Selecting the proper lens material for your new glasses
We make the choice easy for the the right lens material for your custom-made prescription eyewear.
We offer two lens materials - Polycarbonate or High Index 1.67. The key to making your decision is found in your vision prescription. Look to the first column of vision numbers under the title "SPHERE". If you see numbers that are between +4.00 to -4.00 then Polycarbonate lenses will be right for you. They will produce thin, lightweight and impact-resistant lenses.
On the other hand, if your numbers in the SPHERE column are beyond +4.00 to -4.00 range, then we recommend you select High Index 1.67 lens material because High Index lenses are a specialty lens material that can produce the thinnest and lightest weight lenses possible - even for stronger power corrections.
All of our top quality lens materials come with premium Anti-Reflection coatings that are applied in-house at our state-of-the-art lab in Southern California. Premium Anti-Reflection coatings knock down irritating bounce-back reflections for a more comfortable and clear view, plus they also feature hydrophobic and oleophobic properties that help to keep your lenses clean longer - and make it easier to clean them when they do get smudged.

What are progressive glasses, who needs them and how do they help people see more clearly
Progressive glasses are typically prescribed to individuals who have difficulty seeing both near and far. This condition is known as presbyopia and it usually occurs as people age. Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process and typically begins to develop around the age of 40. If you find yourself holding things further away to read or switching glasses frequently, you may be a candidate for progressive glasses.

Extended Vision™ reading glasses are custom-made computer glasses that are optimized for the most comfortable vision for your up-close and middle-distance vision zones - producing a seamless, clear view of everything from 6 inches to 6 feet with our EV6, or up to 20 feet with our EV20, or wherever you need to see with our EVinfinity.
