If you’ve been keeping up-to-date with developments in the eyewear world of late, you might be aware that blue light glasses are kicking up quite the storm. Rightfully so, if we’re honest – this innovative technology has been at the centre of attention for a couple of years now. It’s a development that has been picked up on by the top minds at premium fashion houses like Tom Ford, as well as value style specialists like Arise Collective. If you’re looking for where to buy blue light glasses, you’re in luck. Both of these blue light glasses brands are headlining our collection at SmartBuyGlasses!

 

Before we outline our best blue light glasses, we thought now would be a good opportunity to get you all caught up with the basics of blue light filter glasses.

What Is Blue Light?

 

Blue light is a potentially harmful form of light. While it’s naturally emitted by the sun, electronic devices – the kind you’re probably sick of after 2020 – are also to blame. The screens with which we’re oh-so-familiar are dangerously good at pumping out blue light. 

 

Why do you think blue light glasses are so popular with online professionals and gamers? They’re the ones spending the most time in front of screens! Blue light rays at a wavelength between 415 – 455 nanometers can damage your retinal cells. This may lead to premature eye ageing and vision problems in the future. Not nice.

What Are Blue Light Glasses?

Blue light glasses, blue light blocking glasses, blue light filter glasses – they’re all the same. We like to use the term ‘blue light glasses’, but you’ll likely find them under a number of names wherever you look. The answer is actually pretty simple. They’re a type of glasses with specially-crafted lens technologies that filter out blue light – the sort we’ve just explained up above. 

If you, like most of us, spend much of your day in front of a screen, you might need blue light glasses. They help to protect your eyes from digital eye strain and can prevent computer vision syndrome. We like blue light glasses, as they protect your eyes from the blue light emitted from the screens without compromising your vision.

How Do Blue Light Glasses Work – and Do They?

With blue light filter glasses, the secret’s in the lens coatings. The lenses in blue light glasses contain special treatments designed to filter out blue light. Said lenses are often also treated with anti-glare coatings to further reduce the strain on your eyes.

By blocking blue light, you let your body’s normal hormonal rhythm run its course, which is really important if you enjoy a good night’s sleep. Blue light glasses don’t just reduce digital eye strain. They also allow your body to take its natural cues only from the sun, rather than screens, which can trick your brain into thinking it’s still light outside.

Don’t just trust us – trust the science. Blue light glasses have been shown to reduce the impact of blue light on macular degeneration.

Where to Buy Blue Light Glasses: Our Favourite Frames at SmartBuyGlasses

If you’re on the hunt for stylish, classical blue light filter glasses, look no further. These vintage-style horn-rimmed frames come from fashion maestro Tom Ford. In our eyes, they’re the apex of premium blue light glasses. With premium round frames – complete with iconic ‘T’ detailing at the temple tips – these full-rim glasses are the perfect complement for any look.

These striking frames from Arise Collective prove that you can pull off a sleek, professional look without sticking to neutral blacks, browns and greys. These rectangular full-rim glasses feature a really fun frame design, with a tortoiseshell upper and transparent blue lower section. These, combined with zFORT® blue light blocking tech? Simply supreme.

When it comes to blue light glasses, you might be forgiven for thinking they’re restricted to cheap-looking, low quality frames. However, one look at this offering from Prada is enough to prove you wrong. These oversized women’s frames hail from one of the world’s fashion capitals, Milan, and are a sure way to turn heads wherever you go. These Prada glasses come kitted out with sleek black frames, gold accents and that iconic Prada logo on the temples.

Which brand offers top-quality craftsmanship, suave design, blue light blocking lenses AND a low price? We’ll tell you – it’s SmartBuy Collection. These smart, thin, wire-framed blue light glasses from this great value brand are a really solid option for anyone looking for a classy entry-level pair of specs.

 

One of the advantages of choosing a pair of SmartBuy Collection glasses is the inclusion of groundbreaking zFORT® technology – custom-built to provide a ‘fort-like’ protection for your eyes against blue light.

 

So, those are our top picks for blue light glasses, and we hope you liked them. If you’re keen on getting your hands on a pair of glasses, hop on over to our store and browse through our entire selection.

