Spectacle Lenses:
Choosing the right spectacle lens requires expert advice and we are happy to discuss the wide range available to best suit your needs.
Single vision lenses are the most common lens option for people under 45. However, as we age these lenses won’t allow us to see clearly at all distances. There are several lens options available depending on your lifestyle and working environment. Your optometrist would be happy to discuss these options with you.
Other choices also available are:
- High refractive index lenses-thinner and lighter
- Anti- reflection coatings
- Transitions lenses-tints that change from light to dark
- Polarised lenses-to offer protection from reflected glare
- Sunglasses including Fitovers, Clip-ons and Baby Banz
- Cases, cords, cloths and lens cleaning solutions
- Contact lens solutions
- Eye drops and ointments
- Ready-made readers
