Custom Prescription Lenses

Your lenses are an important part of how your glasses perform. Our lenses are made based on your prescription and can be tailored to your vision needs. Whether you spend a lot of time driving at night, working on a computer, reading, or doing a combination of these activities, we can help you choose lens options that fit your needs.

• Single vision: Clear vision for one distance, either near or far.
• Progressive lenses: Smooth multi-distance vision without visible lines.
• Anti-glare coating / AR coating: Anti-glare coating can reduce glare and light reflections. It may improve visibility while driving at night and help when viewing a computer screen.
• Blue light filtering: Screen-focused comfort for heavy device use.
• High-index lenses: Thinner and lighter lenses for stronger prescriptions.
• Photochromic / Transitions lenses: Lenses that change from light to dark in sunlight to help improve visual comfort, if available.
• Prescription sunglasses: Prescription lenses with tint and UV protection for everyday outdoor use or as a backup pair for bright days.

Replace Lenses in Your Existing Frames

You do not always need to get a completely new pair of glasses to update your prescription. Our experienced opticians can install new prescription lenses into your current frames when the frames are suitable.

We can also replace lenses in many existing frames, including designer eyewear. Our staff will inspect your current frames to confirm whether they are suitable for new lenses. We will help determine the best lens options for you and make sure the new lenses are fitted properly for a precise and comfortable fit.

Similar to purchasing a new pair of glasses, replacing the lenses in your current frames gives you access to a wide range of prescription lens options while allowing you to keep frames you already like.

• Keep your current frames
• Upgrade to new prescription lenses
• Improve clarity and comfort
• Explore options like progressive or high-index lenses

If your frames are suitable for new prescription lenses, we will explain the available options so you can choose what works best for your vision and lifestyle.

Personalized Fitting

Our job as opticians is to make sure your glasses fit comfortably and sit properly on your face throughout the day. We use precise measurements to fit your lenses to your frames and help ensure that your glasses are accurate and comfortable.

A good pair of glasses should be aligned properly, sit comfortably, and avoid putting too much pressure on your nose or ears. We also check that your frames are the proper size for your face and head to help prevent slipping or discomfort.