Why You Need zFORT® Blue Light Blocking Glasses ASAP

Why You Need zFORT® Blue Light Blocking Glasses ASAP

Instagram obsessed? Binge-watching Netflix? Work on a computer? Go into the sun? If you said yes to any of these questions (we’re guessing this covers about 99.99% of you), then you’re exposing your eyes to blue light. zFORT® blue light block technology recently launched at SmartBuyGlasses. We’re here to give you the lowdown on why you need blue light filtering glasses in the first place, the tech behind zFORT® blue light blockers, plus our top style picks for blue light blocking glasses. Read on to find out more!

What is blue light?

Blue light is a high-energy visible light that comes from the sun as well as digital devices. Sunlight is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue light rays with different levels of energy and wavelengths. Blue light rays have short wavelengths between 380nm and 500nm with high energy levels. Studies have found that when blue light rays reach a wavelength of between 415-455nm, they could be extremely harmful to eye health as they penetrate through the retina.

What are the benefits of blue light and the negatives?

Like anything in life, there are positives and dangers associated with blue light exposure. You need some blue light exposure for potentially: 

  • • Boosting your memory and mood 
  • • Regulating your circadian rhythm (read your sleep cycle!)  
  • • Maintaining healthy development of the eyes in children 

However, regular and frequent exposure to blue light, especially from artificial sources, could potentially pose health risks including: 

  • • Exposure at night time could cause difficulty sleeping and tiredness
  • • It could increase headaches
  • • It could increase digital eye strain
  • • Maybe even cause damage to the retina leading to age-related macular degeneration

What’s zFORT®?

zFORT® is blue light blocking technology. Basically, it helps to block a portion of blue light wavelengths between 380 and 500nm from reaching your eye and potentially causing detrimental damage. 

The blocker helps to scatter the wavelengths away from the eyes, acting like a shield of protection. If you’re living in the 21st century, then you’re going to want to check them out since we rely on blue light-emitting technology for pretty much everything these days.

Why do you need blue-light-blocking glasses?

Every time you’re on a digital device, you’re increasing your exposure to blue light. You’re already exposed naturally to blue light from the sun, so we need to take measures to limit the potentially negative health effects of our phones, laptops, and gaming devices.

The main reasons we’re buying zFORT® (and think you should too):

  1. Potentially less glare when working/gaming/looking at your computer screen
  2. Help to reduce eye strain
  3. Help to improve sleep
  4. Potentially reduce headaches

Besides the health benefits, zFORT® has a super accessible price point and can be added on as a lens tint to any of the Vision Direct prescription or non-prescription glasses during checkout. Different from those sometimes unfashionable-looking computer glasses, you don’t have to worry about a yellow tint on the lenses either.

Our top picks for blue light blocking glasses:

We regularly rave about blue-light-blocking glasses because we think they’re a basic health necessity in our modern-day lives. You can read about our top picks for blue light filtering glasses that come with their own protection (no zFORT® necessary) here OR take a look at our top 5 favorite glasses right now that can have zFORT® added during checkout here:

These new Oakley glasses for men feature midnight blue frames and pilot-shaped lenses. Suitable for prescription and non-prescription wearers, you’ll stand out in the office (or your next Zoom call if you’re working from home!) for all the right reasons in a pair of these. Just add zFORT® to the lenses during checkout. Not sure if this is quite for you? Try it on by using the virtual try-on selfie view on the product page!

Unisex with quirky matte gold pilot-shaped frames and a purple tail, we’re obsessed with the latest glasses from Fendi. Slip a pair of these aviator-style specs with zFORT® blue block protection on during your next Instagram scroll for the most stylish protection yet! Do you want to buy this right away but can’t find your prescription? Use the SmartBuyGlasses prescription lens scanner to extract your prescription from your current pair of glasses in just a few minutes!

These are THE glasses to pick if you’re new to wearing them! Suitable for both prescription and non-prescription wearers, these Ray-Ban specs have transparent frames and look just as cool on when working on your laptop as they do when you’re on the couch playing video games.

