These advanced technology lenses offer a number of benefits over conventionally surfaced lenses. Unlike conventional lenses, HD lenses are manufactured using digital computer technology and diamond-cutting tools that allow the lenses' surface to be customized to an individual's eyes.

Polycarbonate lenses are the most durable and impact-resistant lenses we offer, and they come with a 100% UV-protective coating. If you are looking for glasses for children, or tend to spend your time outside, we strongly recommend polycarbonate lenses.

People who already achieve 20/20 vision with corrective lenses but have problems with glare or visual distinction are most likely to benefit from HD glasses. At the same time, just about anybody who uses prescription lenses should see some benefit, if minor, to their visual experience with HD glasses.

HD glasses give you the best vision possible. The result is you see every detail the way it's meant to be seen - with increased clarity, vivid colors, and, defined details. While HD lenses are a great option for single vision prescriptions (nearsighted or farsighted), they do even more for progressive lens wearers.

When you choose frames with characteristics opposite those of your face shape, for example round and cat-eye glasses, you won't exaggerate an already-angular look. Opt for a glasses style with rims wider than they are tall, in a neutral color - beige, cream, or taupe - to make your face appear slimmer and softer.

Three basic types of lenses: normal, telephoto and wide angle and their respective lens focal length. The normal lens is a standard lens for everyday use.

The most expensive lenses for glasses are typically high-index, progressive, and polarized lenses. High-index lenses are made from special materials that allow for thinner and lighter lenses, which can be more expensive.

As with HD television, HD lenses aim to make the picture sharper and more in focus, regardless of what lighting condition you are in. They have proven to be extremely helpful in reducing glare for nighttime driving, which is something many people struggle with as they get older.

Low Vision Eyeglass Options May Include:

• Bioptic Telescopic Glasses.
• Low Vision Magnifying Reading Glasses.
• Prismatic Eyeglasses.
• E-Scoop Glasses.
• Special Binoculars Or Telescopes.
• Personalized Optical Systems That Use Microscopic And Telescopic Lenses.
• Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Magnifiers.

Rectangular frames: Break up the face structure, which can make your face appear longer and thinner. Angular and geometric frames: Add some sharper, more distinct lines to your face in order to create a balance.

By adding contrast, you'll make your round face appear thinner and longer. Glasses with strong angles and lines will add definition to your face and downplay the fullness in your cheeks.

The two most common types of lenses are concave and convex lenses, which are illustrated below in Figure 1. A common bi-convex lens is considered a positive lens because it causes light rays to converge, or concentrate, to form a real image.

It can be quite overwhelming in the early stages of getting into photography when you find out just how many types of camera lens there are. Fortunately, camera lenses can be broken down into two types, zoom lenses and prime lenses.

The most expensive lenses are bifocal or multifocal lenses or those correcting for astigmatism (irregular corneal shape) or presbyopia (farsightedness related to age).

They may scratch and even shatter more easily than their other counterparts, but there are usually anti-scratch coatings that can be added if necessary. Reflective. In addition to being brittle, high-index lenses are more reflective than other materials, posing problems with being in the sun as they can cause glare.
