Spectacle Lenses

We advise you of the best spectacle lens for your circumstances taking the prescription into account. We are Essilor specialists, and can also supply lenses from Zeiss, Nikon, Hoya and Seiko.

Lenses are supplied mainly in plastic due to its light weight and the safety advantages of the material. However, lenses can be glazed in glass should you prefer. The lenses can be single vision, bifocals, trifocal or multifocal design and in a range of different materials depending on the thickness of the required lens. The lenses can be clear, tinted or photochromic/transitions (lenses that darken in the sunlight). 

An anti-reflection coating can be added to both glass and plastic lenses. This reduces reflections off the lens surfaces which can benefit drivers and VDU users, in addition to enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the lenses. 

We also offer a myopia management option. The Stellest lenses offer a unique design to reduce peripheral blur and reduce the stimulus for the eye to elongate, aiming to reduce the progression of short sightedness.
