Single Vision Lenses

All our frame prices include basic scratch resistant single vision lenses as standard. These lenses are perfect for helping you see either far away or close up. Single Vision lenses are usually prescribed to help with either longsightedness or shortsightedness as they correct your vision for one distance. Single vision lenses can also correct for astigmatism.

Myopia

Known as shortsightedness. This occurs when light falls in front of the retina and makes distant objects appear blurry. Concave lenses are prescribed to allow light to fall onto the retina and produce a clear image. Your prescription will show a 'minus' sign to indicate short-sightedness.

Hypermetropia

Known as longsightedness. This occurs when light falls behind the retina and makes close up objects appear blurry, but sometimes distant objects may be blurry too. Concave lenses are prescribed to allow light to fall onto the retina and produce a clear image. Your prescription will show a 'plus' sign to indicate longsightedness.

Astigmatism

Caused by the cornea or crystalline lens being curved unequally so the light falls at different points within in the eye. Astigmatism can occur alongside myopia or hypermetropia, and is corrected with a cylindrical lens. The 'cyl' in your prescription indicates your level of astigmatism.

Presbyopia

This usually happens in our mid-forties. The lens within your eye loses its ability to change shape and focus on objects close up, so requires additional positive power to assist. Single vision lenses or multifocal lenses may be dispensed. Your optician can advise you on the most suitable option.

Lens Treatments

Tints and UV Filters

Protect your eyes all year round from unwanted brightness and harmful UV. Whether you use your glasses for sports, driving, or as a fashion accessory, you can choose from a wide range of solid tints, graduated tints or mirrored lenses to enhance your lifestyle as well as your look. Find out more here.

Polarised

Unlike ordinary tints, polarised lenses cut out bothersome glare reflected from horizontal surfaces such as water, snow and roads.This leaves you with improved vision and comfort. They are ideal for driving, watersports and fishing. Find out more here.

Crizal coatings provide glare reduction by eliminating reflections on the surface of your lenses. They are available in a number of options to help with night driving glare, blue light from your computer screen or a top quality all-round Sapphire coating. Most Crizal coatings offer an excellent two year scratch resistance guarantee.

Thin and Light Lenses

Choosing high index materials where appropriate means that your lenses can be made thinner, lighter and more impact resistant, resulting in improved comfort and appearance.

Transitions are the perfect solution for those who don’t want to switch between their everyday spectacles and sunglasses. “Automatically adapting to changing light, Transitions lenses darken when outdoors and return back to clear when indoors.”

There are now many colour options available, and the introduction of Transitions XTRActive allows them to work behind a car windscreen. We also offer polarised Transitions XTRActive lenses.

Occupational Lenses

Occupational lenses are used for near and intermediate vision with less distortion than a varifocal. They are usually suggested for people who work in an office type environment as they help improve posture when on screens and reduce eye fatigue. This lenses can be perfectly paired with the Crizal Prevencia coating.

Varifocal Lenses

Progressive lenses, or Varifocals are usually recommended for those patients with presbyopia. This is a natural condition where the lens in your eye loses its ability to focus on objects close up and so requires additional positive lens power to see clearly. Varifocals are a more convenient option as they allow multiple areas of focus within one lens to save having to swap between multiple pairs.
