At SmartBuyGlasses, we offer different lens types: progressive, single-vision, and multifocal lenses. Additionally, we also offer special lenses, which include digital blue block lenses, prescription sunglass lenses, and Plano (non-prescription) lenses.

 Your type of vision problem will determine the prescription lenses type you will need.

 

These feature a single prescription that covers the entire lens and is useful for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). Within this category of lens types, single vision lenses are also used for the following:

• Distance Wear Glasses: These are worn by people who cannot see objects clearly in the distance. These lenses are essentially ‘normal’ lenses worn by most people and are suitable for everyday life.

• Reading Glasses: These are worn by people who cannot see objects close up. If you need optical correction for looking at material close-up, such as reading, typing, and working at the desk, then you require reading glasses.

Many people find it difficult to focus on objects far away as well as close-up after the age of 40. This is called presbyopia. Progressive lenses that are multifocal allow for more than two prescriptions for clear vision regardless of the distance of an object. 

This type of lens includes distance, intermediate and near zones that are seamlessly integrated. Unlike bifocal lenses, progressive lenses offer no visible line, which can cause an “image jump”.

Also known as “clear lenses”, they are a great choice for those who want to wear glasses for fashion purposes but don’t require corrected vision. This means that they can be worn without a prescription, just like sunglasses. Plano lenses, however, do include the same benefits as our normal prescription lenses, including 100% UV protection.
