Choosing lenses
How do I choose eyeglass lenses?
What? Doesn't my optician know which lenses are the best choice for me?
Yes, of course. An Eye Care Professional is a specialist who ultimately can tailor eyeglass lenses to your individual needs and preferences. However, with today's advanced lens technology there is an abundance of options, where the optician is your guide and advisor. But, at the end of the day, it's only you who can evaluate and prioritize your own preferences. That's why your engagement in choosing lenses will result in better vision!
Is there really any difference between eyeglass lenses?
Yes! If you look at other eyeglass wearers, all their lenses appear to be – just plastic… But you will perceive and experience what you see differently, depending on the lenses in your eyeglasses.
What is eyeglass lens quality?
Almost every manufacturer claims to provide ‘quality lenses’. But, unlike ‘quality’ that’s partly emotionally perceived, as for wines, clothes or spectacle frames, lens quality is all about technical features in materials, coating and manufacturing precision. At the end of the day it’s pure science.
Why should I choose a premium quality lens over a budget lens?
Simply because the premium quality lens will perform much better according to quality of vision, durability and maintenance.
How do I choose spectacle lenses?
It depends on your actual needs and preferences. These, in turn, depend on your lifestyle. How much time do you spend on a screen each day, or drive a car? To put it simply, the combination of your choices should reflect who you are.
