| We are proud to have all of our opticians on our staff
nationally certified by the American Board of Opticianry. They each bring a unique set of
skills to our practice and continue to update their knowledge with continuing education.
They would be happy to demonstrate any of these impressive new breakthrough lens products
now available.
Spectacle Lens Options
Crizal
Anti-Reflective Coatings. AR coatings were first developed in the 1930's. Even
though they dramatically improved the efficiency of light transmittance through a lens,
these coatings were only used on optical instruments such as cameras and microscopes
because they were too fragile to be reliable on everyday items such as glasses. Crizal is a new AR coating that is so
tough you can't scratch it with steel wool. Now everyone can enjoy the benefits of durable
AR coated lenses. AR coatings improve your vision by removing unwanted glare and
reflections. This is especially beneficial in night driving.
High-Index Super Thin Lenses: New materials allow us to fabricate
lenses thinner and lighter than ever before. The newest of these have improved optical
qualities and yield a larger usable lens area than the first generation polycarbonate
lenses. Combined with an AR coating in a small, fashionable frame, even high prescriptions
look great.
Progressive Addition Lenses: New designs of these
"invisible" bifocals are easier to adapt to and provide a range of vision from
near to far without the need for lines in your glasses. We now have progressive lens
designs to fit even the smallest frame styles. Our office uses only the highest quality
progressives available to provide optimum vision performance.
Polarized Lenses: These are the ultimate in sunglass lens design.
Polarized lenses not only reduce light transmission, they also reduce glare. Only
polarized lenses can eliminate unwanted glare and also provide 100% protection against the
sun's harmful UV rays.
Transitions Lenses: The latest advance in "variable" tint
plastic lens is Transitions Lenses. This lens is photo-chromic in that it reacts to UV
light from the sun. In high UV light (outside) they darken; in low UV light (inside) they
lighten. Transitions lenses are the ideal choice for the active individual,
providing the versatility of having 2 pairs of glasses in one! Transitions lenses also provide 100% UV protection.
Frames. Our stylish dispensary has over 450 frames from which to
make your selection of eyewear. Some of the manufacturers we carry include Modo, Nautica, Safilo and Silhouette. We
pride ourselves on our diverse frame collection, which allows us to service the needs and
tastes of all age groups. |
