At Anthony Stanich Optometry we are fully qualified to dispense your spectacle lenses to your individual requirements, we will take time and explain to you all the options available, and advise you on the most suitable option for you.
We use the expertise and precision manufacturing techniques of companies such as Hoya and Essilor to guarantee you receive the utmost in lens quality
Thinner and Lighter
Using up to date technology, we can provide you with lenses which enable all prescriptions to be thinner and lighter, and therefore more comfortable to wear. This perfectly compliments the newer lighter frame materials making spectacles significantly more comfortable to wear.
Lenses may be aspheric which means the lens surface is less curved than a standard lens, the lens gradually changes curvature from the centre of the lens to the edge, giving a lens which is flatter, and therefore thinner, and optically, there are fewer distortions, which mean superior vision through an aspheric lens than a standard lens. The lens looks thinner and is positioned closer to the eyes than a standard lens, a major benefit for anyone with a strong correction.
High index lenses are thinner than standard lenses as a result of the material they are made of. The new material is able to bend light more than standard plastic, resulting in lenses with thinner edges and thinner centres, this means a lighter-weight lens as less material is used. The higher the index of the material, the thinner the lens, the highest indexes are usually used primarily for the strongest prescriptions
Reflection Free
An anti-refection coating results in a lens which gives better vision and looks cosmetically better than a lens without the coating. The lens has a layer of coatings which block reflected light, this results in less glare for example when night driving or using a computer screen, the internal and external reflections on the lenses are also reduced creating a nicer cosmetic appearance. Internal reflections make your lenses look thicker, and external reflections mask your eyes from a clear view when talking to someone. So the anti-reflective coating works to make your lenses look thinner and give you a mre natural appearance.
Scratch Resistant
No lens material is completely scratch proof, however a lens which has been treated front and back with a hard clear coating, does become more resistant to scratching
Transitions Lens
A lens which adapts to meet the changing light conditions we find ourselves in.
The lens is light enough to wear indoors, and when exposed to UV light, is dark enough to protect from sunlight glare outdoors. This lens therefore offers the convenience of sunglass lenses and normal lenses in one, They are available in regular lightweight plastic lens materials as well as thinner high-index lenses, and regardless of lens thickness the colour change is even across the lens
Polarised Lens
This lens will eliminate glare and prevent eye strain in situations of intensive sunlight, making it ideal for fishing, skiing and driving in the wet.
Multifocal Lenses
As we age, the eye loses some of its flexibility, a condition called presbyopia, where focusing at close up distances can become a problem. A multifocal lens gives back the freedom of focusing at various distances while wearing a single pair of glasses. A bifocal lens has a small portion to read through and the remainder is usually for distance, and a progressive lens is a kind of no-line multifocal that incorporates all corrections, from distance to close-up, into one lens without any separation of the visual zones by a line.
