Choosing the right lenses is just as important as choosing a cool frame. Lenses are the working part of your glasses that affect both your vision and comfort. With advancements in optical technology, various features can be added to lenses to improve your overall experience. Whether you need glasses for everyday use, reading or specialized tasks, here are some cool features to have in your eyeglass lenses.
Scratch Resistant Coating
Scratch-resistant coating is a thin, tough layer that protects your lenses from daily wear and tear. It doesn’t make lenses scratch-proof but reduces the chances of minor scratches that can affect your vision. This feature is more important for plastic lenses which are more prone to scratching than glass lenses.
UV Protection
Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can harm your eyes and can lead to cataracts or other eye problems over time. Lenses with 100% UV protection block UVA and UVB rays, protecting your eyes from these harmful effects.
Blue Light Filtering
Blue light from screens and artificial lighting can cause eye strain, headaches and disrupt sleep patterns. Lenses with blue light filtering technology reduce the amount of blue light that reaches your eyes, so it’s a great choice for those who spend a lot of time in front of computers, tablets, or smartphones.
Photochromic Lenses
Photochromic lenses, also known as transition lenses, change tint according to light exposure. They darken in bright sunlight and go clear indoors. This feature gives you the convenience of having one pair of glasses for indoor and outdoor use.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Anti-reflective (AR) coating reduces glare from computer screens, headlights, and other light sources, so you can see clearer. If you spend long hours in front of screens or drive at night, AR coating is a must-have.
High-Index Lenses
If you have a high prescription, high-index lenses are worth the investment. They are thinner and lighter than standard lenses so more comfortable to wear. High-index lenses are perfect for those with high prescriptions who want to avoid the thick heavy lenses that can distort the shape of your eyes.
Aspheric Lenses
Aspheric lenses have a more complex curvature than standard lenses. This reduces distortion and gives a slimmer more natural profile. Aspheric lenses give a wider field of vision and less magnification or minification of the eyes so perfect for those with higher prescriptions.
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and glass so perfect for driving, fishing, skiing, or other outdoor activities. They enhance contrast and visual clarity so your vision is sharper and more comfortable in bright conditions.
