Eyeglass Lenses and Coatings
Lens Materials
The material of a lens affects its weight, durability, and optical clarity. These common options each offer unique benefits.
This plastic lens material offers good optical clarity at an affordable price and is lighter than glass.
Polycarbonate is impact resistant, blocks 100 percent UV light, and is lighter than standard plastic, making it popular for kids and sports eyewear.
Trivex provides the impact protection of polycarbonate with even crisper optics and very light weight.
Glass lenses deliver the highest scratch resistance and beautiful optics but are heavier and more breakable.
High index materials bend light more efficiently, allowing strong prescriptions to be made in much thinner, lighter lenses. They improve comfort and appearance, and they often pair well with an anti-reflective coating to reduce surface reflections created by the dense material.
Lens Coatings and Treatments
Special coatings add protection and convenience, making everyday vision clearer and glasses easier to wear.
A scratch-resistant treatment helps lenses stay clear longer by standing up to daily wear. It is useful for children and anyone who removes glasses throughout the day.
A UV coating acts as an invisible shield that filters ultraviolet A and B rays, reducing the risk of sun-related eye conditions for anyone who spends time outdoors.
Anti-fog treatments keep lenses from misting when you move between temperature changes or wear a mask. Hydrophobic or oleophobic layers repel water, dust, and fingerprints for cleaner vision.
Photochromic lenses automatically darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors, offering convenience to light-sensitive wearers without switching between glasses and sunglasses.
Tinted, mirrored, or polarized lenses alter how light enters the eye. Tints can enhance comfort or style, while polarized lenses cut horizontal glare that reflects off water, snow, or roads.
An anti-reflective coating reduces glare from screens, headlights, and overhead lights, improves night driving, and makes lenses appear almost invisible.
Lens Designs
Lens design refers to how prescription power is arranged within the lens to match your visual tasks. The choices below address different vision needs and daily activities.
Single vision lenses have one prescription power across the entire lens and correct a single vision problem such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Bifocal lenses contain two distinct zones with a visible line, providing distance correction on top and near correction at the bottom.
Progressive lenses are no-line multifocals that offer a smooth transition from distance to intermediate to near vision for natural viewing at all ranges.
Computer or anti-fatigue lenses feature an intermediate zone optimized for screen distance and subtle near support to reduce eye strain during long digital sessions.
Prism lenses shift images so both eyes align comfortably, easing symptoms such as double vision caused by eye muscle imbalance.
Most prescriptions combine spherical power for overall focus with cylindrical power that fine-tunes one meridian to correct astigmatism.
Sports eyewear uses impact-resistant materials, secure frame designs, and sport-specific tints to protect eyes and sharpen contrast during athletic activity.

I have had wonderfully skilled cataract surgery with Dr. Yelena Doych. Virtually no pain, and swift healing. I can see so much better now. Thank you!

When my mom receives injections from Dr. Rho, he is always very gentle with her. I'm grateful to have a doctor like him who truly cares about his patients.
