now have access to brand new, top of the range bespoke varifocals which not only take into account the typical measurements we use to dispense spectacles but also extra facial, frame and eye tracking measurements to give you a bespoke product of the highest quality, tailor made to you to maximise your visual experience. Ask in a dispenser for more details.

For those drivers out there, we can offer lenses that enhance your vision when driving by improving contrast, reducing glare and better off axis performance. It comes in both a single vision and a varifocal design which matches driver’s visual needs – incorporating a wide distance and intermediate area.

Various coatings are available for your spectacle lenses, most commonly an anti-reflection coating. These coatings are proven to reduce unwanted reflections and ghost images from artificial lighting e.g car headlights and screens etc. The coatings we use are also scratch resistant, smudge repellent, water repellent and dust repellent ensuring ultimate clarity and lens protection.
