HIGH INDEX

This super thin lens is more lightweight than standard plastic lenses and is best for those with a strong prescription. They bend light more efficiently, meaning light travels faster through these lenses than traditional lenses. High-index lenses can offer the same degree of visual correction using less material, which results in thinner lenses and less weight to your glasses. You can use your lens allowance towards upgrading lenses to getting your lenses thinner and lighter if required. Our partner opticians will discuss this in details.

ANTI-REFLECTIVE

AR coatings eliminate the reflection in lenses that reduce contrast and clarity. They improve night vision while also reducing headaches, blurred vision and watery eyes caused by eye strain. They also make your lenses nearly invisible, so you can make better eye contact and you and others aren’t distracted by the reflections in your lenses.

BLUE LIGHT

The artificial light from digital devices, also known as blue light, may cause blurry vision, difficulty focusing, dry and irritated eyes, headaches and even macular degeneration. To help combat the effects, blue light protection may either be incorporated into the lens material itself, or it may be added to a lens as a finishing coat. These special lens treatments provide protection from harmful high energy blue light.

PHOTOCHROMIC

They’re probably wearing photochromic lenses, sometimes also referred to as variable tint, Transitions^® and light adaptive lenses. These lenses continuously adapt to changing light conditions and are virtually clear indoors and at night. Plus, they also block UV rays.

Polarised lenses are used in sunglasses to eliminate the sun’s glare and help you see more comfortably. These lenses eliminate distracting reflected light from reaching your eyes. That means there’s less glare off of shiny surfaces like pavement and water. They offer 100% UV protection, reduce squinting and eyestrain and may help fight eye fatigue and headaches.
