All lens options
Lens options,explained.
Single vision
One prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or computer use.
Good for: Most first-time wearers, and anyone who needs correction for either near or far.
Progressive / multifocal
A smooth change in power from distance at the top to reading at the bottom, with no visible line.
Good for: People who need reading help as well as distance correction, often from their 40s onwards.
High-index lenses
Denser lens materials that bend light more efficiently, so the lens can be thinner.
Good for: Stronger prescriptions, and anyone wanting a slimmer lens edge.
Anti-reflective coating
A coating that reduces reflections on the front and back of the lens.
Good for: Almost everyone, especially night drivers and screen users.
Photochromic lenses
Lenses that darken in UV light and clear again indoors.
Good for: People who go in and out often and want sun comfort without switching glasses. They may darken less behind a car windscreen.
Blue-light filtering
A coating or material that filters part of the blue-violet light from screens and lighting.
Good for: Heavy screen users who'd like to try it, ideally combined with anti-reflective coating.
Prescription sun lenses
Your prescription in tinted, polarized or mirrored lenses.
Good for: Drivers, outdoor lovers and anyone sensitive to bright light.
