Eyewear has been in style all season, from simple frames to thick and outlandish styles. Each pair of glasses can be customised with superior lenses that match your prescription and protect your eyes. There are various types of lenses that are available in a multitude of materials, technologies and coatings ranging from blue protect to night driving and anti-glare lenses.?
In this article we break it down for you based on your need for eyewear assistance and protection!
Blue Block Lenses
Blue block lenses or blue cut lenses are used to protect your eyes from harmful blue light which comes from digital screens and exposure to sunlight. They help block blue light coming from laptops or mobile phones. Such lenses are extremely useful while working or watching television in the dark. They help the eyes from straining and irritation. They can give you relief from visual fatigue.
Adaptive Lenses
Adaptive lenses help protect the eyes from ultraviolet rays. Shifting from sunglasses to spectacles while going in and out can be difficult for some. But choosing Adaptive lenses can solve all your problems. These lenses when fitted in spectacles will turn dark when exposed to sunlight. These are the perfect choice of lenses if you are wearing prescription glasses, and don’t want to switch glasses when you need protection from sunlight while outdoors. Making life super seamless. These are now available in a multitude of colours too! Take your pick from a series of blues, violets, greens, browns and greys.?
Anti-Glare Lenses
Anti-glare lenses are specially designed for those who spend most of the time outdoors. Coatings in such lenses are applied on both the sides of the lens or are built into the lens to protect your eyes from the light going through it. Such lenses have many advantages such as protection from UV rays, glare and blue light plus increase in visual clarity, enhanced colour and increase in the life of lenses. These lenses are best suited when worn during sunlight hours.?
UV Protection
Lenses with UV protection effectively prevent ultraviolet light entering your eyes. While most UV light is blocked by standard plastic eyeglass lenses, adding this invisible UV-blocking dye to your lenses assures that you are completely protected. All standard branded lenses, by default, provide UV protection.?
