Recommendation

Corrects for distance and reading only. Nothing in between

Progressive gives you every range of vision but narrow ranges so you need to move your head a lot. Progressives require measurements.  Frames will be sent to you first to get measured and will not come with the prescription lenses installed. You then need to send it back to us with measurements for fulfillment of prescription lenses.

Progressive gives you every range of vision.  Sport Progressive lenses will give a wider field of view for distance with smaller areas for reading and be made with HD digital free form technology. Progressives require measurements.  Frames will be sent to you first to get measured and will not come with the prescription lenses installed. You then need to send it back to us with measurements for fulfillment of prescription lenses.

Corrects for distance vision only. This is the most popular option. For those under age 40, single vision is the best option.  For those over 40, see our FAQ page on why this may also be the best option for you. 

Corrects for distance and reading only. Nothing in between.  Distance is considered 2 feet or more.  Reading is considered 6 to 12 inches.  With bifocals, you’ll lose that in between range of 12 inches to 2 feet.

For those that have a prescription for both distance and reading, progressive “bifocals” allow you to see every possible range. There is also no visible line.  The downside to progressives is that you have a more limited range of vision in each “zone”. Basic progressives will have less peripheral vision and the transition between each distance of power may be more choppy forcing larger head movements to see objects more clearly.  All progressives require measurements.  Frames will be sent to you first to get measured and will not come with the prescription lenses installed. You then need to send it back to us with measurements for fulfillment of prescription lenses.  

For those that have a prescription for both distance and reading, progressive “bifocals” allow you to see every possible range. There is also no visible line.  The downside to progressives is that you have a more limited range of vision in each “zone”.  Better progressives you have less blur area on the periphery so you get a wider range of vision.  The transition is also smoother meaning less head movements needed to find each “zone”.   Our “Better” progressives feature HD digital free form technology.  All progressives require measurements.  Frames will be sent to you first to get measured and will not come with the prescription lenses installed.

For those that have a prescription for both distance and reading, progressive “bifocals” allow you to see every possible range. There is also no visible line.  The downside to progressives is that you have a more limited range of vision in each “zone”.  For sports, we recommend our “Sport” progressive lens.  This is the “best” option for sports use.  Sport Progressive offer a very wide area for distance vision including the best possible peripheral vision.  The areas for intermediate and near are intended more to read a phone or change a flat tire.  The zones will be narrower for the 6 inch to 18 inch range.  Our “Best” progressives feature HD digital free form technology. Progressives require measurements.  Frames will be sent to you first to get measured and will not come with the prescription lenses installed. You then need to send it back to us with measurements for fulfillment of prescription lenses.  If you want the best progressive technology but don’t need to maximize distance (for safety eyewear or other more every day use eyewear), please let us know and we can make that switch for you.

Dark gray tint with polarized filter for extra glare control on water

 Comes with activating drops (one year supply).  Coating stays activated for a few days, and you can rejuvenate the coating with the drops.  Coated on both sides of the lenses (unless you order a mirror or anti-reflective coating--then it is backside only).  Can be added to any tints and mirror coated lenses including photochromics.   If you order a lens that cannot be coated with the specified coating you order, we will substitute for this brand.  

Scratch resistant coating with one year warranty against scratches

The Optifog product with TD2 Scratch coating with a 2 year scratch warranty.  Coating is on both sides of the lenses. This fog coating works in conjunction with an activator cloths that last for about a week. There is no distortion or loss of vision with this activator versus other spray or gel type defoggers. This coating can only be added to clear lenses. No tints or photochromic lenses.  

Our basic fog coating is applied only to the backside of the lenses. It doesn't have to be reactivated but lenses will have a sticky surface. Since it is a low end coating, it does have the tendency to break down faster, and when it breaks down, it will create a cloud over the lens making it unusable.  We don't recommend this option, but know customers want a low cost solution and don't like to have to reactivate lenses.   

Basic anti-reflective coating to prevent distracting glare off lenses. Higher end (Crizal) anti-glare coating is used when combined with fog coating. Higher end coatings include oleophobic and hydrophobic properties
