Lenses

With so many choices out there, knowing what to ask for when you see your eye doctor and optician may seem confusing. For instance, many people think all they can expect from their glasses is vision correction. But you can - and should - expect more from your eyeglass lenses. Below are some questions that can help you find the lens technologies and features that will be most important to you.

Do you have a strong prescription?

You don't need to wear those coke bottles lenses anymore! Thick lenses can now be made into thinner, flatter hi-index lenses.

Have trouble seeing up close?

Progressive lenses provide distance, midrange, and near vision, with all the in-between corrections.

Reading glasses can help. Discerning Eye carries a large selection of fashionble reading glasses.

Do you use a computer often?

Discerning Eye offers lenses created just for computer use. Our office and computer lenses relieve both eyestrain and tiredness.

Bothered by reflection in your lenses?

Light bouncing off fluorencent lights and computer screens can cause eye fatigue.  If you drive at night, the glare of oncoming headlights can be distracting and dangerous.  Anti-reflective lens treatments can make a real difference.

Here at Discerning Eye, we believe high-quality AR treatments are so important they are included with every lens we sell.

Active in sports?

Durrability and eye protection are a must.  Polycarbonate and the technologically advanced Phoenix lenses could be what you are looking for.

Looking for sunglasses?

Polarized sunglasses reduce surface glare from any flat reflective surface including water, snow, cars, and pavement.

Not all sunglasses are created equal! Maui Jim's patented Polarized Plus technology actually offers more protection than standard polarized sunglasses.
