Lenses

Nova Vision Care offers a wide range of spectacle lens options to meet your needs and your budget. Our opticians will review your optical needs and your prescription, and discuss with you the best options for your lifestyle and specific visual requirements, like extensive screen use, myopia control, brain injury symptoms, headaches, eye and/or neck strain, etc. We use top quality labs and triple check every pair to ensure they are made specifically to your eyes.

Here are a few of the options our opticians will discuss with you when investing in your vision:

Lens Options

Photochromic

Photochromic lenses are optical lenses that darken on exposure to specific types of light of sufficient intensity, most commonly ultraviolet (UV) light. In the absence of activating light, the lenses return to their clear state.

ANTI-REFLECTIVE (AR) COATINGS

AR coatings are added to lenses to help reduce glare and reflection created by lights. These coatings are instrumental in helping to improve clarity, reduce eye strain, and improve the aesthetic value of your glasses. Many of these coatings also include components to help repel water and oils from your skin, which will make cleaning the lenses easier. These coatings often provide a scratch resistance, making it possible to provide a more comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty.

Blue light blockers

Blue light blocking lenses protect your eyes from damaging blue light wavelengths that emit from modern devices. Smartphones, tablets, TVs and even energy efficient light bulbs emit high energy blue light waves that can strain our eyes; and even interfere with our ability to sleep. The blue blocking coatings added to lenses alleviate eyestrain.

Lens Material

Trivex

We recommend Trivex as a lens material for most of our patients. Trivex is a thin and light weight lens that is durable and impact resistant. It is scratch resistant and UV protected. Trivex far exceeds the FDA guidelines making it one of the safest lens options available.

Hi-Index

Hi-index lenses are crafted from materials that permit them to have a higher refractive value. This higher refractive value makes this material perfect for higher prescriptions because it permits them to be thinner and lighter than they would be with standard materials.

POLYCARBONATE

Polycarbonate lenses are comprised of thermoplastic materials that make them durable and impact resistant. They are also lighter weight and thinner than standard materials. Polycarbonate lenses are sometimes more budget friendly, and may be customized through various lens enhancements.

 

Lens Types

Progressive

Progressive or "no-line" multi-focal eyeglass lenses have a gradual curvature across the lens surface and provide not only clearer vision at near and far distances, but also smooth, comfortable transitions in between.

Occupational Progressive (computer/near)

These are lenses designed to improve your concentration. The ergonomic office lens for people who wish to combine a wide and comfortable view of their intermediate work zone with flexibility in depth of vision.

Single Vision

Single vision lenses are designed to help people who require a correction of farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism. These lenses have a single optical prescription throughout the entire lens.

Boost Lenses

Boost lenses are a modern single vision lens type for wearers who have a dynamic visual needs at various distances. They provide a "boost zone" at the bottom of the lens to help you shift more easily between reading material, including digital devices, and the rest of the room.

Neurolens

We proudly offer our patients the Neurolens option. Neurolenses are the only prescription lenses that add contoured prism to bring the eyes into alignment. Contoured prism has been shown in studies to relieve the headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and eyestrain that many people experience when using digital devices.
