Lenses & Frames

Choosing the right eyeglass lenses is crucial for optimal vision and comfort. With advancements in optical technology, there are numerous options available, each option is baded on your needs and lifestyle. Dr. Girardi will consider your daily activities, visual requirements, and personal preferences to help you select the ideal lenses for your eyes.

Here are some of the most common and helpful eyeglass lens options:

Transition lenses – These lenses automatically adjust from clear to dark based on light conditions, giving you built-in sun protection without needing a separate pair of prescription sunglasses.

UV coated lenses – A clear UV coating can be added to most lenses to block harmful ultraviolet rays. It’s a simple way to help protect your long-term eye health, especially if your lens material doesn’t already include it.

Tinted sunglass lenses – For patients who want prescription sunglasses, tinted lenses are a great option. They come in a range of colors and shades, combining sun protection, vision correction, and personal style.

Scratch-resistant coating – This clear coating adds a durable layer to your lenses that helps protect against everyday wear and tear, especially helpful for kids or anyone with an active lifestyle.

Plastic lenses – Lightweight plastic lenses make glasses more comfortable to wear throughout the day. If heavier frames tend to leave pressure on your nose or ears, this option can offer a noticeable difference.

Thinner lenses (high-index lenses) – These lenses are designed for stronger prescriptions and reduce the thickness and weight of your glasses. They look more streamlined and feel lighter without the “coke bottle” effect.

Anti-glare lenses (anti-reflective coating) – These lenses help reduce reflections from screens, headlights, and overhead lights. They improve how your glasses look and how clearly you see especially in low-light or high-glare settings.
