Sunglasses
Sunglasses aren’t just about style – they’re essential in protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. And sunglasses aren’t just for adults. Studies have shown that 85% of the UV damage done to a person’s eyes occurs before they are 18 years old. We can make prescription lenses for just about any sunglass frame. Frame collections from:
Choose from a variety of lens materials for your eyeglasses:
Hard resin (plastic)
Conventional hard resin lenses are half the weight of glass lenses and can be tinted to almost any color and density. Hard resin lenses are more easily scratched than glass but can have an optional scratch protectant applied. Hard resin lenses are more impact resistant than glass.
Lighter, thinner lenses
Modern technology has created lenses that bend light faster, therefore, stronger corrections are thinner than when made in conventional materials. Such lenses are called “high-index” and stronger corrections are more attractive because they are slimmer. High index lenses are lighter in weight than other materials. High index lenses absorb all harmful UV light and can be tinted to any shade or color.
Transitions ® lenses
These are lenses that darken automatically as you go from indoors to outdoors. There are four Transitions brand lenses: Transitions, Transitions Extra Active, Transitions Vantage, and Transitions Drivewear. Ask for a demonstration of Transitions lenses. Transitions lenses are the most popular photochromic lens in America.
Polycarbonate/Trivex
Polycarbonate lenses are the most impact resistant lenses available and are always the lens of choice for young people and active patients. They are high-index and are usually the lightest, most comfortable lenses. They absorb all harmful UV light and can be made with ultra thin edges because of their unique strength.