4) Dolce and Gabbana DG3325

Elegant and sophisticated cat-eyed shape glasses in a grey-brown shade. With gold-armed frames to complete the luxurious specs, these are made for days when only Italian designers will do! Make them even better with zFORT® blue light protection.

Quirky and ultra-affordable, these specs are ideal if you’re just discovering the world of computer glasses. With red hexagonal lenses with gold accents, you’ll look better than ever on your next Netflix binge.

More and more kids are spending time in front of digital devices, whether it’s for school or entertainment. Admit it, parents, you are too. Here’s an ace up your sleeve: blue light glasses for kids.

Your Style Handbook for Browline Glasses

Your Style Handbook for Browline Glasses

Ever notice how some accessories just never go out of style? Browline glasses are a perfect example. 

Whether you’re channelling the sophisticated look of a 1950s movie star or adding a retro touch to your modern wardrobe, these frames have a unique way of complementing any face shape and style. 

Let’s find out what makes these frames so special and how to find the perfect pair for your face shape.

What are brownline glasses?

Browline glasses are a frame style in which the upper part of the frame is bolder and thicker than the lower part. This design mimics the natural line of the eyebrows, giving these glasses their unique name.

These frames were invented in the 1940s. The first model, “Ronsir,” was ahead of its time, with customisable bridges, eye wires and “brows”.  

Combining materials like metal and plastic makes the browline eyeglasses look big without making them heavy. 

Browline frames gained popularity in the 50s and 60s and were often seen on celebrities and public figures. Their versatility brings a stylish retro look to any outfit making them a favourite for both men and women.

How to pull off browline glasses

Nowadays, browline glasses come in different shapes and sizes, which is a great opportunity for everyone to find a pair that looks good on them.

The key is to find a pair that complements your face shape. This way, your glasses will highlight your features instead of overpowering them.

If you don’t know what your shape is, you can check out our handy tool to help you find your face shape accurately.

Oval-shaped faces

If you have an oval face, consider yourself lucky! Oval-shaped faces have balanced proportions with slightly wider cheekbones and a gently curved jawline. 

Almost any style of browline frames will look amazing on you which gives you complete freedom of frame choice.

We recommend trying square frames because they will add some edge and structure to your balanced features. 

A classic pair of Ray-Ban Clubmaster glasses with a slightly wider frame to highlight your cheekbones can effortlessly transform your coffee date look into fancy dinner attire.

Round-shaped faces

Round faces usually have fuller cheeks and a rounded jawline, with the face being about as wide as it is long. 

To add some angles and make your face look longer, go for browline glasses with sharp lines and a wide brow. Angular or rectangular frames can help elongate your face and create a more defined look. 

Think about browline frames with a thicker upper frame in one solid colour and thin metal lower rims – they can give your face a more sculpted appearance, perfect for those Instagram-worthy selfies.

And if you want to achieve a more feminine look, cat eye glasses also look great on round face shapes by giving it a soft edge that instantly catches the attention.

Square-shaped faces

Square faces have strong, angular jawlines and equally wide cheekbones and foreheads. 

If you have a square face, your facial features are typically very defined and prominent, giving you a bold and striking appearance.

Choose browline eyeglasses with rounded edges or a slight curve. Oval or round frames can help balance your strong features and add some softness. 

Picture yourself in a pair with tortoiseshell upper rims and sleek metal lower frames. These browline glasses frames can add a touch of sophistication and make your sharp features stand out in the best way.

Heart-shaped faces

Heart-shaped faces have a broad forehead and cheekbones with a narrower chin.

If you fit this description, look for browline glasses with a wider lower frame to even out the width of your forehead and add some width to your chin area. 

Cat eye or semi-rimless frames can also work well, adding width to the lower part of your face. These glasses can make your face look more balanced and highlight your natural charm.

Diamond-shaped faces

The diamond face shape is among the rarest in the world. They have narrow foreheads and jawlines with broad cheekbones. 

To show off those prominent features and balance your narrow forehead and chin, pick browline glasses that are slightly wider than your cheekbones such as oval or cat eye frames. 

A chic pair of browline glasses draws attention to your upper face and enhances your personal style, giving you a stylish look, great for any occasion.

Photochromic and polarised lenses each have their respective qualities. Find out which type is the best choice for you.

