SPECTACLE LENSES

Here at Osmond Drakes we strive to provide you with the best and most affordable options for your Spectacle lenses. We use both Hoya and Essilor as spectacle lens providers giving you the option to have any Spectacle lens you want.

SPECTACLE LENS MATERIALS

There are now many specialised materials available for creating spectacle lenses, so we can advise on the best possible lenses for you. Modern materials available include…

· Standard Plastic

· Airwear, a polycarbonate lens material, suitable for those with an active lifestyle. Light, thin and virtually unbreakable. Ideal for rimless spectacle frames

· Mid Index Plastic – thinner and lighter than the standard plastic

· High Index Plastic – remarkably thinner and flatter than conventional lenses that are suitable for higher prescriptions

· Very High Index Plastic – ideal for patients with strong prescriptions. It’s much thinner, flatter and lighter than standard high index lenses and reduces eye magnification considerably. So no matter how high your prescription you will look and feel much more natural

SPECTACLE LENS COATINGS

Everyone deserves the right to clear vision. Today, many spectacle wearers still haven’t tried anti-reflective lenses. Yet, once people give them a try they never go back to the visual discomfort of untreated versions. The discomfort can be caused by fingerprints, headlight glare on the road, eyestrain caused by computer screens and surface scatches.

We can offer a choice of coatings to overcome one or all 5 enemies of clear vision…

· Reflections

· Smudges

· Scratches

· Dust

· Water

VARIFOCAL LENSES

Everybody loses that bit of flexibility as they get older and that goes for the lenses inside our eyes as well as the rest of our bodies. This varies from person to person but for most people it becomes noticeable when they are in their forties.

WHEN DO YOU NEED VARIFOCALS?

Single vision lenses (reading glasses) only correct the reading area so you may get blurred vision at every distance beyond, so reading glasses can be on and off as you switch between near and far. Bifocals give you focus at two distances; near and far, but with a blurred mid area and an unflattering line across the lens. Varifocal lenses have three main focal areas smoothly blended into one for natural vision at every distance.

WHY BUY OUR VARIFOCALS?

We recommend the right Varifocal lens to fit your needs and work with you to make sure you get the best use out of them. If you have problems with your Varifocals we will help to ensure that they work right for you. We only use lens providers who have the latest lens technology to make sure that you have a quality Varifocal lens.

​PERSONALISED LENSES

Everyone is unique, and their eyes are no different. Which is why at Osmond Drake Opticians we offer Personalised, bespoke Varifocal lenses.

Developed to meet all the visual demands of today’s motorists, EnRoute lenses for driving are equipped with a specially developed Glare Filter. This absorbs light in the blue spectrum, significantly reducing light scatter and distracting glare from the dashboard, streetlights and oncoming traffic. With the reflections gone, more light passes through your lenses, improving contrast and brightness. The result is more comfortable, relaxed vision even in stressful driving situations.
