When you’re picking out new glasses, it’s easy to get caught up in finding the perfect frames. However, it’s important not to overlook the quality of the lenses. The right lenses can not only improve your vision but also enhance your comfort, support your lifestyle, and even protect your eye health in the long run. Let’s explore the lens options we offer to meet your unique visual needs.
Single vision lenses
Single vision lenses are the most common type of prescription lenses. These lenses correct vision at one specific distance, whether you need them for reading, computer work, or driving. If you only need vision correction for near or distance vision, single vision lenses could be right for you.
Multifocal lenses: bifocals, trifocals, and progressives
If you need vision correction at multiple distances, multifocal lenses could be just what you’re looking for. At Clarin Eye Care Center and Coral Gables Eye Care, we offer several types of multifocal lenses:
- Bifocals: These lenses contain two prescriptions within the same lens, correcting both distance and near vision. The top part of the lens allows you to see things farther away, while the bottom part is for close-up work, such as reading or sewing. While effective, bifocals feature a visible separation line between the two prescriptions that can be distracting and difficult to adjust to.
- Trifocals: Trifocals have a similar design to bifocals except they correct vision at three different distances instead of two. In addition to the distance and near sections, trifocals also have a middle section that allows you to see objects at arm’s length, such as a computer screen. As with bifocals, trifocals have visible lines separating the three lens areas.
- Varilux® progressive lenses: Varilux® progressive lenses offer smooth, seamless vision without the visible lines found in traditional bifocals or trifocals. They provide clear vision at every distance without the blurriness or off-balance feeling often associated with ordinary progressives. They are especially useful in low-light conditions, offering clear and comfortable vision.
Specialized lenses
In addition to traditional lenses, we also offer specialized lenses to meet your unique vision needs:
- EnChroma Color Blind Lenses: If you have a color vision deficiency, EnChroma lenses can transform the way you see the world. These innovative lenses enhance your ability to see and distinguish colors, making everyday experiences—from choosing clothes to appreciating a sunset—more vibrant and enjoyable.
- Crizal® No Glare lenses: Crizal lenses are designed to keep your vision clear and your glasses looking great. They reduce glare from screens, headlights, and bright lights, making them perfect for work, driving, or relaxing. They also feature a scratch-resistant coating and smudge resistance, so your lenses stay cleaner for longer.
- Transitions® Light Intelligent Lenses™: If you frequently move between indoor and outdoor settings, Transitions® lenses are a great option for you. These light-adaptive lenses change from clear indoors to tinted outdoors and provide continuous protection against UV rays. Furthermore, they reduce eye strain by filtering harmful blue light emitted by digital devices and the sun. No matter where you are, these lenses will provide you with comfort and protection for your eyes.
