We use a variety of lens manufacturers for servicing our patient needs. Essilor and Shamir are our commonly used partners as they offer high quality lenses with a large option of lenses with different treatments and coatings to meet our patient’s needs. We also partner with Hoya and Oakley.
Our lab has Nidek Lex 1000 edging equipment, allowing us the capabilities to provide same day services and 1 hour edging. We are happy to provide quick quality eyewear for our patient’s needs. We do carry a limited quantity of single vision plastic lenses for patients with lower prescription needing a basic lens.
Lens treatments and coatings are applied to the lenses during the manufacturing and grinding process.
Scratch resistant lenses are treated with a scratch resistance coating. It is important to remember not all treatments and coatings are 100% scratch proof as the environment canaffect glasses. TD2 is a super scratch resistant treatment applied to lenses. It is recommended for people working in dusty, dirty, and windy environments. Anti-reflective treatments and coatings are also known as AR. This helps to reduce eye fatigue, glare and any additional reflections from the environment.
Anti-reflective lenses are more cosmetically appealing as they lessen the staring effect and enhance vision. We recommend AR treatments for anyone who works on computers, under florescent lights, and for night time driving. Most AR lenses have hydrophobic and smudge resistance properties.
There are several different styles and types of lenses available at our office. Choosing a lens can be difficult as there are many different factors that can affect your vision. It is important to feel confident when choosing out lenses for your glasses. Our opticians and optometrists will take the time educate and recommend a lens choice that is option for you.
Ultraviolet radiation is entering earths atmosphere on a daily basis. It is important to wear sun protection when outdoors as the health of the eye will deteriorate without protection. Sunglasses offer UV ray protection as well as darken the intensity of the sun light.
Polarized lenses help reduce glare, fatigue, and increase vision in low vision conditions. These lenses are available in an assortment of colors and treatments. The polarized lens has a filter built into the lens that blocks out the excess light reflecting from surfaces. We recommend polarized lenses for boaters, golfers, drivers and fishermen.
Tinted lenses range from light gradient color to full solid dark colors and come in an assortment of colors. Tinted lenses are made of a plastic lens and are dipped in a dye solution until the desired color is met. These lenses are recommended for piolets, filter sensitive people and occupational work needs.
Mirrored lenses are treated with a mirror treatment that reflects out light reducing glare. These lenses are available in a variety of colors that help to enhance vision.
Aspheric lenses are designed to lessen the appearance of magnification. Aspheric lenses are available in Single vision, high index lenses. This lens is thinner and designed for a compact look perfect for anyone who is conscious of the look of their glasses.
Kryptok lenses provide farsighted and nearsighted vision correction in one lens with a round segment that separates the distance and reading. Unlike the bifocal the kryptok lens has a round segment for the magnified reading portion. The round segment is less noticeable then the D shape reading segment of a bifocal.
Trifocal lenses are similar to progressive lenses as they offer three fields of vision for distance, intermediate, and reading. These lenses will have noticeable lines much like the bifocal lens. Most trifocal wearers have been shifted to a progressive as lens manufacturers are designing less of this style lens.
Progressive lenses are also known as multi-focal or progressive addition lens. This lens is a multi-purpose lens that is similar to a lined trifocal but different as the design as there are no lines separating the different fields of vision. Progressives can be made to fit in any prescription need such as computer and piano.

If you spend over 2 hours a day on a computer then a computer lens is a good option to consider. The lens is designed to specific intermediate and near vision needs. Some lenses allow some distance vision while others are set to the exact distance required for the task. Computer lenses are designed to lower eye strain with filters, tints and anti-reflective treatments.
Impact-resistant lenses are recommended for sport glasses as they are designed for chip and impact resistance and are less likely to crack. There are an assortment of designs, colors and coating for sport lenses.
Single vision lenses provide one field of vision correction for patients. These lenses help with farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatisms. This style of lens is available in all materials.
Transition lenses darken with UV exposure and lighten when indoors. This lens has filter built into the lens, which reacts to the environment. Transition lenses are available in different lens materials and treatments. Some transition lenses are made with a polarization filter which will allow the lens to darken to sunglass darkness. There are a variety of color options available from our lens manufacturers. Our opticians will be happy to help educate and recommend a transition lens that will fit your needs and lifestyle.
Bifocal lenses offer farsighted and nearsighted vision correction in one lens with a line that separates the distance and reading, this line is noticeable. The top portion of the lens is for distance as the bottom potion of the lens has a D shape which is for near vision.