SUMMARY

Both photochromic and polarised lenses effectively protect the eyes from UV rays.

The main difference is that while polarised lenses are always tinted with a coating that cuts out glare, photochromic lenses only darken when in contact with UV light, remaining clear otherwise

Sunglasses are a versatile accessory; they protect your eyes and make you look cool. You may put a lot of thought into the frame of your glasses or sunglasses, but choosing the right lenses is just as important.

With so many lenses available, it may be difficult to understand which are right for you. The best lenses for an individual will depend on your unique visual needs and what you hope to get from your shades.

Polarised and photochromic lenses are two of the many lens choices which offer excellent UV protection, but many wonder, what exactly is the difference?

What is the difference between photochromic and polarised lenses?

Photochromic and polarised lenses both effectively protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. They’re both available in a diverse range of frame styles and are highly beneficial to wearers. The difference?

Simply put, photochromic lenses automatically adjust from clear to dark with UV exposure. Photochromic lenses start clear and darken upon coming into contact with UV light. 

Unlike photochromic lenses, polarised lenses are always tinted and have a special coating that filters out horizontal light rays, which essentially means they cut out glare.

DID YOU KNOW?

Polarised lenses were invented in 1936, exactly thirty years before photochromic lenses.

What are photochromic lenses?

You may have also heard photochromic lenses being referred to as Transitions® lenses, but are they the same?

Transitions® lenses and photochromic lenses work the same way and are essentially the same thing. Transitions® is a brand name and type of photochromic lens manufactured by Transitions Optical Limited.

Photochromic lenses are an excellent choice for people who are sick of switching between their prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses.

As light conditions change, so do the lenses, depending on the intensity of ultraviolet light. And the best part, you never have to change your frames.

Inside, away from UV light, photochromic lenses are clear, but as soon as you step outside and UV rays are present, they gradually darken.

Plastic photochromic lenses and glass photochromic lenses use the same technology but are a bit different in their composition. 

Plastic photochromic lenses include molecules of silver halide that are usually layered or embedded evenly onto the surface of the lens, providing an even tint when exposed to UV light conditions, whereas glass photochromic lenses contain the molecules within the glass.

The convenient all-in-one nature of these lenses provides extra comfort in changing environments for those who need prescription eyewear.

How do photochromic lenses work?

It’s all about a chemical reaction. Photochromic lenses have light-sensitive molecules that shift their structure when combined with UV light, allowing them to easily adapt to changing light conditions. 

When this light is absorbed, the lenses darken. Away from the sunlight, the process reverses, and the lenses become clear again.

gif showing photochromic lenses

On average, photochromic lenses darken in 30–60 seconds and clear a bit slower in 2–3 minutes.

The molecules in photochromic lenses are not only sensitive to the presence of UV light but also the amount of it. When exposed to bright light, they will change more quickly; less light and they’ll change more slowly.

If you find yourself in the shade, you might notice your lenses darkening less than in direct sunlight. UV light is still present in low light settings like overcast skies, causing photochromic lenses to darken even in these conditions. 

Pros and cons of photochromic lenses

The biggest advantages are how cost-effective, convenient and versatile photochromic lenses can be. With no need for a separate pair, one pair of glasses acts as both your eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Photochromic glasses mean no need to worry about changing your glasses upon entering or exiting a building or the sunshine. 

The versatility of photochromic lenses is especially beneficial when the weather changes throughout the day, making them great for those with an active lifestyle

If you’re on the slopes, or hiking in the woods, and the sun keeps disappearing behind the clouds and coming out again, your vision and comfort remain unaffected.  

While photochromic glasses benefit many wearers, there are some disadvantages to consider. Temperature impacts the rate at which photochromic lenses darken or clear up. 

The lenses usually darken more fully in cold weather but take longer to clear. In warmer weather, they may not darken as much but will become clear quicker.

Most photochromic lenses perform well for three-plus years, but eventually, they will become less reactive to light conditions and take longer to shift between clear and tinted. 

Some models, including the Transitions XTRActive® lenses, have more photochromic molecules allowing them to transition even while in the car. These lenses always have a very light base tint and will not go as dark in the car as they do outdoors.

