Below is a simple guide that covers all the major elements you need to know before getting your next set of glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, whatever your level of knowledge, our expert team is always happy to explain the whole process and answer any questions as well.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1308&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;left-t-right&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204497&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;761269&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Single-vision distance &amp; reading lenses<\/h3>\n<p>Single power lenses which have the same focal power throughout (top to bottom) and can be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. Most people who wear spectacles before the age of 40 have single vision lenses.<\/p>\n<p>Reading glasses are made by customizing single vision lenses to your individual distance, generally between 30 and 40 cm.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;972899&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Progressive lenses<\/h3>\n<p>These lenses are meticulously designed to incorporate distance, middle and near-vision correction in a single lens. These lenses are personalized according to the wearer. If you have particularly unique eyes, or need bifocals but don\u2019t want the obvious line in your lens, consider progressive lenses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1310&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;right-t-left&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;380017&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1311&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;right-t-left&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;205759&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;430566&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Bifocal lenses<\/h3>\n<p>Why carry two pairs of glasses when you can carry one? Bifocals help take care of near and long-distance vision by combining two prescriptions into one lens.<\/p>\n<p>The upper part is used to help with distance correction, while the bottom portion is to help with near vision correction. These are excellent choices for people who have use for both reading and distance glasses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;523555&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Computer and office lenses<\/h3>\n<p>These lenses help mitigate Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) which can give you dizziness, blurriness of vision, redness in the eyes, dry eyes or double vision.<\/p>\n<p>These lenses often contain one or more of the following features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Slight Magnification<\/li>\n<li>Anti-Reflective<\/li>\n<li>Blue Light Filter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1315&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;right-t-left&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;154303&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_top_divider=&#8221;default&#8221; top_divider=&#8221;gradient&#8221; shape_top_h_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; shape_top_height=&#8221;150&#8243; shape_top_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; shape_top_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;280170&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;175263&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Lens Materials<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;182974&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #7fc16a;\">Standard Plastic<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Basic Lenses<\/h5>\n<p>Common Worldwide[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1318&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;61&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;189628&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;124901&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ed6c4c;\">Polycarbonate<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Impact-Resistant<\/h5>\n<p>Active Lifestyles &amp; <strong>Children<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1317&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;61&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;167488&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;588267&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #f1bb13;\">High-Index 1.6, 1.67, 1.74<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5>Thin &amp; Lightweight<\/h5>\n<p>All Prescription ranges[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1316&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;61&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;866167&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_top_divider=&#8221;default&#8221; top_divider=&#8221;gradient&#8221; shape_top_h_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; shape_top_height=&#8221;150&#8243; shape_top_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; shape_top_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;280170&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_top_divider=&#8221;default&#8221; top_divider=&#8221;gradient&#8221; shape_top_h_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221; shape_top_height=&#8221;150&#8243; shape_top_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; shape_top_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;280170&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;271089&#8243; subheading=&#8221;Single Vision lenses, Multifocals, Anti-reflective, Blue light lenses and the list goes on!

When the reflections are gone, light can pass through the lenses easily which leads to clearer vision. The advantage being that your lenses look almost invisible, making them more comfortable and flattering.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; title=&#8221;Light Reactive&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1650859094-2-59&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;639632&#8243;]Tired of squinting in the sun, scrambling to find your sunglasses then, once you\u2019ve got your sunglasses on, stumbling in the dark when you get inside?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe light reactive lenses are for you. These lenses automatically adapt to your light conditions. When you go outside the lenses will rapidly darken to reduce eye strain and squinting in sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Then when you go indoors they will automatically return to their clear state.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; title=&#8221;Multifocal Lenses&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1650859371697-2-1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;104370&#8243;]Multifocal lenses are designed to correct your distance, intermediate and near vision.<\/p>\n<p>Our multifocal lenses utilise digital technology, which optimises vision at every point and reduces distortions.<\/p>\n<p>Multifocals act as multi-purpose spectacles, offering convenience whether you\u2019re reading and watching TV, grocery shopping or driving.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; title=&#8221;Polarised Lenses&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1650859435829-3-2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;179436&#8243;]Polarised lenses are excellent at reducing glare and offer ultimate protection. They feature a filter that reduces reflected light from passing through the lens.<\/p>\n<p>This filter can stop the squint and maximises clearer vision.
