Eyeglasses Lens Guide
Impact-resisant lenses
We include premium, lightweight lenses made of durable polycarbonate in the price of all of our eyeglasses.
Scratch-resistant coating
This coating does just what it sounds like. (And if scratches appear, we’ll replace your prescription lenses for free within six months of purchase.)
Anti-reflective coating
This coating does double duty: It eliminates glare from your lenses and eases eye strain caused by reflections.
Smudge-resistant coating
Our lenses are also treated with a superhydrophobic coating—which means they repel moisture to help prevent smudging.
UV protection
Our lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, for an extra layer of protection in your day to day.
Prescription types
Whether you want to correct your near, far, or intermediate vision (or all three), we have lenses that meet your vision needs.
Single-vision
These lenses correct one field of vision-near, intermediate, or distance. This option is what most people choose.
Progressive Lens
These digital free-form progressive lenses provide seamless correction for reading, distance, and everything in between. If there’s an “ADD” value on your prescription, progressives may be right for you.
Precision progressives
If you’re looking for superior visual quality, with added comfort, then these premium progressive lenses are a smart upgrade. Each pair is specially made using additional measurements to optimize your vision, reduce peripheral distortion, and provide up to a 33% wider field of view.
Readers
These lenses offer simple magnification (up to +2.75) for, well, reading—no prescription necessary.
Lens Types
All our optical lenses, regardless of prescription, come with the benefits outlined above. You can also customize yours with one of these specialized lens types.
Blue-light-filtering
Blue light is a subset of light emitted by the sun, as well as by computer, phone, and other electronic screens. These lenses filter a higher percentage of blue light than our classic option.
Anti-fatigue
This lens is designed to lessen eye strain caused by digital devices and other activities that require focus. It features a small boost of power that is seamlessly integrated into a single-vision lens, with no visible lines.
Light-responsive
These lenses transition from fully clear to a darker tint (choose from grey, brown, or green) when exposed to UV rays, reducing glare and eye strain. They also protect your eyes from 100% of UVA and UVB rays and filter more blue light from the sun and screens than our classic lenses.
Lens materials
We offer three high-quality options, so you can pick the one that’s ideal for your prescription strength.
Standard
Our most popular option, these lightweight lenses are made of durable polycarbonate. They come standard for all optical orders and Frames.
Thinner
Recommended for anyone with a strong prescription (+/-4.0 or higher total power), 1.67 high-index lenses are up to 20% thinner than polycarbonate lenses
Thinnest
Recommended for those with especially strong prescriptions (+/-8.0 or higher total power), 1.74 high-index lenses are up to 10% thinner than 1.67 high-index lenses.
