| Nowadays the choice of different types of lenses can be quite daunting. However, with our close links with all leading lens manufacturers, you have access to superbly designed and finished spectacle lenses. | |||||
| The performance and appearance of your lenses can be enhanced by using: |
| Scratch resistant coatings to enhance the durability of your lenses |
| Anti-reflection coatings to reduce the annoying reflections from the lenses, enhancing vision and also the appearance |
| High Index Material to make the lenses thinner |
| Aspheric surfaces to improve the optics and also keep the lenses as thin as possible |
| Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses to protect the eyes during high impact sports and occupations |
| Photochromic lenses that change colour with the light |
| Sunglass tints to eliminate harmful UV |
| Polarising filters to reduce the reflected glare off water and the road |
| Steeper base curves to fit the wrap-around type spectacle frames |
| Prescriptions can be made in: |
| Single vision form |
| Bifocals of different shapes and sizes to fit in with your requirements |
| Progressive lenses that gradually change power as the eye moves down the lens, to give vision in the distance, intermediate and close ranges. There are many types of progressive lens, some being individually designed for your particular lifestyle requirements, that include single vision, bifocal and progressive lenses specifically for computer or other visual tasks |
| Sports spectacles for heightened performance for sporting tasks |
Our aim is to provide the optimum vision for you in all your different life styles. Our IMPRESSIONS CONSULTING software allows you to consider the performance of different types of multifocal lenses made to your prescription
The prices for the frames and different lens options are clearly displayed by the spectacles. Discounts are available when several pairs of spectacles are ordered to the same prescription at the same time. You can never have too many pairs of spectacles! See also our Eyeplan Reward scheme to give you peace of mind regarding the costs of eye care and eye wear
With Single vision spectacles starting from just £36.00 complete with prescription sunglasses from £46.00, Photochromic spectacles that change colour with the light from £56.00, bifocals from £62.00 and Varifocals £92.00, spectacles are really affordable.
In some cases NHS vouchers are available, to those eligible, following an NHS eye examination. The voucher can then be used towards the cost of spectacles or contact lenses. The value of the voucher is laid down by government and depends on the type of lens required and the prescription. In some cases the voucher will fully cover the cost of our spectacles. In other cases you would pay the difference between the voucher value and the complete cost of the spectacles
