What types of lenses are available for my glasses?
An array of lens options in a variety of materials is
available at Santa Rosa Optometry. Some of the most
common types of lenses include:
High-index
These are thin, lightweight lenses typically used for
higher prescriptions. Unlike other types of lenses,
these have less distortion so you won’t have to worry
about the “Coke bottle” effect that high prescriptions
can create.
Multifocals
If you have separate prescriptions for daily vision,
reading, driving, and working on the computer, you may
need bifocals, trifocals, or progressives. Multifocal
lenses allow you to wear one pair of glasses even when
you need multiple prescriptions.
Polycarbonate
These hard plastic lenses are durable and UV resistant.
They are popular for active people and are often used in
sunglasses.
Transitions
If you work outside or you move in and out of doors
frequently, Transitions® lenses offer comfort and UV
protection. These lenses darken in bright light and then
become clear again when you return to average lighting.
The experienced team at Santa Rosa Optometry will
discuss all of your options so you can choose the best
lenses for your individual needs.
What kind of glasses are best for my child?
Santa Rosa Optometry carries many frames for children,
including hard-to-break designs such as memory metal
frames that can withstand bending and twisting. Choosing
a heavy-duty polycarbonate lens and adding a protective
coating can also help prevent lenses from scratching and
breaking.
Most glasses come with a warranty, so if your child does
break their glasses, it won’t break the bank!
