PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES- WHAT KIND OF LENS DO YOU USE?

Have you been prescribed glasses by your optometrist? Do you find it more comfortable to sport prescription eyeglasses then do without them? Well, if that is indeed the case, you need to opt for the right eyewear which can offer you maximum comfort and a clear vision at all times.

Individuals who use prescription eyeglasses need to find a pair which compliments their face shape, completely covers their eyes, and is suitable enough to sport their prescription lenses. Some individuals have a need for thick prescription lenses which makes it necessary for them to choose an eyeglass frame which can bear the lens weight. But the prescription eyeglasses need to be strong and durable as they are used for daily wear and are a basic requirement of quite a few people who need glasses at all times.

While you choose the next new eyeglass frame, it is important to note that you know the type of lenses you would need as well. Do you know how many types of lenses your optometrist can prescribe for you, and how many other options you can explore?

No? Well, here goes!

Single Focal Lenses

If you are near-sighted or short-sighted, then you have probably been prescribed a single focal lens by

your optometrist. These lenses help you focus on near or distant objects, depending on the issue you’re

facing.

These lenses are quite common, and there are a number of eyeglass brands which offer frames to sport these single focal lenses.

Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses are for those individuals who are both short and near sighted and need two sets of glasses to see near and distant objects clearly. These lenses offer a solution in one lens pair. The lenses do not have any line to mark the multifocal lens effect.

Photochromatic Lenses

These lenses are generally used for better protection against the ultraviolet rays of the sunlight. Many individuals opt for photochromatic lenses to protect their eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

While most people opt for these lenses to ensure better protection, some eye doctors recommend more effective protection for the eyes to prevent any side effects on eyesight from exposure to the harsh rays of the sun.

These lenses are also called transition lenses and turn darker in shade when exposed to sunlight. There are a number of eyeglass brands which can be fitted with prescription lenses and also have photochromatic effect to provide the user with maximum comfort and an unobstructed vision.

As the demand for stylish and branded eyeglass frames increases, many renowned brands are introducing their collection of prescription eyeglasses which are the hot grabs and great favorites of every child, teenager, and adult!

Just make sure that your eyeglass frame is well-suited to the lenses prescribed by your optometrist.
