Anti-Reflective Coatings

Anti-reflective coatings have been around for many years. Their purpose is to eliminate glare and reflections that are inherent in the materials used to make lenses. The major complaint with this technology has been that no matter what is done to clean the lenses, there is a ‘film’ that will not go away. Another complaint has been that this coating will ‘bubble’ over time and peel off. This problem has been erased in recent years, and if your glasses are showing signs of these problems, it’s time to come in and update your glasses! The newest generation of A.R coatings are easy to clean, with on coating actually eliminating static so that it is harder for dust and dirt to stick to the lens! Plus, these new coatings include a scratch coat that will make the lenses more durable and last longer. Many of these coatings carry a two year warranty, so should anything happen to your lenses (driving over them in your car or sitting on them excluded), bring them in for a covered replacement.

Transition Lenses

Have you seen the commercials for eyewear that turns dark when you go outside and lightens up when you go inside? The technology is called ‘Transition Lenses.” It has actually been around for many years but the technology is getting better. They turn darker faster and lighten up faster which makes moving from inside to outside much easier and avoids the problem of having to stand still while your lenses adjust to the light level. It is an excellent option for children, providing them with a built-in pair of sunglasses for when they are outside playing. It is also good for adults, but one important note: the lenses require UV rays in order to activate, and vehicle windshields block UV. This means that they will hardly darken when driving, and as such are not a good option for driving sunglasses. For all other uses they are wonderful!

Progressive Lenses

There has been a huge surge in technology with progressive lenses. This category of lens provides people who are over 40 the ability to see far away and read up close with only one pair of glasses. They are quickly replacing the traditional ‘lined bifocal’ because they look like a typical pair of glasses (no more line in the lens to alert others to our age) and provide a more natural view of the world around us at all distances. Initially this design only allowed for a very narrow area of clear vision and a lot of distortion on the sides. This problem is being reduced every year, and the newest designs now available have only minimal distortion in the far edges of the lens. While this lens design does cost more than the traditional bifocal, it is our design of choice because it allows for a larger range of clear vision and provides a more natural feel.
