digital vs traditional
DIGITAL Lenses for Glasses:
Also known as High Definition, refers to the advance manufacturing lenses for glasses that uses computer-managed technology and surfacing to create high-level, customized eyeglass lenses with your unique prescription.
Digital lenses are computer-controlled surfacing equipment that uses precise scanning technology. This technology is much more precise than conventional tools. Therefore, image quality is more superior.
Advantages of digital lenses
Sharper image quality
Improves intermediate and peripheral vision
Improves contrast sensitivity
Reduce glare for night time driving
Customized for specific prescription and frames
Conventional or traditional lenses
Conventional or traditional lenses were produced with a multi-step, labor-intensive process that required much more time and multiple pieces of equipment to produce a lens.
Vision with conventional lenses can be clearer in the center of the lens but as your eye looks away from the center or toward the periphery, your vision begins to get blurry.
HIGH INDEX LENSES
Thinner, Lighter and Stylish Lenses
Lens index is a number that describes how thick or thin your lenses are. The higher a lens index is, the thinner it becomes. High index lenses are the thinnest, flattest and stylish lens ever made.
Who needs high index lenses?
They are usually recommended for people who have higher correction needs. High index lenses allow people with stronger prescriptions to wear a lens that is lightweight, thin and more stylish.
Do you have a high prescription that distorts the appearance of your face and weighs heavenly on your nose? High-index lenses are the right choice if you want thinner, lighter lenses that are as attractive and comfortable as possible.
Most of today’s modern frames are made of plastic or metal with rims thinner than the lens itself. Most trendy rimless mountings also mean that the edges of the lenses are completely visible. In either case visible, and thicker edges can decrease from the appearance of your eyewear.
The difference between your glasses lens index can make a huge impact. Deciding which you should get depends on your prescription and lifestyle.
Photochromic
or Transitional Lenses
TRANSITIONAL lenses
Do you wear glasses and are familiar with the struggle of dealing with the sun. You have to switch over from both your glasses and sunglasses wherever you go. Perhaps a manageable option is to wear glasses with photochromic or “transition” lenses. These special lenses darken in the sun, outdoors, then lighten up when you are indoors.
Photochromic lenses
Photochromic lenses are optical lenses that darken on exposure to particular types of light of adequate strength, most commonly UV the radiation. Without light, the lenses return to their normal clear state. Photochromic lenses may be made of glass, polycarbonate, or another plastic.
Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses are multifocal lenses with progressive addition power that changes from top to bottom. Multifocal Lenses have three viewing areas, each one provides clear vision at distance, intermediate and near.
Many people confuse the terms “bifocal” or “trifocal” with “progressive,” but it is key to remember that bifocals and trifocals have a visible line in the lens, while progressives are line free.
advantages of progressive lenses
For most people, progressive lenses are more beneficial than traditional bifocals or trifocals lenses since they:
Eliminate image jump caused by bifocals and trifocals
They work in smaller frames, helping you keep up a youthful appearance.
They provide a more natural view for people suffering from age-related vision loss.
They provide clear vision on objects at any distance.
They provide more comfort for active wear
Who needs progressives lenses?
Usually prescribed for people over the age of 40. As a normal part of aging our vision tends to progressively decline. Consequently, we develop presbyopia. Intermediate and near objects are difficult to see and we need different glasses to view at different distances. Progressive lenses provide vision at different distances all in one lens.