What are polarised lenses?

Polarised lenses are tinted lenses with a special coating that blocks glare, boosts visibility, increases clarity and enhances contrast to make your surroundings more vibrant.

difference between polarised and non polarised sunglasses

Polarised sunglasses provide optimal vision for outdoor activities, as they block out reflections that come from smooth surfaces, like, snow or water.

When the sun reflects off these surfaces, it causes a powerful, horizontal glare that may cause eye damage and strain.

Polarised lenses improve visual clarity by reducing glare from reflective surfaces, making it easy for your eyes to focus, while also increasing colour contrast and giving you greater depth perception.

How do polarised lenses work?

Whether hiking, cycling or boating, polarised sunglasses are a great option for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. The lenses are designed to reduce glare and enhance outdoor vision, helping improve performance while making colours look more vibrant.

Polarised lenses are well suited for driving during the day, as glare from other cars, or the road, is a common scenario. 

With reduced glare comes a lower risk of eye strain. Polarised lenses are an excellent solution for people with light sensitivity, and they may even be recommended to patients who have had cataract surgery.

Pros and cons of polarised lenses

Whether hiking, cycling or boating, polarised sunglasses are a great option for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. The lenses are designed to reduce glare and enhance outdoor vision, helping improve performance while making colours look more vibrant.

Polarised lenses are well suited for driving during the day, as glare from other cars, or the road, is a common scenario. 

With reduced glare comes a lower risk of eye strain. Polarised lenses are an excellent solution for people with light sensitivity, and they may even be recommended to patients who have had cataract surgery.

With many advantages, there are some things to consider before buying polarised lenses. Polarised lenses may reduce vision clarity when looking at LCD screens or certain displays. 

For anyone working in a job where looking at display screens is expected, you should test polarised lenses on them before purchasing. 

While polarised lenses are beneficial in snowy conditions, they may make it harder to see patches of ice.

If you’re skiing, snowboarding, driving or walking where there might be lots of ice, it may be best to avoid your polarised sunglasses and reach for another pair.

Another disadvantage is that polarised lenses are always tinted, so if you wear prescription glasses, you will need to carry around both your glasses and sunglasses. 

Which is better - photochromic or polarised lenses?

Polarised and photochromic lenses have distinct qualities and advantages, making them great options for your collection. Generally, neither is considered better than the other.

Photochromic lenses are a great option for those who are always on the run, with one pair of glasses serving as eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Polarised lenses block out glare and reflections, not only improving vision but providing a level of safety, and are a great choice for outdoor activities.

Both types of lenses will protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays. The best choice is always individual, so it’s best to review the functionalities of each, consider your environment and budget and compare this to your lifestyle.

Depending on what you use your sunglasses for, one may be a better choice than the other. 

If a reduction in glare will benefit your performance in fishing or cycling, for example, you may choose polarised lenses. Photochromic lenses may be best for you if you need a pair of sunglasses for everyday wear.

Lenses don’t have to be complicated; consider the differences and your vision needs, so you can buy and wear what works for you. With so many options, it’s always best to be informed about your choices. 

Head to our Optical Centre to learn more about these lenses, or speak with one of our opticians. And remember, whether you purchase photochromic or polarised lenses, make sure they fit into frames that make you feel confident.

Plano lenses
SUMMARY

Plano lenses are eyeglasses lenses that don’t offer any vision correction.

They are generally used for aesthetic, safety and eye health reasons.

Glasses have many benefits, even if you have perfect vision. In this article, we will explain plano lenses, demo lenses, and the difference between plano lenses and prescription lenses. Discover why plano lenses are great for the workplace, sports, or to provide a realistic aesthetic to your look!

What are Plano lenses

Not all glasses require corrective lenses, and when this occurs, glasses can be fitted with two types of non-prescription lenses: demo or plano lenses. 

Plano lenses are ophthalmic lenses that do not have any power. Therefore, they do not help correct your vision. In the eyewear industry, plano-convex lenses are described as flat and do not refract or focus light through the lens. So if you have blurry vision, see double or can’t read the words right in front of you, then plano glasses are not going to help.

