Lenses

When selecting your lenses during the frame order process you will come across these options in the drop down menu:

Frame only

Select this option if you:

• - Want to select the frame without a prescription lens.

Distance

Select this option if you:

• - If you wear your glasses everyday without the need for Bi-focals or varifocals
• - You need them for seeing things in the distance, e.g. driving, television etc.
• - An anti-reflective coating is advised if used for driving at night time or if used under strong lighting etc.

Computer/middle distance

Select this option if you:

• - You mostly use these glasses for computer work or anything at an arm’s length
• - If you are a musician your music will normally be at an arm’s length/middle distance
• - We recommend anti reflective coatings if using for a computer or under strong lights

Reading

Select this option if you:

• - You mostly read things close up, normally at half an arms length. (Books, papers etc)

Tinted lenses:

Choose a light tint if you want a tint for everyday use.

Chose a dark tint if you want to give your glasses a sunglass tint.

All our tints are fully UV protected

Transtion Lenses

Transitions/Reactolite lenses will darken outdoors and go clear indoors.

These will give 100% UV protection and are available in grey or brown.

Due to UV protection on car windscreens these will not react as well inside vehicles.

Thinner lenses

This option is available if you want to avoid any excess thickness on stronger prescriptions.

If you do have a strong prescription a full rimmed frame or plastic/acetate frame will conceal the thickness of the lens much better.

(Semi-rimless and rimless frames expose the edge thickness and we require a minimum thickness of 2mm to ensure the lens has sufficient strength).

Thinner lenses are as follows:

1.6

(Up to 30% thinner)

1.67

(Up to 36% thinner)

1.74

 (Up to 42% thinner)

(Based on a -4 prescription)
