The frame gets the attention, but the lens does the work. Getting the right lens for your prescription, lifestyle, and visual habits is one of the most important decisions in the eyewear process — and it’s one our opticians take seriously.
We’ll walk you through every option at the time of your exam or fitting, but here’s an overview of what we offer and why it matters.
Lens Types
- Single Vision: The most common lens type — one focal power throughout the lens, correcting either distance or near vision. A clear, straightforward choice for patients without presbyopia.
- Bifocal: Two distinct viewing zones in one lens — typically distance on top, reading on the bottom, with a visible line between them. A reliable, time-tested solution for patients who need correction at both distances.
- Progressive (No-Line Multifocal): A seamless transition across distance, intermediate, and near zones — no visible line, no abrupt shift. The modern standard for patients over 40 who need correction at multiple distances.
- Reading Lenses: Optimized for near work — reading, screen use, fine detail. Often paired with a second pair for distance wear.
- Computer / Occupational Lenses: Designed for intermediate distances — ideal for patients who spend extended time at a screen and find standard progressives create fatigue or postural strain.
- Prism: Prescribed for patients with binocular vision disorders — conditions where the eyes don’t work together correctly, causing double vision, eye strain, or headaches. Prism lenses shift the perceived position of images to compensate for the misalignment, often providing significant relief when other treatments haven’t resolved the problem.
Specialty Lens Designs
We offer two premium progressive lens technologies that go beyond the standard:
Kodak Infinite
A premium progressive lens designed for smooth, wide-area transitions between distance and near vision. The Kodak Infinite minimizes the peripheral distortion that can make adapting to new progressives frustrating, delivering cleaner optics across a broader field of view. Ideal for patients new to progressives or those who have struggled with adaptation in the past.
Kodak Unique DRO — Dynamic Reading Optimization
Developed in partnership with Essilor, the Kodak Unique DRO features Dynamic Reading Optimization — a technology that widens the near and intermediate zones to maximize reading area and reduce the head movement typically required with standard progressive designs. A strong choice for patients who do significant reading, close work, or digital screen use.
