DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRESCRIPTION LENSES Based upon the particular eyesight disorder, different types of corrective lenses are prescribed. As a rule, there are 4 types of prescription lenses: Single Vision, Bifocal, Trifocal, and Progressive. Single Vision Lenses Single Vision lenses have only one viewing area throughout the lens. This corrected area can be for far distance, near distance, or reading. Bifocal Lenses Bifocals (meaning a lens with two points of focus, usually one for distance and one for near) are some of the most commonly prescribed multi-focal lenses. A small portion of the bifocal eyeglass lens is reserved for the near-vision correction. The rest of the lens is usually a distance correction, but may have no correction at all if the wearer has good distance vision. Trifocal Lenses Trifocal lenses are lenses with three points of focus: usually for distance, intermediate and near. Trifocals have an added segment above the bifocal for viewing things in the intermediate zone: about an arm's length away. Computer terminals are typically in the intermediate zone. Progressive Lenses Progressive lenses correct vision for multiple distances without the visible segment lines seen in bifocal or trifocal lenses. Instead they have a graduated section in which the power of the lens progresses smoothly from one prescription to the other, allowing the wearer to see clearly at all distances.

Glossary of Eyewear Terms (continued) EYEGLASS LENS MATERIALS Choosing the right lens material for eyeglasses is an important decision, and there are several options. Plastic Lenses Plastic remains the most popular lens material for eyeglasses in the United States, accounting for nearly 50% of all lenses sold. Plastic is generally regarded as the economy choice in lenses. It offers good optical clarity at a lower price point. Due to thickness, it is not typically recommended for higher prescription powers. Polycarbonate Lenses Polycarbonate Lenses are the most durable of all lenses. These lenses are over ten times more impact resistant than regular plastic. They are also one of the lightest, thinnest lens materials used in eyewear (up to 40% thinner and 30% lighter than standard plastic lenses). Polycarbonate remains a good choice if you want the safest and/or lightest lenses possible. It is also an excellent material choice for children. Hi Index Lenses Hi Index lenses are an excellent alternative for patients with higher prescriptions that want the thinnest, most attractive lenses possible. Hi Index lenses range from 20% to 65% thinner than plastic lenses (depending on the refractive index). The higher the refractive index, the thinner the lens (and typically the higher the cost). Trivex Lenses The Trivex lens is a lightweight, impact resistant material much like polycarbonate. It offers the added benefits of lower visual distortion, better optics, and inherent U.V. Protection. Trivex is a great substitute for polycarbonate lenses in prescription sunglasses because Trivex can be easily tinted, whereas polycarbonate cannot. Heritage Vision Plans 18
Glossary of Eyewear Terms Glossary of Eyewear (continued) Terms EYEGLASS LENS COATINGS AND OPTIONS There are many different choices in eyeglass lens coatings and other optical options. These coatings and options can enhance the performance and appearance of eyeglass lenses. Scratch Resistant Coating The material in plastic lenses is relatively soft and is easily scratched if it is not coated with scratch-resistant coating. This coating, a much harder plastic compound, is applied to the lens surface. The " Scratch Coat " greatly increases the lens' resistance to scratches and abrasions, however it too can be scratched. Anti-Reflective or AR Coating Anti-Reflective Coatings help reduce the reflection on the lenses. When driving (day or night), or using the computer, they reduce the glare and lessen strain on the eyes. What you see is both clearer and sharper. AR Coating also cosmetically enhances the lens, making the lens almost invisible. Your eyes, not the glasses, become the focus of attention. Ultra-Violet or UV Coating UV Coating helps protect the eyes from the harmful damage caused by the sun. This protection helps the eyes tolerate bright sunlight and softens harsh light without making the glasses seem darker. (Note: Both Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses have builtin Ultra-Violet protective properties.) Photochromic or Transitions Lenses Photochromic lenses change from light to dark through changing levels of sunlight. " Transitions " is the most well-known brand in the category of Photochromic lenses. When worn indoors they are virtually clear. When worn outside they change to a dark color. Polarized Lenses Polarized Lenses block out virtually all Ultra-Violet Rays. These lenses help to eliminate haze and glare, while increasing visibility. Heritage Vision Plans 19
