Single Vision – Are you near-sighted or far-sighted? If you need glasses for one of these purposes, you should opt for single vision.
-
Bifocal – If you are both near- and far-sighted, bifocals offer two focuses that help you with both issues. However, because of the thin line that runs through the lens, most people opt for a more attractive progressive lens.
-
Trifocal – This offers three focal lengths, including an intermediary length.
-
Progressive – Progressive lenses are essentially bifocals without the separating line.

Reading glasses
-
PD Measurement-This is your pupillary distance measurement, an extremely important number that we need to ensure your lenses are perfectly tailored to your eyes. Because lenses are slightly curved, the PD measurement allows us to ensure that the optical center of the lens is exactly where it should be.
-
Preferred Lens Type – There are several different types of lenses to choose from in the categories of treatments and thickness.
-
Treatments – If you want to eliminate glare in your designer glasses, opt for an AR (anti-reflective) coating on your lenses, or if you are prone to accidents, ask for scratch-resistant coating. You may also want to try out transition lenses, which become tinted when in contact with ultraviolet light to protect your eyes from the sun.
-
Thickness – There are three types of lenses to choose from that vary in thickness. First, regular lenses are the thickest and work for just about anyone, especially for those who just want reading glasses. Polycarbonate lenses are a bit thinner and are appropriate for younger wearers or for those who are involved in high-impact activities, as they are made to be shock-resistant. Lastly, High Index lenses are the thinnest and lightest you can get, thus are also the most comfortable.
