Which lens is for me?
Here at The Glasses Company, choose your brand new glasses at a fraction of the high street cost. You can save an average of 65% on the cost of your prescription lenses. We have a laboratory, technicians and a team of opticians onsite.
WHEN YOU BUY YOUR GLASSES, YOU WILL NEED TO CHOOSE:
The type of lenses you require – varifocal, reading, distance, computer etc.
The lens package you require
Whether you would like additional coating – like transition lenses, digital protection or tints
TYPES OF LENSES:
Single Vision
The simplest and most common form of prescription lenses. The whole lens will contain a single uniform power to make a correction. This means glasses with these types of lenses can be used for only one of three things:
Near vision – eg. Reading
Intermediate – eg. Computer work
Distance – eg. Driving
Bifocals
A single lens with two segments – normally with the upper part of the lens for distance and the lower part for reading. Although bifocal lenses do have a separating line, they still allow users to have a single pair for both reading and distance unlike with single vision lenses where one frame maybe required for distance and another one for reading.
Ideal for people who:
Have had bifocals before
Are recommended bifocals by an optician
Want one pair to see both near and distance
Have different prescription for near and distance
Varifocals
A single lens which allows clear vision at near and at distance without the separating line of bifocal lenses.
The varifocals we sell are exactly the same as you would find on a high street store, just at half the price. We use only premium lens manufacturers that are tried and tested – based in either the UK or Germany based on your prescription requirements.
The better the quality of the varifocal lens you choose, the better the clarity you will get. You will get a less distortion between the reading part, intermediate part and distance part of the lens.
