Single Vision Glasses Lenses

Single vision glasses lenses are designed with one prescription across the entire lens, providing clear vision for one specific distance. They are commonly used for short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) or astigmatism, and can be made for distance, reading or screen use depending on your prescription and everyday needs. Available in a range of lens materials, thicknesses and optional coatings, single vision lenses can be tailored for comfort, durability and clearer vision. Popular options include an anti-reflective coating to help reduce glare, a scratch-resistant coating for added protection and UV protection for outdoor wear.

Transitions Single Vision Lenses

Transitions Single Vision lenses provide clear vision at one prescription strength while automatically adapting to changing light conditions. Indoors, they remain clear; outdoors, they darken in response to UV light, although they are 100% UV safe, helping to reduce glare and improve visal comfort. They are suitable for people who need correction for either distance or close-up vision, depending on their prescription. These lenses offer everyday convenience by reducing the need to switch between standard prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses. Please note that the level and speed of tint activation can vary with temperature, UV levels and the type of vehicle windscreen.

Polarised Prescription Single Vision Sunlenses

Polarised prescription single vision sunlenses combine clear vision correction with dependable sun protection. Designed for people who need one prescription strength across the whole lens, they can be made for distance or near vision, depending on your requirements. The polarised filter helps reduce reflected glare from flat surfaces such as roads, water, snow and car bonnets, making outdoor activities and driving more comfortable. These sunlenses also provide UV protection to help shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. Available in a range of tint colours and compatible with many frame styles, they offer a practical, comfortable option for everyday wear in bright conditions.

Bifocal Lenses

Bifocal lenses are designed to provide clear vision at two different distances, usually for seeing far away and for close-up tasks such as reading. They are commonly used by people with presbyopia, an age-related change that makes it harder to focus on nearby objects. A traditional bifocal lens has a visible segment in the lower part of the lens for near vision, while the upper section is used for distance vision. Bifocals can be fitted into a range of spectacle frames and tailored to your prescription, lifestyle and visual needs. Although there may be a short adjustment period when first wearing them, bifocal lenses can offer a practical alternative to switching between separate pairs of reading and distance glasses.

Varifocal Multifocal Lenses

Varifocal multifocal lenses provide clear vision at more than one distance in a single pair of glasses. They are designed for people who need help seeing nearby objects, such as books or phone screens, as well as intermediate distances like computer monitors and objects further away. Unlike traditional bifocal lenses, varifocals have no visible dividing line. Instead, the prescription changes gradually from the top of the lens for distance vision, through the middle for intermediate tasks, to the lower section for close-up work. This creates a more natural appearance and allows you to move between viewing distances without changing glasses. It can take a short period to adapt, particularly when using stairs or looking towards the sides of the lenses, but most wearers become comfortable with them quickly. An eye care professional can help ensure your frames and lenses are fitted accurately for comfortable, effective everyday vision.

Varifocals Multifocal Lenses

As the name suggests, the Comfort varifocal lenses are designed for people who need clear vision at more than one distance without changing between separate pairs of glasses. They provide a smooth progression from distance vision at the top of the lens, through an intermediate zone for tasks such as using a computer, to near vision for reading. Unlike bifocal lenses, varifocals have no visible line, giving them a more natural appearance and a gradual change in focus. Comfort varifocals are often a good choice for first-time or general regular wearers as their wider viewing areas can make it easier to adapt to everyday activities.