We recommend that you have an eye test to find out if you require any prescription to correct your vision. For example, you may need a prescription from your eye doctor to correct astigmatism to improve distance vision or you may even need a prescription suitable for reading glasses. If you notice any changes in vision or have not had an eye test with your doctor in two years, we recommend booking an appointment.

What does Plano mean on eye prescription?

The word plano is Latin for ‘flat,’ and if this is found in the SPH section of your prescription, it means you do not require nearsighted or farsighted correction. You will know if you require plano lenses if your eye prescription refers to ‘plano’, ‘PL’, or ‘0.00’, found under the sphere box (SPH) measurement section.

DID YOU KNOW
If 0.00 is written on your eyeglass prescription, this is equivalent to plano. This indicates that there is no refractive power and no corrective power is needed. Therefore, you do not have any distance problems with your sight.

What are Demo lenses?

Another type of non-prescription is demo lenses, and they are mainly used for demonstration purposes, such as for glasses displays in retail stores. Demo lenses can help you understand what prescription glasses or sunglasses look like before you purchase them.

Plano vs Demo lenses

Plano and demo lenses are not the same and should not be confused. Plano lenses are often made from CR39 lens material and are thicker than demo lenses. In addition to this, extra protective lens coatings can be added to a plano lens that can’t be added to demo lenses, like the following:

  • Anti-scratch coating
  • Blue light filter
  • Tinted lens coatings

Demo lenses are thinner, do not have any additional lens coatings, and sometimes also have printed brand labels on the lens. They are like a simulation of what the glasses can look like.

What are Plano lenses used for?

The various reasons why you’d want or need to wear plano glasses are:

  1. Aesthetic reasons: If you’re looking to change up your look, make a fashion statement, or add the finishing touch to your outfit, you might opt for plano lenses. They can be helpful in boosting a look or helping to frame an outfit without any vision correction.
  2. Safety reasons: In many workplaces, companies have to follow protective eyewear regulations to help prevent eye-related injuries. Safety glasses can help protect from hazardous elements such as chemicals. During the working day, you can also protect your eyes from glare or blue light emitted from digital devices with blue light glasses. Once you have chosen a pair of glasses you like, you can add blue light to them.
  3. Eye health issues: If you are blind in one eye or suffer from eye health issues, you may benefit from protecting your eyes with plano lenses.

Do you need Plano lenses?

If you are looking for eyewear for any of the reasons mentioned previously, then you may need plano glasses. 

You can wear any style of glasses or sunglasses with plano lenses and benefit from protective lens filters, such as UV protection. Plano lenses in glasses can also serve as protective eyewear, whether or not you need vision correction or prescription lenses.

You can even find plano contact lenses. So what does plano mean in contact lenses? Plano contact lenses are the same as plano in glasses; they do not help correct visual impairments. Usually, plano-coloured contact lenses fall into this category of non-prescription contacts that people wear mostly for cosmetic purposes.

Wear Plano glasses

Don’t need prescription glasses but still want to benefit from the trends, styles and protective lens coatings that eyeglasses and sunglasses provide? Plano lenses are what you are looking for.

Eyewear with plano lenses does not have any power values for vision correction and can also be used as PPE (personal protective eyewear). Whether you need to protect your eyes at work, on holiday or simply want to look fashionable, you can try to wear plano lenses. You can find a variety of eyewear with quality protective filters to help correct vision or improve your look with SmartBuyGlasses.

We recommend visiting your local optometrist for an up-to-date prescription to ensure you do not require single-vision lenses or progressive lenses with corrective power. If you need some quick advice, contact our online optician!

This guide explores the main lens materials, detailing their features, benefits and ideal uses to help you choose the perfect lenses for your needs.

There is much more to choosing a new pair of eyeglasses than looks–it’s not just about frame styles, cool shapes, or funky colors. 

Choosing the right glasses lens material also plays an important role in selecting the right eyewear for you and your vision. 

Glass, plastic, polycarbonate, and trivex are the lens materials available for eyeglass lenses. Learn all you need to know about each to find the most suitable choice for your needs.

What does the refractive index mean?

