Do I need the anti-reflective coating?
We highly suggest anti-reflective coating for every pair of prescription lenses whether they be clear or sunglasses. Anti-reflective coating helps eliminate glare from your everyday activities. There is also a premium anti-reflective coating that helps protect your eyes from the blue light that is in your smartphone, computers, and most electronic devices. The premium anti-reflective coating can help eliminate fatigue when on an electronic device for a long period of time and helps protect. studies show that 15 minutes' worth of screen time without this computer anti-reflective coating is the equivalent of being outside for 8 hours without sunglasses.
What is polarization?
Polarized sunglasses are specialized eyewear designed to reduce glare from surfaces such as water, snow, and glass. Glare distorts the true color of objects and makes them harder to distinguish. Polarization can be helpful while driving by reducing glare reflections from flat surfaces such as hoods or certain road surfaces. It can also be beneficial to certain sports like fisherman. It will help reduce the glare off the top of the water.
Lens Information
Single Vision: The entire lens is the same power throughout it, and may correct either Myopia (near-sightness), Hyperopia (far-sightedness) or Astigmatism. Single Vision lenses correct for a single point of focus whether it be distance, intermediate, or near.
Bifocal: This type of multifocal contains 2 different powers in the lens. Standard bifocals typically come in a flat top 28 (FT28), flat top 35 (FT35), or executive. 28 and 35 represent how wide the bifocal is from side to side and executive represents that the bifocal goes across the entire lens.
Trifocal: This type of multifocal contains 3 different powers. Typically the top power is for distance, the middle power is for intermediate, and the bottom power is for reading. Trifocals also come in 7x28, 8x35, and executive.
Progressive: Instead of having just 2 or 3 lens powers like bifocals or trifocals, progressive lenses provide a seamless progression of many lens powers for all viewing distances. Progressive lenses also have more cosmetic appeal due to the invisible zones and no harsh lines like bifocals and trifocals.

What are transitions?
Transition lenses are photochromic lenses that are eyeglass lenses that are clear (or nearly clear) indoors and darken automatically when exposed to sunlight. They are "light-adaptive lenses" or "variable tint lenses". Benefits of transition lenses are they automatically adapt to light conditions, they reduce eye strain and fatigue indoors and squinting in sunlight.
