Suggestions appear here once the builder has your answers.
Blue-Light Filtering Lenses
Suggested when you spend six or more hours a day on screens.
Blue-light filtering lenses block part of the highest-energy visible light that reaches your eyes, the light screens and LED lighting give off. Some wearers say a screen feels less tiring by the end of a long day.
Good to know: research has not shown that screen blue light damages the eye, and these lenses are not a cure for digital eye strain. Screen strain usually comes from hours of close focus, a dry eye surface and glare. A filter is one comfort option, not a fix on its own.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Suggested when you drive after dark or spend long hours on screens.
An anti-reflective coating is applied to the lens to cut the reflections that bounce off its front and back surfaces. Those reflections are what you notice as glare from headlights, streetlights and monitors, so reducing them can make low-light vision feel cleaner.
Good to know: a coating may reduce reflections and glare, but it does not guarantee safe night driving. How well you see at night depends on your prescription, your eye health and the road. Keep your lenses and windshield clean, and see us if oncoming headlights have started to bother you.
Photochromic, or Light-Adjusting, Lenses
Suggested when your day moves between indoors and bright outdoor light.
Photochromic lenses darken when ultraviolet (UV) light reaches them and clear again indoors, so one pair of glasses can cover a lunchtime walk and an afternoon at a desk.
Good to know: a car windshield blocks most UV, so these lenses darken far less inside a vehicle than they do outdoors. If you want dependable sun protection while driving, a separate pair of prescription sunglasses does the job better.
Progressive or Multifocal Lenses
Suggested from around age 40 and up, or when close work is getting harder.
Progressive lenses carry distance, middle and near powers in one lens without the visible line of a bifocal. They suit presbyopia, the age-related change that makes reading and phone text harder to focus.
Good to know: progressives need a current prescription and a careful measurement of where your eyes sit in the frame. Not everyone adapts easily, and some work is better served by a dedicated pair for the desk or the computer. The optical team can tell you which design suits your day.
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Suggested when you play a sport, stay active, or already wear contact lenses.
A fresh sterile pair every morning and nothing to clean at night. Daily lenses suit sport, travel and occasional wear, and they remove the storage routine that trips up reusable lens wearers.
Good to know: contact lenses need a fitting first, and the right lens depends on your prescription, your tear film and the shape of your cornea. Our practice record lists 36 contact lens products we carry, including the daily options. See what we actually carry. Never buy lenses without a current prescription.
Safety-Rated Sport Frames
Suggested when you play a sport or take on active hobbies.
Impact sport needs more than a tough pair of everyday glasses. Sport frames hold the lens closer to the eye, stay put through sweat, and can be made in impact-resistant material. Safety-rated eyewear is tested to a protection standard, so it is the right choice for ball sports, racquet sports, cycling and workshop tasks.
Good to know: everyday glasses and fashion sunglasses are not safety eyewear, and a standard frame does not protect the eye from impact. Ask which frames are rated for your sport before you buy.
