Lenses
Not all lenses are alike. Your provider will help you select the lenses with features that are best for you. Consider:

• Lenses That Fit Your Needs
• Lens Options

Lenses That Fit Your Needs
The type of lens that your doctor recommends will be based largely on your prescription, as well as your lifestyle.

• Single Vision: Lenses that correct one vision defect;  nearsightedness,  farsightedness or a simple reading correction.
• Bifocals and Trifocals: Lenses for those with a visual condition such as presbyopia that requires more than distance to focus. Bifocals offer two areas of focus and trifocals offer three areas of focus.
• Lenticular: Lenses prescribed for those needing lens that are heavier or thicker because of a specific lens requirement. The lenticular lens design helps reduce the thickness, making the lens more cosmetically and functionally appealing.
• Progressives: No-line multifocal lenses which provide the needed correction for multiple focal lengths but do not have a visible seam or line in the lenses.

Lens Options
Your lenses can be enhanced for optimal vision comfort by the following lens options:

• Tinted Lenses (Solid or Gradient): Lenses made with coatings applied to the lens material to reduce the amount of light entering the eye.
• Polycarbonate Lens Material: Makes lenses up to ten times stronger and approximately thirty percent lighter.
• Scratch-resistant Coating: A protective coating applied directly to the lens material that greatly reduces the potential for normal scratching of the lenses, reducing lens distortion.
• UV (Ultraviolet) Coating: Protects eyes from the potentially harmful ultraviolet rays generated from the sun or other light sources.
