A
glaring problem? Bothered
by glare coming off the road, or during night-driving? Do you get
eye-strain or headaches from glare in the office? or are you tired
of others seeing their own reflection in your lenses? No worries,
there’s
a solution. It’s called Anti-reflective-lens coatings, and they are becoming very popular because they reduce the glare and “ghost” images many eyeglass wearers complain about. Plus, they make your lenses invisible, so people see your eyes, not reflections on your lenses. |

What
are Transitions Lenses and what makes them so Smart? New
Transitions Lenses are so smart they go from clear indoors to as
dark as sunglasses outdoors. Their advanced technology adjusts to
changing light, so you see clearly and more comfortably in virtually
any light condition. Indoors,
Transitions Lenses are as clear as your regular eyeglasses.
Outdoors, they quickly darken, getting as dark as sunglasses if
necessary. They work so well, in a recent clinical study, four out
of five eyeglass wearers preferred Transitions to their regular
lenses. And Transitions provide 100% UV protection. Ask
your eyecare professional about making Transition Lenses your every
day lens. And find out just how smart a lens can be. |

What is Presbyopia?It is a natural evolution of sight, which affects virtually everybody starting around forty:As
it loses flexibility, the crystalline lens in the eye does not
change shape sufficiently to focus properly. The result: near vision
becomes blurry.
|
What is a progressive lens?It
is the most efficient and comfortable correction for presbyopia,
because a progressive lens restores clear vision at all distances with
only one pair of glasses. Adaptation to progressive lenses is very
quick. |

Varilux Progressive Lenses allow presbyopes to see near, far and everywhere in between naturally, without the annoying, distracting lines of bifocal lenses. Your visual field is clear and continuous. |
