Crizal – Crizal anti-reflective lenses are a clear improvement over glare.
-
For work – long hours in front of a computer screen and harsh fluorescent lighting can really make for tired eyes. In clinical studies, Crizal lenses were proven to dramatically reduce eye fatigue caused by the light reflections that create glare.
-
For night driving – with ordinary lenses, headlights from other vehicles and streetlights create distracting double images that can wear on your eyes. Clinical studies show that Crizal lenses reduce the glare caused by bright oncoming headlights. So they not only help you feel better, they can also help provide a safer drive.
-
For good looks – another great advantage to wearing Crizal lenses is the way they make you look. People can clearly see your eyes, without all the reflections. And the better you look, the better you feel.
- Cleaning – fingerprints and smudges have been a challenge for previous anti-reflective lenses. But not for Crizal. This unique, advanced technology makes cleaning a breeze.

Lens Menu
-
 Thinner, flatter lenses are recommended when a prescription is either 'high-minus', meaning lenses are thicker at the outer edges, or 'high-plus', when lenses are thicker in the middle. Flatter lenses enhance lens appearance by reducing edge or center thickness. They are lighter weight and can provide edge-to-edge visual clarity by utilizing an aspheric or atoric design.
-
Sports lenses come in many designs, colors, and treatments for every sport. Safety is the key with sports eyewear, so tough, high impact resistant lenses are most commonly recommended.
-
Polarized lenses are the top pick for eliminating glare. Hunters, boaters and fishermen, golfers and drivers are a few who benefit from polarized lens’ glare-cutting properties. Any surface can create glare in sunlight, including water, sand, snow, windows, vehicles, and buildings. Polarization eases eye stress and fatigue in the sun, and comes in several color and density options.
-
UV protection lens treatment – the sun’s ultraviolet rays pose potential harm to your eyes. UV protection on lenses accomplishes the same thing as sunscreen lotion on your skin – it shields your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. Plastic and glass lenses may require UV coating, while high index and high impact resistant lenses provide UV protection inherently in the lens material.
-
High impact resistant lenses – dispensers recommend high impact resistant lenses for two good reasons: they are lightweight, yet are the most impact resistant lenses available. Your optician will likely suggest high impact resistant lenses for children, teens, active adults, occupational safety, and anyone needing superior eye protection.

Our highly qualified team of licensed opticians will be happy to explain and demonstrate lens materials, designs and treatments that are most appropriate to your lifestyle and needs.
