Prescription and Eyeglass Information

Polycarbonate Eyeglass Lenses

Polycarbonate lenses also called feather lites are up to 40% thinner and lighter than CR-39 plastic lenses and are also commonly used for safety glasses. Polycarbonate lenses are always recommended for children up to the age of 18.

Transitional Eyeglass Lenses

Transitional lenses are lenses that darken when you go outside. Once your walk indoors, the lenses will return to their clear state. We use high quality, brand name lenses.

High Index 1.67 Eyeglass Lenses

High index 1.67 lenses are the thinest and lightest lenses available. Additionally, they already come with an anti-scratch coating and are the best choice for high prescriptions.

Anti-Glare

Anti-reflective or Anti-Glare (A/R) coatings are applied to the surface of lenses to reduce reflection. These lenses are great for night driving and for anyone who works in florescent lights and also great for computer users.

Polarized Sunglass Lenses

Polarized lenses reduce glare and enhance visibility. They are great by the water or for driving. For a good example of how these lenses work, consider driving in your car. You often see a glare off of the dashboard, or the reflections in the windshield off light colored materials such as a piece of paper. Having polarized lenses virtually eliminates all of this reflection and glare. In addition, polarized lenses are the only lenses that enable visibility below the surface of water in marine environments. This can be very helpful for any water sports or the fishing enthusiast. They are available in gray or brown.
