Find the Right Lenses for Your Eyes
Choosing the right lenses is essential for clear vision, everyday comfort, and eye protection. At Lenskandy, we help you understand different lens options so you can make an informed choice.
Types of Eyeglass Lenses
1. Single Vision Lenses
Designed to correct one type of vision problem, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
2. Blue Light Filter Lenses
Designed to filter some blue light from digital screens. They may be an option for people who spend long hours using computers and smartphones.
3. Anti-Glare Lenses
Reduce reflections from the lens surface, helping provide a clearer and more comfortable viewing experience in different lighting conditions.
4. Photochromic Lenses
These lenses darken when exposed to UV light outdoors and become clearer indoors, depending on the lens technology and conditions.
5. Progressive Lenses
Provide multiple vision corrections in one lens, helping people who need support for near, intermediate, and distance vision.
6. Polarized Sunglass Lenses
Help reduce glare reflected from surfaces such as roads and water, making them useful for outdoor activities and driving.
