Lens Upgrades In Kailua, HI
Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare and improve night vision, making them a popular choice for people who spend a lot of time in front of screens or driving. They also eliminate the reflections on the surface of the lens to improve the cosmetic appearance of the lenses.
Scratch-resistant materials or coatings help to prevent scratches on the lenses, which can be especially useful for individuals who are active or have children.
Polycarbonate is a type of plastic that is known for its durability and impact resistance. It is often used because it is more resistant to breakage than other types of plastic.
Trivex is similar to polycarbonate in terms of its impact resistance. Compared to polycarbonate, it is slightly lighter in weight but may be slightly thicker. Trivex lenses may provide sharper vision than polycarbonate lenses. Trivex is a good choice for people who are prone to accidents or who engage in activities or sports that may result in injuries to the eyes.
High index material is especially beneficial for high-powered prescriptions. High index lenses are made from materials that have a higher refractive index, which means that they are thinner and lighter than traditional lenses.
Progressive lenses: These multifocal lenses provide a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision with no visible lines on the lenses. Not all progressive lenses are built the same. All progressive lenses have clear vision in a channel within the lens, distortion will be noticed outside of that channel. Some brands will offer very narrow channels and can lead to a lot of head movements or “fishing” for the clear part of the lens. Narrow channels are also associated with more difficulty adapting to the lenses. We always recommend a progressive with a wide channel to maximize vision and ease adaptation.
Blue light filtering lenses: These lenses filter out blue light, which has been linked to digital eye strain and disrupted sleep patterns. They are recommended for people who spend a lot of time in front of screens.
Anti-fatigue computer lenses are designed to reduce eye strain when using a computer or digital device. They typically include blue light filters and anti-reflective coating.
Transition lenses darken in sunlight and lighten indoors, eliminating the need for separate sunglasses and eyeglasses.
Polarized lenses reduce glare and improve contrast, making them a popular choice for outdoor activities such as fishing, paddling, and golfing.
