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.

How to Choose the Right Extended Vision Reader
If you’ve ever wondered why your reading glasses work great for your phone but fall apart when you look at your computer screen—or why your progressives feel awkward at your desk—you’re not alone. As our days bounce between screens, documents, and the spaces around us, one pair of “reading glasses” isn’t always enough.
A Different Way To Reader
Disappointed with cheap reading glasses that can't focus clearly between your phone and your computer screen? Expect more from your reading glasses when you step up to Extended Vision readers by Lens & Frame Co. with lenses that are custom-made to your measurements using the same lens designs and multi-layer anti-reflection coatings as top-shelf Rx Computer Progressives.
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.
