| Bifocal Lenses |
 |
When we reach middle age we all start to suffer from presbyopia. This very often means that it becomes necessary to have two pairs of spectacles, one for distance vision and the other for close work.
Due to life styles, work and hobbies it is not always convenient to keep changing spectacles. |

| Varifocal Lenses |
 |
Varifocals, or progressive lenses as they are sometimes referred to, are similar in concept to bifocals.
They combine both distance and reading prescriptions into one lens. Unlike bifocals they do not have a dividing line as the prescription is blended. This blending not only enhances the focusing range of your prescription but, without a dividing line, improves the appearance of the spectacles. |

| Photochromic Lenses |
 |
These lenses are sensitive to ultra violet light and turn to a darker shade when subjected to UV light.
Generally available in either Gray or Brown they provide a comfortable tint for every day wear and can also be used for sunglasses in all but very bright conditions. |

| Anti Reflection Lenses |
 |
Originally developed for cameras and binoculars, the technology is now widely available to improve the performance and appearance of spectacle lenses.
As far as the wearer is concerned the coating improves vision particularly when using a computer or driving at night. |

| Thinner Spectacle Lenses |
 |
The advancement in materials and lens design has meant that we can now produce lenses that are up to 45% thinner than standard lenses.
The benefits being that not only are the lenses lighter and therefore more comfortable to wear the appearance is improved, especially if combined with an anti reflection coating. |
