How to choose the right lenses for clearer vision and better everyday comfort

Choosing frames is often enjoyable, but the lenses in your glasses are just as important. They determine how well you see, how your eyes feel and how comfortable you are throughout the day. We help you find the right lenses for your prescription, your style, your daily routine and your needs.

Here are some of the most common types of lenses:

Single vision lenses

Suitable if you only need vision correction at one distance.

Progressive lenses

Lenses with multiple prescriptions in one, allowing you to switch seamlessly between reading and distance vision.

Occupational lenses

Lenses designed for screen use and work, with optimised powers for intermediate and near distances. They help reduce eye strain and improve ergonomics.

Toric lenses for astigmatism

Lenses that correct uneven refraction, allowing you to see clearly in all directions.

Prism lenses

Lenses used for binocular vision problems. They help align the image when the eyes do not work together perfectly.

Blue light filtering lenses

Lenses that filter blue light from screens. They can improve visual comfort and support better sleep.

Special lenses for reading and learning difficulties

Customised lenses with colour filters, vision training or other adaptations to support focus and reading comfort.

Thin and lightweight lenses

For higher prescriptions, we recommend thinner, lighter materials that provide greater comfort and a more refined appearance.

Lens coatings for improved comfort and durability

You can also choose from a range of coatings to enhance your glasses in everyday use:

  • Anti-reflective coating: Reduces glare from lights and screens
  • Scratch-resistant coating: Makes the lenses more durable
  • Water- and dirt-repellent coating: Easier to keep clean, ideal for everyday life

These coatings can be combined with different lens designs to achieve the best possible result.

Prescription sunglasses

Almost all of these lens types can also be made as sunglasses with full UV protection. Perfect if you want to combine clear vision with style.
