TYPES OF LENSES
At Horizon Eye Physicians We Focus On Your Needs!
Single-vision lenses have only one single power in the entire lens. Most often, single-vision lenses are used by people who need vision correction for near or far only. However, patients who need correction for both can still benefit from having dedicated single-vision pairs of glasses.
Anti-fatigue lenses are designed to deal with eye strain for near work in pre-presbyopia patients. This lens is perfect if you do not yet have a prescription for reading glasses, but your eyes still feel tired from extended use of electronic devices or books, within arms distance.
Bifocals contain two areas of visual correction which allow patients to correct for both near and far. You’ll be able to tell bifocal lenses since they may have a line in the lens.Trifocals are designed the same way as lined bifocals, but include a third vision zone .
Progressives, often called “no-line” bifocals, contain three areas of visual correction. It corrects near, intermediate and distance vision. When you look at someone wearing eyeglasses you will not identify if they are wearing progressive lenses since there are no visible lines in lenses.
Computer vision glasses are designed like progressives in that they have no lines separating each vision zone, but contain only two zones – for intermediate and for near. A computer vision lens is perfect for progressive wearers who demand larger visual fields for near and intermediate work.

Anti-reflective coating, often abbreviated AR coating; improves your vision by reducing glare and eye strain from bright lights, such as those found in night driving, or when working on a computer. They allow more light to pass through the lens making objects easier to see and identify. An additional benefit with AR coatings is cosmetic. AR coatings make it easier for others to see your eyes and identify your facial expressions.
Blue light coating is a special type of AR coating that works by reflecting high-energy blue light and preventing it from entering the eyes. This coating blocks the harmful portion of blue light and allows the healthy portion of blue light to pass through your eyeglasses lenses, allowing for more comfortable vision when using electronic devices.
Mirror coatings are similar in function to Anti-Reflective coatings, but reflect even more light off of the lens. They are recommended for sunglasses for the ultimate glare protection. Available in a variety of colors to allow patients to express themselves more completely with their sunglasses.
We can tint your lenses to any color and intensity of your choosing. A darker lens is more suited for bright days, while a lighter tint can be extremely helpful on cloudy days, when there isn’t as much light out. Gradient tints are also available to get the best of both ends of the spectrum. We personalize our tinted lenses to meet your needs.
These lenses react to the light (typically UV), to get darker automatically when you are outside. They are most commonly referred to as Transitions, as that is the most ubiquitous brand for this technology. We offer them in a variety of colors and for a variety of lens designs and materials.
Polarized lenses offer incomparable glare reduction in bright light. The polarization filter removes light that is not coming from direct line of sight. The most noticeable result is the removal of unwanted reflections on surfaces like the road, water and other driver’s windows. Polarization also increases your ability to perceive different colors in bright light.
