Eyeglass Lenses Selecting the right eyeglass lenses depends largely on their function. From single vision lenses to progressive polycarbonate lenses, including anti-reflective lenses, we are happy to help you find what best suits your needs. Regardless of your situation, Dr. Lynn Burford can determine which types of prescription lenses will work best for your comfort, function, and design. Frame Styles When choosing a frame, the shape and size should enhance the color of your eyes, complement your skin tone, and highlight the best features of your face shape. Most people need more than one pair of eyeglasses, such as one for everyday wear and another for outdoor activities, like sunglasses styles. Having different frame styles for various activities and moods makes wearing glasses more enjoyable.
Sunglasses come in a wide variety of styles and lens options, allowing you to customize your shades to meet your visual, protection, performance, and comfort needs. Quality sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is present even on cloudy days. Opting for quality sunwear ensures 100 percent UV protection, significantly reducing the risk of vision problems like cataracts and retinal damage. Additionally, if you wear prescription lenses, you can often find sunglasses that accommodate these needs.
Glare can make it difficult to see objects clearly by washing out colors and details, but this issue can be effectively addressed with polarized lenses. When viewed through polarized lenses, a scene appears with deeper, richer colors and clearer, more distinct details. Furthermore, these lenses help to minimize squinting, thereby reducing eye fatigue, tension, and eyestrain. For those who prefer both style and functionality, exploring various sunglasses styles that incorporate anti-reflective lenses can also enhance your outdoor experience.
Anti-Reflective Lenses
Wearers of prescription glasses and sunglasses styles commonly encounter annoying glare and reflections caused by light bouncing off their lenses. This glare makes it more challenging to see, especially at night. Anti-reflective lenses minimize these reflections, allowing more light to pass through to your eyes.
All lens surfaces naturally reflect light, and this reflection can hinder seven to 14 percent of the light necessary for optimal vision. Wearing non-AR prescription lenses is akin to trying to read a book in a dimly lit room. Since anti-reflective lenses permit more light to reach your eyes by reducing reflections, it’s like turning up the lights in a room, ensuring a clearer view.
