All our lenses are supplied by leading UK lens manufacturers, the lenses are made to the highest specification and all conform to British Standard BS2738-3 2004. All our lenses are made from plastic materials.

The coatings available on the lenses are designed to enhance the cosmetics, improve optical performance and increase their durability for you. Coatings include:

  1. Ultra Violet (UV) Block
  2. Anti-scratch (HC)
  3. Anti-reflective (MAR)
  4. Ultra Clean (UC)

Anti-scratch (HC) scratch resistant/hard coated lenses. This coating protects the lenses from everyday wear and tear, scratching from cleaning etc, which can lead to decreased vision, increased glare and a reduced appearance. These coatings increase durability, protect the lenses giving them extended life.
 
Anti-reflection (MAR) coatings help to stop reflected light from the lens surface, if this light is reflected then it is not passing through the lens. These front and back surface reflections can reduce the amount of light reaching the eyes, thereby reducing your quality of vision especially in low lighting levels and high glare situations, such as driving and computing. Cosmetic appearance is improved as the lenses are almost invisible in the frames so it is your eyes you see not the reflections.

Ultra Clean (UC) is a new coating making the surface of the lens anti-static and hydrophobic this makes the lens surface completely smooth, so particles are not attracted to the lens, and any that do slide off. This makes cleaning less necessary, up to 90% less.

Ultra Violet (UV) Block, protective coating will block all damaging Ultra Violet radiation up to 400nm. This will protect your eyes from harmful and damaging radiation especially from the sun. All lenses with anti-scratch have full UV blocking.

There are many lens coating combinations available. The most complete, currently available is the Ultra Clean with Anti-glare (UC/MAR), this provides full UV blocking, anti-scratch, ultra clean and anti-reflective properties.
