Create the perfect eyeglasses with our wide variety of lens options.

A great pair of eyeglasses is more than the right prescription and flattering frames - it's also the right lens materials, lens type and coatings for the way you work and live.

COATINGS & TINTS

• SCRATCH COATING
  Reduces and minimize scratches on plastic lenses.
• UV400 COATING
  Exposure to UV light has been linked to cataracts, retinal damage, and macular degeneration. Polycarbonate and Hi Index lenses block UV light.
• NO-GLARE TREATMENT
  No-glare lenses improve vision clarity by allowing more light to reach the eye. No-glare dramatically improves the appearance of lenses by making them less reflective and improves night driving by reducing night glare. Our exclusive ARista^TM no-glare lens (link to eyewear-ARista No-Glare page) features increased scratch protection and easy cleaning.
• TINTS
  Colored pigment added to lenses for fashion or function.
• TRANSITIONS™
  These lenses adjust to light conditions and offer 100% UV protection. Transitions^TM lenses are activated by UV light and are virtually clear indoors. Transitions^TM lenses are available in polycarbonate, hi index and plastic lens materials and can be ordered for almost any prescription.

LENS MATERIALS

• POLYCARBONATE
  The Henry Ford OptimEyes lens of choice, polycarbonate lenses are virtually unbreakable and block 100% of harmful UV light making them the safest lens available. These lenses are one-third thinner than plastic lenses and extremely lightweight. Polycarbonate is the most prescribed material by Henry Ford OptimEyes optometric professionals.
  
• HIGH INDEX (Thin Lenses)
  This type of plastic lens reduces lens thickness and is lightweight. High index lenses are ideal for high astigmatic corrections. High index lenses provide slightly flatter curves; therefore, they provide better cosmetics than glass or plastic lenses.
  
• PLASTIC (Hard Resin)
  Plastic lenses are half the weight of glass, and can be tinted to almost any color or darkness; however, they are not as impact resistant as polycarbonate.



• GLASS
  This type of lens material is scratch-resistant and offers good optics; however, glass lenses are twice as heavy as plastic lenses and even though hardened, they can break.

LENS TYPES

• SINGLE VISION LENSES
  Single vision lenses are all-purpose eyeglass lenses for people who wear glasses for distance or near vision. Single vision lenses are available in all lens materials.
  
• ASPHERIC LENSES
  This lens provides for a thinner, lighter in weight design versus the traditional spherical lenses and it eliminates the bulging appearance of thick lenses for people with stronger prescriptions. Aspheric lenses are especially beneficial in fitting high plus prescriptions (farsighted)
  
• PROGRESSIVES (No-Line Bifocals)
  The multifocal lens of choice, progressives are most like natural vision with three ranges: near, intermediate and distance. This "no line" lens allows the patient to adapt easily and is cosmetically appealing. Progressives come in all lens materials and are available in aspheric form.
  
• FLAT-TOP BIFOCALS
  As its name suggests, the distance and reading portions of this lens are separated by a visible flat line. Flat top bifocals are available in every type of lens material.
  
• TRIFOCALS
  This lens is available in a variety of designs with a flat-top. Trifocals provide an additional segment to the bifocal lens, which allows clear vision at arm's length. Trifocals are available in every type of lens material.
  
• SPORTS GLASSES
  Sport eyewear is specifically designed for the protection and enhancement of vision during sports activities. Sport eyewear features impact resistant, polycarbonate lenses, UV400 protection and lightweight secure frames with adjustable head straps.
  
• COMPUTER GLASSES
  Computer glasses (link to eyewear-computer page) feature a custom designed prescription for the distance between your eyes and your computer screen. Special filters and anti-reflective coatings are added to reduce headaches, neck and back strain, and overall body fatigue caused by Computer Vision Syndrome.
  
• POLARIZED LENSES
  Polarized lenses are absolutely the best option for sunglasses. Special filters in the lens work to eliminate annoying glare, which can sometimes prove dangerous. Polarized lenses are perfect for fishing, water sports and winter activities. These lenses block 100% of harmful UV light and are available in polycarbonate, plastic and glass.
