  • Prescription Lenses Type

    SINGLE VISION LENS

    Distance Wear Lenses: These are worn by people who cannot see objects clearly in the distance. This type of prescription is usually worn for driving, cinema, sports and other outdoor activities.

    Reading Lenses: If you need optical correction for looking at material close-up, such as reading, typing, and working at the desk, then you require reading lenses.

    Computer Vision Lenses: These single lens options help to alleviate computer vision syndrome (CVS), which typically includes eye strain, dry eyes, blurred vision, eye fatigue and neck or back pain resulting from working in front of a computer for prolonged periods of time.

    Plano (No Prescription) Lenses: Plano lenses do not contain a corrective prescription. They are used purely for fashion purposes. Plano lenses include the same benefits as our normal prescription lenses, including 100% UV protection.

    BIFOCAL LENS

    Bifocals (with line): Bifocal lenses incorporate two different prescriptions for people with presbyopia. After the age of 40 many people start to develop presbyopia, which means they are both myopic (nearsighted) and hyperopic (farsighted). Bifocal lenses allow a person to see objects in the distance through the upper part of the lens, while a line separates a lower segment of the lens that is adjusted based on specific ADD power for nearsighted reading and activities.

    PROGRESSIVE LENS

    Progressives (Multifocal without a line): Many people find it difficult to focus on objects far away as well as close-up after the age of 40, this is called presbyopia. Progressive lenses that are multifocal allow for more than two prescriptions for clear vision regardless of an objects distance. This type of lens includes distance, intermediate and near zones that are seamlessly integrated. Unlike bifocal lenses, progressive lenses offer no visible line which can cause an "image jump". Those with presbyopia often prefer multifocal progressive lenses because vision seems more smooth and natural without the line.

    Computer (Progressive Style): A newer lens among the progressive lens types is the computer progressive lens. These lenses are used to help treat presbyopia. Unlike the progressive category, the computer progressive lens comprises of a 50% nearsighted lens, 30-40% intermediate lens and a 20-10% farsighted lens solution. People that use computers will notice their vision requires a higher percentage of nearsighted and intermediate correction rather than farsighted correction. People with presbyopia using computers will find this to be an optimal lens solution.

    Lens Index Guide

    Standard Thin & Light Lens - 1.50 Index

    CR39 1.50 index lenses are an affordable choice for daily use and are 20% lighter than glass lenses. They are made using high-grade plastic and sourced from very reputable companies. These lenses offer a solid amount of ultraviolet (UV) light protection. The CR39 lenses we offer are the standard plastic lenses options for refractive indexes of 1.50 and are considerably thinner than typical CR39 lens options in the market. These lenses are recommended with rimmed frames but not recommended for rimless and semi-rimless frames.

    Very Thin & Light Lens - 1.61 High Index

    High index lenses, also referred to as Hi-index, are an excellent choice for high prescriptions. They offer a higher refractive index compared to CR39 and Mid-index lens options of around 1.61. Along with optimal ultraviolet (UV) light protection, our 1.61 Hi-Index lens range are up to 20% thinner than normal plastic lenses. Hi-index lenses also are designed with shatter resistant properties making them an all around top choice for high prescriptions and ideal for rimless and semi-rimless frames.

    Super Thin & Light Lens - 1.67 High Index

    The middle option of the High index lenses range has a refractive index of 1.67. They are recommended for those with higher prescriptions and are looking for a thinner lens option for cosmetic appeal. On average, the 1.67 index is around 30% thinner than 1.61 Hi-ndex lenses.

    Ultra Thin Lenses - 1.74 High Index

    The thinnest 1.74 High index lenses option available among plastic lenses is also the most expensive. These lenses are the lightest lens option among the Hi-index plastic lens and are the thinnest due to a reduction of both edges. 1.74 refractive index lenses can be up to 40% thinner compared to standard plastic lenses.

    Arise Clarity (Index 1.50, 1.56, 1.61, 1.67)

    Prescription Guide

    Purchasing a pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses is painless with the SmartBuyGlasses online shopping RX process. Our optometrists recommend the following lens material for the following category of eye prescriptions. For step by step instruction on how to read your eye prescription from your optometrist, please visit our FAQ.

    All lenses options are made from high-grade plastic due to better clarity, higher durability, impact resistant and lightness compared to glass lenses options. Please be aware that the cost of each lens material differs based on thickness of the material. The least expensive option is CR39, due to a lower refractive index (lens thickness). The higher the chosen index, the thinner and more expensive the lenses will cost.

    Additional Lens Options

    Tinted Lenses

    Tinted lenses can reduce glare when driving, or enhance your appearance. Unlike transition lenses, the color of a tinted lens will remain the same at all times. Lighter tints like pink are used for fashion purposes, whereas darker tints such as grey or brown can be used to provide sunglass protection. A yellow tint can be good for night time driving. If you are light sensitive, then grey is recommended as it is very neutral. Brown gives the wearer a better contrast between colors, and so is suitable for wearers who like to play golf and tennis. Please see our tint color chart for the many options on offer. You can choose from a choice of 24 tints. We also offer a lens color matching service where the color of your new prescription lenses matches the original color of the designer sunglasses lens.

    • Green & Polarized: Reduces glare without distorting colors for bright sunny conditions.
    • Brown & Grey: Enhances contrast and is highly recommended for conditions with the brightest sunlight. Grey is especially good for water sports where the strongest sunlight is reflected off water. Brown gives the wearer a better contrast between colors, and so is suitable for wearers who like to play golf and tennis.
    • Yellow & Amber & Gold: Filters out blue light and brings out shadows, making them suitable for most conditions, especially in low to moderate light. A yellow tint can be good for night time driving.
    • Purple & Rose: Best used for low-light conditions as they bring out shadows and contours. Lighter tints like pink are also great for their cosmetic appeal.

    Polarized Lenses

    Polarized lenses are used to reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as the surface of the water or dash of a car by filtering out reflected light. Polarized lenses are suitable for wearers who enjoy outdoor sports, fishing or driving. Our polarized lenses are available in grey and brown.

    Transitions® Light Intelligent Lenses™

    Transitions® Light Intelligent Lenses™ are also known as photochromic lenses. They stay clear at night and when the wearer is indoors. Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses will automatically change their level of tint according to the light conditions outdoors when exposed to UV light. This kind of lens helps the wearer enjoy life in different light conditions. The Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses we offer are available in grey and brown.

    FREE Lens Coatings

    Scratch resistant coating

    All of our plastic lenses come with a scratch resistant coating as standard on both sides of the lens. This coating is designed to reduce every day wear and tear to prolong the life of your glasses. Please note: a scratch resistant coating is not completely scratch proof but it is much more resilient to scratches than an uncoated lens. It can still be scratched if treated roughly.

    Anti-reflective coating

    An anti-reflective coating dramatically reduces surface reflections from artificial lights. These reflections can interfere with the vision of the wearer as reflections reduce the clarity of the lenses. This coating is recommended for indoor use and also for night time driving. An anti-reflective coating produces extremely clear lenses so the lenses appear almost invisible.

    UV protection

    UV treatment in eyeglass lenses blocks the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from damaging our eyes, specifically UVA and UVB rays. Many people forget that eyes also need to be protected against harmful UV rays, just like our skin.

    At SmartBuyGlasses we recognize the need to protect eyes in order reduce complications and issues in the future by providing FREE UV coating for all prescription orders.