There are four main lens materials for eyeglasses and sunglasses. Each can help correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia

As this is how they are often categorised, to understand lens materials, it’s important to first understand what a refractive index is. 

The index of refraction indicates how fast light travels through a given material. Essentially, the higher the refractive index of a material, the slower light moves through it, which results in a more significant bending (refracting) of light rays.

With a higher refractive index, less lens material is required to bend light to the same degree as a lens with a lower refractive index.

In other words, for any eyeglass prescription, a lens made of a material with a high refractive index will be thinner than a lens made of a material with a lower refractive index.

Main glasses lens materials

Glass

Glass lenses provide visual clarity and are highly scratch-resistant due to their hard surface. However, glass lenses are heavy, thick, and have lower impact resistance.

Glass is the most complicated to handle of all the lens materials, and to comply with impact-resistant regulations, it can’t be used with all frame designs. In addition, glass lenses are also more expensive.

SmartBuyGlasses currently does not offer this type of lens.

Plastic

Plastic (CR-39) is the standard glasses lens material. Plastic lenses offer great optics and vision correction for refractive errors. They also block out 80% of UV light. 

These lenses are lighter and less likely to shatter than glass lenses. They are available in different lens indexes, meaning the customer can have plastic lens from 1.5 index to 1.6, 1.67 and 1.74.

High-index

High-index is not a lens material but a feature of certain plastic lenses. These lenses are great for individuals with strong prescriptions, as they are thinner, which many find to look more aesthetically pleasing. 

High-index lenses bend light more efficiently as they have a higher index of refraction. They also generally have superior optics and are very impact-resistant, though these factors will ultimately depend on the type of high-index material used – glass or plastic. 

Like many other lens types, high-index lenses provide quality UV protection.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate lenses are a popular material for eyewear, especially among active individuals and those who seek additional durability. They are thin, lightweight and impact-resistant, so they’re great lenses for all-day wear.

Their high-impact resistance makes them ideal for children, athletes, or anyone who needs safety glasses. They also offer built-in UV protection that blocks 100% of harmful UV rays without additional coatings. 

That said, they can be more prone to scratches than other materials, so pairing them with an anti-scratch coating is best.

Trivex

Trivex lenses are lightweight and durable, offering exceptional comfort and performance. Known for their sharp visual clarity, trivex lenses reduce distortions better than many alternatives, making them a top choice. 

Like polycarbonate lenses, Trivex is highly impact-resistant, making it ideal for children, athletes, and anyone with an active lifestyle. Additionally, these lenses provide built-in UV protection and are more scratch-resistant than many other materials, ensuring long-lasting wear.

Compared to polycarbonate, Trivex lenses are lighter and offer better optical clarity, though they are slightly more expensive.

Four types of glass lens materials. Plastic lenses, represented by an icon of a hand holding a leaf, are lightweight and provide some UV protection. Polycarbonate lenses, represented by an icon of a shield, are impact-resistant and offer UV protection. Glass lenses, represented by an icon of reflective lens, are known for their visual clarity and scratch resistance. Lastly, Trivex lenses, represented by a scales icon, combine lightweight properties with excellent visual clarity.

Lens coatings and add-ons

Lens materials are important, but they’re not the only factor to remember when choosing lens materials for your glasses: lens coatings also matter and can complement the chosen material.

Anti-reflective

With high-index or polycarbonate lenses, you’ll want to add an anti-reflective coating to avoid the lenses reflecting too much light– especially when driving.

zFORT® Blue light blocking

zFort® is an add-on that acts as a ‘fort-like’ protection for the eyes by limiting the reach of the harmful blue light wavelengths from digital screens. With this additional protection, you experience less glare, eye strain, headaches and improved sleep.

Blue light-blocking coating is a useful addition for everyone who spends time looking at screens, regardless of the material of your glasses lens.

Photochromic filters

Photochromic filters allow the lens tint to adapt to the lighting of your environment. When you move from indoors to outdoors, your glasses will transition to sunglasses– and vice versa. 

This filter can be applied to all glasses lens materials.

Polarisations

Polarised lenses protect against UV light and boost visibility by filtering out the horizontal glare that reflects off reflective surfaces, protecting the eyes from the discomfort caused by it. 

