To do this we may ask lifestyle questions such as your occupation and hobbies. The answers to these questions can help us advise you which type of lens maybe suitable for your individual needs.

Modern lenses now offer a broad range of options and materials so they are cosmetically better looking, more comfortable to wear and give you much better vision.

Lenses can now be made thinner and lighter. These lenses are especially good if you require a high powered lens. This means your lenses no longer have to be thick and unslightly and your choice of frames restricted.

If you require both a near and a distance correction, one option is to have different pairs of spectacles which sometimes can be inconvenient. Another option is Bifocals or varifocals which combine the two issues to give a practical solution, and if varifocals are chosen these can also be cosmetically pleasing with no obvious line across the lens.

To enhance the appearance of your lenses and improve the quality of your vision special coatings can be applied. This may be a hardcoat which can help prolong the life of your lenses and/or an anti-reflection coating which helps with night-driving glare, computer work as well as improving the look of your lenses.

Many people can find themselves increasingly sensitive to bright light. This problem can be solved by wearing sunspectacles which can have a tint tailored to your sensitivity requirements or a photochromic lens which changes with the amount of sunlight. Both these options can be fitted into a wide selection of frames giving a fashionable and practical solution.

At Clifford Benjamin Opticians a fully qualified practitioner will advise you on the best type of lens for your needs. We take into account your expectations on comfort, weight and appearance along with special requirements connected with your job, sports or hobbies to advise the you of the best options.
