The lenses in your glasses should be doing more than just correcting your vision.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks to modern lens coatings, your lenses can now:
✅Reduce exposure to harmful blue light from digital screens
✅Minimize glare and light reflections to enhance clarity of vision (and improve cosmetic appearance!)
✅Automatically adjust to protect your eyes from sunlight and UV rays
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many lenses now include some (or all) of these benefits in one lens! These multifunctional nano layers reduce the total thickness of the lenses while improving your experience and protection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Come in and let our talented team share more about what you can expect from your lenses.
