Lens Index
A higher lens index can reduce lens thickness for stronger prescriptions. Final thickness also depends on the prescription, pupillary distance, frame size and shape, and lens design.

Prescription Lenses
Not sure which lens type matches your prescription? The options below explain the most common types of prescription lenses and the vision needs they are designed to address.
Lenses for Nearsightedness
Single-vision distance lenses can correct myopia. On an eyeglass prescription, the sphere (SPH) value for myopia usually begins with a minus sign (−).

Bifocal Lenses
Bifocal lenses combine distance vision correction in the upper portion with near vision correction in a lower segment. Prescriptions for bifocals usually include an ADD value.

Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses provide a gradual transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision without the visible segment line found in traditional bifocals.

Lens coatings and enhancements can add durability, reduce reflections, change lens color, or improve performance in specific lighting conditions.
Anti Scratch Coating
A scratch-resistant coating helps protect lenses from minor everyday wear. It improves durability, but it does not make lenses completely scratch-proof.
Anti Reflective Coating
Anti-reflective coating, also called AR or anti-glare coating, reduces reflections from the lens surfaces and can improve clarity, especially in low-light conditions.
Color Tint Coating
Tinted lenses add color to prescription or non-prescription lenses. Available colors and tint depths depend on the selected lens material and option.
Light Adjusting Coating
Photochromic lenses darken when exposed to ultraviolet light and return toward clear indoors. They are convenient for customers who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments.
Polarized Coating
Polarized lenses reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as roads, water, and snow, making them a popular option for driving and outdoor activities.
Mirrored Tint Coating
Mirrored lenses use a reflective surface treatment to reduce the amount of visible light entering the eyes. They are commonly selected for bright outdoor conditions and sports.
