Eyewear FAQ

What are Single Vision lenses?
This all-purpose lens is available in all material and provides vision correction for one viewing area. The corrected area can be for far distance or near distance

What are Multifocals lenses?
These will be recommended when you require correction for both distance and new viewing areas in one single pai of glasses. Available as no-line progressives, bifocals, and trifocals.

Do I need UV protection?
The sun's ultraviolet rays pose potential harm to your eyes. We recommend UV protection on all our lenses. UV filters for your lenses accomplish the same thing as sunscreen does for skin - shields your eyes from harmful UV rays. A 'must-have' for adults and children to promote healthy vision.

What are No-Line Progressives?
These lenses are designed to allow you to see at distance (driving a vehicle), intermediate (looking at the dashboard), and near (reading a map) with no lines or sections. The absence of bifocal lines makes this lens the most desirable cosmetically. You will also enjoy continuous vision from far to near with this lens design.

Tell me about Anti-Reflective coatings.
This is a special coating that reduces distracting reflections. The results are: more transmitted light, better quality of vision, improved night vision, and reduced eye fatigue. Great for working on a computer and driving at night, these lenses also offer a comsetically appealing "invisible lens look" that makes the lens "disappear" and shows your eyes more clearly.

Tell me about polarized lenses.
This is the best option for eliminating glare. Hunters, boaters, fishermen, golfers, and drivers are just a few who can benefit from polarized lens' glare blocking properties. Any surface can create glare in sunlight. Available in different colors, materials, and designs.

With your eyesight being so important and your eyes working so hard, you need to take the time to select the best vision solutions for you and your lifestyle. Look to Dr. Marks and staff for further information and guidance.
