Clear vision for one viewing distance
What are single vision lenses?
Single vision lenses contain one prescription across the entire lens. They are ideal when you need glasses for one specific purpose, such as distance vision, reading or computer work.
Whether your prescription has changed or your current lenses are scratched, we can manufacture new lenses and fit them into the frame you already love.
Designed around how you use your glasses
Distance, reading or intermediate?
Reading
For books, newspapers, mobile phones and detailed close work.
Intermediate
For computer screens, office work, music stands and arm's-length tasks.
Keep the frame you love
New lenses without replacing your glasses
If your current frame still fits comfortably and suits your style, there is no need to replace the entire pair.
Reglazing lets you update your prescription, replace scratched lenses or choose a slimmer lens while keeping the frame you already know and love.
