Quality in Lenses
We believe the provider has the strongest incentive to ensure that the lenses manufactured for his or her patients are made correctly. With EyeMed, providers have control to determine the best lens to recommend to the patient. Providers know who they can count on for top-quality products and services and EyeMed allows them to manage this very important quality component.
Not all lenses are alike. Your provider will help you select the lenses with features that are best for you.
Select the Lenses to Fit Your Needs
The type of lens your doctor recommends will be based largely on your prescription, as well as your lifestyle.
- Single vision: Lenses that correct one vision defect. The correction may be for nearsightedness or farsightedness, or a simple reading correction.
- Bifocals and trifocals: Lenses for those with a visual condition such as presbyopia that requires more than one distance of focus. Bifocals offer two areas of focus, and trifocals offer three areas of focus.
- Lenticular: Lenses prescribed for those who have a specific lens requirement, making the lens heavier or thicker. The lenticular lens design helps reduce the thickness, making the lens more cosmetically and functionally appealing.
- Progressives: No-line multifocal lenses, which provide the needed correction for multiple focal lengths, but do not have a visible seam, or line, in the lenses.
Lens Options
Your lenses can be enhanced for optimal vision comfort by the following lens options:
- Anti-reflective coating: Reduces glare on the surface of the lens, enabling people to see your eyes clearly; also reduces reflected glare of headlights to improve nighttime driving.
- Tinted lenses (solid or gradient): Lenses made with coatings applied to the lens material to reduce the amount of light entering the eye.
- Polycarbonate lens material: Makes lenses up to ten times stronger and approximately thirty percent lighter.
- Scratch-resistant coating: A protective coating applied directly to the lens material that greatly reduces the potential for normal scratching of the lenses, reducing lens distortion.
- UV (Ultraviolet) coating: Protects eyes from the potentially harmful ultraviolet rays generated from the sun or other light sources.
