These suppliers are the leaders in lens technology constantly researching and modifying their products, so the quality and finish on the lenses is always the best on the market right now.
We are proud to be able to offer you:
The latest thinnest, lightest, and distortion-free lenses available,
- the latest ‘smudge-free’ anti-reflection coatings that are so easy to keep clean,
- the latest photochromic technology from leading lens manufacturers with lenses that darken faster, are darker outside and clearer inside,
- occupational (enhanced near vision) Varifocal lenses which are perfect for the modern VDU workstation,
- a full range of varifocal lenses – including ‘short corridor’ lenses so you can enjoy the benefits of varifocal lenses in modern, shallow, fashion frames, and
- Strict quality control in our laboratory, and adherence to British Standards.
Every person has their own visual needs.
This has never been more important than with varifocals.
Varifocals are available in many different designs, and qualities of lenses can vary greatly. We will advise you of the most suitable for your needs and budget, but these images can help to give a visual representation of the differences.
Explore transition Lenses – sun lenses that protect your eyes.
Photochromic lenses quickly adjust and adapt in changing light to help protect from the sun’s rays.
If you have a single lens that you wear all the time or spectacles that are worn only for driving or reading, you can still benefit from great lens designs.
Selecting the correct material, curvature and design will reduce potential eye fatigue, and provide superior optical clarity, and create a more visually comfortable pair of spectacles.
It has to be noted that correct measurement and centration of all spectacle lenses is paramount. Having our own in-house laboratory helps us maintain standards and comply with current British and European Standards.
Finishing touches.
Technological advancement has meant that lenses can now be treated to protect them from whatever the modern world may throw at them.
Improve clarity and remove glare.
The most important coating is one that reduces reflections. Anti-reflective coatings decrease reflections on the lens surfaces, allowing more light to pass through, making them look better and produce less glare.

These benefits are particularly noticeable when driving at night or using a computer screen. Wearers often report that their eyes are less tired, an improvement in contrast and therefore visual activity.

The latest anti-reflective coatings also have additional layers that repel water and grease, this makes them harder wearing and easier to clean.
Make them tough.
Whether it’s for protection or style, modern plastic lenses can be tough. Gone are the days when the only choice was polycarbonate. You can now have superb optical clarity whilst maintaining strength for rimless frame styles.
Lenses can even be made with high impact resistance (withstanding impact of 1kg steel ball dropped from height of 1.2m). Particularly useful in many sports, or protection from the roughest of children.
Extreme curvature for extreme sports.
Individual tailor-made lenses can now be made in many prescriptions and allow the use of sports curved sunglasses. This allows for great vision and fashionable styles you have only dreamt of!
Enhance your near vision
Why not make life easier with Occupational or flexible reading glasses?

The latest lens designs allow for the combination of near and intermediate work. These images show how lenses can be designed around you and your specific tasks or needs.
