High Index Lenses

Looking good with High Index Lenses.
When choosing your eye wear, it is important to consider both the frames and lenses which will combine to make a stylish pair of spectacles. High Index lenses are thinner and flatter than conventional lenses – which means they look better and feel better for you!
The cosmetic benefits of  High Index Lenses do not compromise the visual benefits you would expect from a high quality lens.  High quality High Index lenses are coated with anti-reflective coating as standard which reduces glare and dazzle while protecting your lenses from scratching and gives you UV protection.
Some High Index Lenses are available in single vision and progressive lenses with a range of tints, including  photo-chromatic variable tints which are clear indoors but darkens in sunlight to give maximum comfort for your eyes.

There are literally hundreds of lens types which all make compromises on weight, strength, shatter proof, thickness, flatness, optical quality, ability to transmit light and ultimately price.

Our qualified dispensing opticians and optometrists can help you navigate this complexity and help you find the best lens that is most suitable for you, your life style and your pocket.   What is important to remember is that all lenses are not the same and invariably you pay for what you get.
