Types of Lenses
Anti-Reflective Lenses
Anti-reflective coating, also called “AR” coating or anti-glare coating, eliminates most reflections from the surface of the lens, thereby allowing more light to pass through for better visual acuity. In addition, the coating improves the overall aesthetic by making the lens look nearly invisible. On sunglasses, an anti-reflective coating is often applied to the back of the lens to eliminate glare from sunlight reflecting into your eyes when the sun is behind you.
Transition Lenses
Also called photochromic lenses, transitions darken in the sun, and lighten when indoors. Transition lenses offer convenience and continuous UV protection. They do not become as dark inside a car, because the UV filter in the windshield may block the action of the lens, and even in direct sunlight they may not become as dark as traditional sunglass lenses. Transition lenses can be a great option for everyday use, but traditional sunglasses are often best for certain outdoor activities, or long periods of time spent out in the sun.
Progressive Lenses
Lens with a smooth transition between parts with different focal lengths, that corrects for vision at all distances. Unlike a bifocal or trifocal, a progressive has no lines, and offers vision at near and far (reading) and everywhere in between. Brand name progressive lenses are laser-marked so they can be identified. EyeCare EyeWear offers progressive lenses from the top manufacturers in the world, which include Zeiss, Hoya, and Shamir.
Blue Light Filter Lenses
Beneficial for those who spend a significant amount of time in front of digital devices (smartphones, computers, etc.). The filter is a coating that can be applied to the lens that helps to reduce eye strain and may help to mitigate the negative effects of blue light on our eyes.
Polarized Lenses
Block the intense reflected light that causes glare and reduced visibility. This can be especially beneficial for boating and other water activities, certain sports, such as biking and golfing and driving.
Specialty Lenses
For anyone diagnosed with vision impairment, our opticians are experts in low vision and can provide specialty lenses for people with all types of vision problems as well as connect you with magnifiers and other optical devices to help you see better.
