Same Day Service Available on Most PrescriptionsChoosing Optical Lenses For Your Frames

Our experienced optical staff will help you decide which material and what design best fits your needs. If you are thinking about lenses that change in the sun we will help you decide which color is best for you. Most of these can be made fast, even the same day as your visit.

Choosing Lenses can be very confusing. You may hear many new words such as:

  • CR-39
  • High index
  • Polycarbonate
  • Photochromatic (ex: Smart Shade, Transitions, Instashades)
  • Single vision
  • Straight top bifocal
  • Progressive (sometimes called a no-line bifocal)
  • Aspheric or spherical
  • Anti-reflective lenses

Clear or Photochromatic

Our premium lens products represent a new generation of plastic lens material that produces a thinner, lighter, and more cosmetically attractive lens than standard plastic. Our premium index material transmits more light for clearer sharper vision and can be produced clear or photochromatic.

These lenses are available in Clear Light, Sun Smart Gray, Sun Smart Brown and Ultra Sun Gray. The chart to the right may help you decide which material is best for you. These words describe either the lens design or the material used to make the lens. CR-39, high index and polycarbonate are three different materials from which lenses are made. Single vision indicates the lens power is for a single distance, either distance or reading. Bifocal and/or Progressive (sometimes called a no-line bifocal) will help you at both distance and reading.

Digital lens technology allows us to provide premium lens designs, materials, coatings (for example mirror) and inborne Anti-Reflective lenses. Again this is done in-office for same day service. We utilize a computerized lens cutting system and the newest technology in casting digital freeform lenses.

Contact Lenses

The new generation of contact lens is classified as silicon-hydrogel. The addition of silicon and better manufacturing techniques help by:

  • Increasing oxygen flow to the eye by as much as five times more than older lenses
  • Resists evaporation and stay wetter for better all day comfort
  • Producing durable longer lasting lenses
  • Good edge design and stable material produces sharp crisp vision
  • Enable production of high quality single vision, astigmatism and even bifocal lenses
  • Standard two weeks or monthly replacement lenses
  • Lenses for astigmatism
  • Bifocal lenses
  • Custom astigmatism bifocal combination
  • Even 1 day disposable lenses for those special occasions or sports.
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
