| Spectacle Lenses
Up until now you might not have given
much thought to your lenses. To many people, selecting
spectacles is all about choosing a frame, but it’s
worth remembering that it is the lenses that enable
you to see clearly!
In simplistic terms, lenses come in
three formats, single vision, bifocal and varifocal
all of which offer very different functions to the wearer.

Single vision lenses
In 99% of cases, this is what the
first time spectacle wearer will require. As the
phrase suggests, single vision lenses offer a single
focal power and correct close-up or distance vision. Typically,
single-vision lenses are worn for reading if you are
long sighted and for distance if you are short sighted.
Bifocal lenses
There will come a time in your life
when you may need glasses to improve both close-up and
distance vision. One option is to carry two pairs
of spectacles around but this is inconvenient and frustrating. Bifocals
are two lenses in one, enabling the wearer to see clearly
at close-up and distance, but not in between.
Varifocal lenses
Sometimes known as “bifocals
without the lines”, Varifocals are, in fact, much
more as they offer complete vision at all distances
including intermediate and look better cosmetically.
