Every Upgrade We Offer — Explained
Not every lens upgrade is right for every person. Dr. Mordue will walk through your options at your exam and help you find the combination that fits your prescription, lifestyle, and budget.
Progressive Lenses
Multifocal lenses with a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision — no visible lines. Not all progressives are the same: wide-channel designs mean less head-turning and faster adaptation. We only offer lenses we'd wear ourselves.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Reduces glare from headlights, screens, and overhead lighting while improving night vision. Also eliminates reflections on the lens surface for a cleaner, more cosmetically appealing look. This is one upgrade we consider essential for almost every pair.
Trivex & Polycarbonate
Both are impact-resistant materials ideal for active lifestyles. Trivex provides sharper optical clarity than polycarbonate and is our preferred recommendation for people who engage in sports, outdoor activities, or anything that puts their glasses at risk.
High-Index Lenses
Made from materials with a higher refractive index, high-index lenses are significantly thinner and lighter than standard lenses — especially valuable for strong prescriptions where conventional lenses would be thick and heavy.
Blue Light Filtering
Filters a portion of high-energy blue light emitted by screens and LED lighting, which has been linked to digital eye strain and disrupted sleep. Recommended for anyone spending significant daily time in front of phones, tablets, or computers.
Anti-Fatigue Lenses
Designed to relieve the focusing strain that builds up during extended reading or screen sessions. A subtle power boost in the lower portion of the lens gives your eye muscles a break — you focus less, see more comfortably.
Photochromic Lenses
Automatically darken in sunlight and clear back up indoors — one pair that does the work of two. Ideal for patients who move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments and don't want to carry separate sunglasses.
Polarized Lenses
Eliminate reflected glare from water, sand, and pavement — a true necessity in Hawaii. Sharper contrast and better depth perception make polarized lenses the go-to choice for fishing, paddling, surfing, driving, and any life lived outdoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you only use ZEISS lenses?
ZEISS has been the global benchmark for optical precision for over 175 years. We chose to stock exclusively ZEISS because we believe your vision deserves the clearest, most accurate lenses available — not a compromise based on what's cheapest to stock. Every lens we cut is ZEISS, full stop.
What makes ZEISS ClearMind different from a standard progressive lens?
Standard progressive lenses correct your vision but don't account for how your brain processes visual information. ZEISS ClearMind uses NeurOptix Technology to optimize the lens based on your prescription, frame geometry, and visual behavior — resulting in larger clear zones, less peripheral distortion, and measurably less eye fatigue throughout the day.
Are progressive lenses hard to adapt to?
Most people adapt within a few days to a few weeks. The key is lens quality: wide-channel progressives like ZEISS give you a larger area of clear vision, which makes adaptation significantly easier. Narrow-channel lenses from discount labs are the main reason people struggle with progressives. Ours are not those.
Do I really need anti-reflective coating?
For most patients, yes. Anti-reflective coating reduces glare from headlights and screens, improves night driving safety, and makes your lenses look cleaner and clearer. It's one of the most meaningful upgrades for daily wearers and one we'd put on our own glasses without hesitation.
What's the difference between Trivex and polycarbonate?
Both are impact-resistant, but Trivex produces optically sharper lenses. Polycarbonate has been the standard for safety lenses for years, but Trivex is our preferred recommendation for anyone who wants the protection of a tough lens without any sacrifice in clarity.
How long does it take to get my new lenses?
Every pair of lenses is custom-made by ZEISS for your prescription, then shipped to us where we cut, edge, and install them in-house. Most glasses are ready within 1-2 weeks. Complex prescriptions or specialty lenses may take a little longer — we'll always give you an accurate timeline at pickup.
