Do you offer bifocal or progressive lenses?
We offer progressive glasses and bi-focal glasses.
What is the difference between single-vision and progressive lenses?
Single-vision lenses offer one correction throughout the entire lens (usually for distance or reading). Progressive lenses offer multiple focal corrections in one lens, providing a seamless transition from distance correction on top to reading correction on bottom. This means you can see your whole field of vision without switching between multiple pairs of glasses. (Neat.)
If you have any additional questions about progressives, we’re happy to help. Chat with us here.
Do you offer light-responsive lenses?
We offer light-responsive lenses in our entire collection of eyeglasses starting at AED 199. These lenses darken from clear to grey when exposed to UV rays (so you won’t have to worry about them transitioning while indoors—phew!). Our light-responsive lenses are equipped with scratch resistant, anti-reflective, and superhydrophobic coatings, and they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
Can you make lenses with a prism correction?
Yes! Pricing is based on your specific prescription values, as well as the type of lenses you choose to purchase. We’re happy to help you figure out the best lenses for you based on your prescription strength. Give us a call at +19137359491, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. EST.
What’s the best way to clean my lenses?
To clean your lenses, simply rinse them with a mild dish soap and lukewarm water, and dry them with a soft cloth. For day-to-day cleaning of light smudges, a few swipes of the lens cloth included in your case should do the trick. Please be careful to avoid using hot water on your lenses (especially if they are high-index lenses), as they can develop bubbles or cracks when exposed to high heat.
Do you sell contact lenses?
No.
Do your glasses offer protection from blue light?
For customers who are concerned about exposure to blue light, we offer polycarbonate blue-light-filtering lenses. These lenses block more blue light than our standard polycarbonate lenses or our high-index lenses, and they can be added to your order during checkout.
If you’re planning on wearing your glasses both indoors and outdoors, we’d recommend our light-responsive lenses (which darken from clear to grey when exposed to sunlight) as an alternative. Many people’s primary source of blue light exposure is the sun, and these lenses provide more blue light filtration when exposed to sunlight than most blue-light-filtering lenses (including ours) do. If you’re interested, these lenses cost an additional dollars and can be selected when adding frames to your cart.
