So you’ve chosen an amazing pair of frames – they’re going to look great on you, But there’s another decision to make: what type of lenses will go in those beautiful frames? The best lens for you depends on your lifestyle, your job and your vision needs, as well as your individual preferences. Our guide will make everything clear for you.
Lens types at Specsavers
Single-vision lenses
This lens contains one single prescription, usually to correct either long- or short-sightedness. It’s for people who need glasses for driving, reading or computer use. Our single-vision lenses come as standard with every frame at no extra cost.
Bifocal lenses –
from £50
If you need separate glasses for distance vision and reading, then bifocal lenses could be for you. They contain two different prescriptions, usually for distance and close-up vision. So you won’t need to switch between two pairs of glasses.
Varifocal lenses –
from £40
Varifocals contain multiple prescriptions in the lens for viewing close up, far away and everything in between. Whether you’re shopping, driving or reading, they give you clear vision at any distance.
Occupational lenses –
from £80
Occupational lenses are a step up from reading glasses. They allow the wearer to see both close up and a bit further away, which is something basic reading glasses can’t do.
