Specialty Lens Coatings – Extra Protection for Your Eyes!

Make Your Glasses Even Better with Special Coatings

Just like you can add toppings to ice cream to make it better, we can add special coatings to your lenses to make them work better and last longer!

Anti-Reflective Coating on Lens

What is it?An anti-reflective coating on lens(also called AR coating) is like an invisible shield that stops light from bouncing off your glasses.

Why you need it:

  • No more annoying reflections when taking pictures
  • Easier and safer driving at night (no glare from headlights!)
  • More comfortable computer use (no screen glare)
  • People can see your eyes better (looks nicer!)
  • Better-looking photos (no glare in pictures)

How it works:Special layers on the lens let light go THROUGH the lens instead of bouncing off. This means clearer vision and less eye strain!

Blue Light Blocking Glasses Prescription

Do you use computers, phones, or tablets a lot? You need blue light-blocking glasses with prescriptionlenses!

Why block blue light?

  • Better sleep at night (blue light can keep you awake!)
  • Less eye strain and fatigue
  • Fewer headaches from screen time
  • More comfortable device use
  • Long-term eye health protection

Scratch-Resistant Coating

Protects your lenses from:

  • Daily wear and tear
  • Keys in your pocket or purse
  • Cleaning with the wrong cloth
  • Accidental drops
  • Kids and pets!

This coating makes your glasses last much longer!

UV Protection

Just like sunscreen protects your skin, UV coating protects your eyes from harmful sun rays! This helps prevent:

  • Cataracts (cloudy eyes when you’re older)
  • Macular degeneration (vision loss)
  • Eye damage from bright sunlight

Photochromic Lenses (Transitions)

These are “magic” lenses that automatically darken in bright sunlight and clear up indoors! It’s like having sunglasses and regular glasses in one!

Benefits:

  • No need to switch between glasses and sunglasses
  • Always the right tint for the lighting
  • Convenient and easy
  • Protects from UV rays

Polarized Lenses

Perfect for sunglasses! Polarized lenses cut glare from:

  • Water (great for fishing and boating!)
  • Snow (skiing and snowboarding)
  • Car hoods and windshields
  • Wet roads

Makes everything look clearer and reduces eye strain on sunny days!

Progressive lenses provide seamless vision correction for near, intermediate, and distance viewing without visible bifocal lines.

We offer anti-reflective, blue-light, polarized, and custom tint coatings designed to fit your lifestyle.

Yes, blue-light and anti-reflective coatings reduce digital eye strain and improve comfort for computer users.

Absolutely. We tailor every progressive lens to your prescription and fit for precise, personalized results.

Some people feel a little “swimmy” or dizzy the first few days – this is totally normal! Your brain is learning to use the new lenses. Most people adjust within 1-2 weeks of regular wear.

 With proper care and scratch-resistant coating, progressive lenses typically last 2-3 years. You may need new ones sooner if your prescription changes.

Usually, progressive lenses are for adults over 40. However, some kids with special vision needs might benefit from them. Our optometrist will recommend what’s best!
