Guide to Our Glasses Lens

Discover the array of lenses available for your new pair of glasses, covering different prescription types, materials, and more!

 

 

LENS BENEFITS

Included with each prescription pair at no additional cost:

   

Left: Spherical lens, Right: Aspherical lens

  • Aspheric lens

Spherical lenses, shaped like balloons, are cost-effective and easy to produce. However, they might result in blurriness around the edges. On the other hand, aspheric lenses, resembling rippling waves, may be a bit more challenging and expensive to make, but they provide clarity from the center to the edges. We're proud to offer aspheric lenses as a standard option.

  • Scratch-resistant treatment

Also known as a hard coating, this treatment enhances the durability of your lenses and minimizes scratches. Without it, your lenses may easily get scratched even when cleaning the lens.

  • Anti-reflective coating

This coating reduces reflections and eliminates glare, easing eye strain and prolonging the lifespan of your lenses.

  • Superhydrophobic coating

This coating repels water and stains, especially fingerprints. Interestingly, while regular lenses may retain marks from oil-based pens, lenses with this coating won't, instead forming droplets.

 

  • UV protection

Our lenses block 100% of UV rays, protecting your eyes from harmful radiation.

 

  • Blue light blocking

Blue light, emitted by screens like computers, laptops, and TVs, falls within the range of 380-500 nanometers. Unlike UV light, blue light doesn't feel as intense, making it easy to overlook.

PRESCRIPTION TYPES

We offer options to meet a variety of vision needs:

  • Single-vision

These lenses correct one field of vision—near, intermediate, or distance. Included in the price of our frames, starting at USD55.

  • Readers

Offering simple magnification for reading, no prescription necessary. This option costs an additional USD20.

  • Non-prescription

Non-prescription lenses come with our frames with no-option lenses.

  

LENS TYPES

Add-on options include:

  • Light-responsive (Color options available)

These lenses transition from fully clear to a darker tint (grey, brown) when exposed to UV rays, reducing glare and preventing eye strain. They also provide 100% UV ray blockage. This option costs an additional USD70~100.

  

LENS MATERIALS

High-index options for a range of prescriptions:

  • 1.60 high-index

A durable, all-around option. This option costs an additional USD55.

  • 1.67 high-index

Recommended for strong prescriptions (+/-4.0 or higher total power), these lenses are up to 30% thinner than our 1.60 lenses. This option costs an additional USD75.

  • 1.74 high-index

Recommended for very strong prescriptions (-8.0 or higher total power), these lenses are up to 10% thinner than 1.67 high-index lenses. This option costs an additional USD95.