As a result, they significantly reduce squinting, making activities such as driving and performing sports in bright outdoor environments more comfortable.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lens materials should be chosen based on your prescription, frames and lifestyle. If you think your lens is missing something, add a coating such as  zFORT® Blue light blocking.

To summarise your options

  • Plastic lenses (CR-39) are the most affordable lens material and work best with a lower Rx.
  • Glass lenses are higher priced and difficult to pair with certain frame designs and sizes.
  • High index lenses work best for those who want thinner lenses but come at a higher cost.
  • Polycarbonate lenses and Trivex lenses are similar but do present some differences.

Which lens material is the best for me?

To determine what lens material is best for you, you should have an eye test to determine your vision correction requirements. You should also always first consult your eye doctor on what they think is the best lens material for your needs.

Once you have consulted your optician and have your prescription, you should consider the following factors before purchasing: comfort, aesthetics, optics, safety and cost.

If you wear glasses every day, you’ll want them to fit comfortably, look good and not weigh heavily on your face. Thinner lenses can tick all those boxes. 

On the other hand, though they are more noticeable in the frame and tend to be heavier, thicker lenses are more affordable and work fine with lower prescriptions. 

Still in doubt? Don’t fret, you can check out our Optical Centre for more information or speak to one of our dispensing opticians to clear any doubts about lenses and materials.

If you’ve been wearing prescription glasses for a while, then you’ve probably run into your fair share of issues with your lenses.

Who hasn’t? Scratches making them seem constantly dirty, smudges and fingerprints making them actually  dirty, water droplets obscuring your view, the list goes on. 

Contact lenses are one solution, but they’re not for everyone. If you want your new eyeglass lenses to do something about these irritations, then Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses are what you’ve been looking for. They offer incredible durability, pristine clarity, and optimal visual acuity. 

Arise Collective™ Clarity prescription lenses are made to deal with the challenges of everyday life and activities, but also offer high-level eye protection, making them suitable for any adventure or occasion.

What are Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses?

Arise Collective™ Clarity prescription lenses are some of the most complete prescription lenses on the market.

On top of their primary function of vision correction, they are designed to shield and protect the eyes, and provide greater comfort and durability than standard lenses.

They are premium quality lenses, and they’re the perfect choice for anyone who wants to get the most out of their prescription glasses.

They are available as single vision lenses or varifocal lenses, so handling your prescription requirements won’t be an issue.

Benefits of Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses

Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses are suited to all kinds of prescription requirements. They’re great for all vision impairments and can be tailored to your own eyesight needs.

If you’re looking for prescription glasses for reading, night driving, or for the most common eye conditions, they are more than up to the task.

Their lens material is coated with a number of special layers, equipping them to handle even the most adventurous lifestyles.

Standard prescription lenses, in general, can be easily broken and damaged, but Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses come with Impact X, a super-tough, impact-resistant coating that helps lenses handle the rough and tumble of life.

If scratches or glare are the bane of your life, then you’ll really appreciate the scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coatings, which can really improve your viewing experience.

UV 400 protection keeps your eyes safe from the sun’s harmful rays, while the superhydrophobic coating minimises the accumulation of those pesky water droplets that can obscure your vision. It also inhibits smudges and helps prevent dirt from clinging to the lenses, keeping them cleaner overall.  

Arise Collective™ Clarity prescription lenses have an aspheric shape, making them thinner and also more lightweight than many standard lenses. Our Arise Collective™ Clarity lens options offer a choice of different lens indexes, meaning three different levels of thinness, so you can choose a suitably thin version for your prescription.

All three Arise Collective™ Clarity lens options share the same superior lens quality, and have all of the features mentioned above. They are crafted using the latest technologies with lens materials that don’t compromise on either comfort or precision, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

DID YOU KNOW?

Arise Collective™Clarity lenses come in 1.5, 1.61 and 1.67 index varieties.

Arise Collective™ Clarity HD lenses

The Arise Collective™ Clarity lens options differ in terms of the thickness of the lenses, which is measured by their lens index. HD lenses have a lens index of 1.5, which is the thickest of the three options.

This lens index caters for people who don’t have severe vision problems, but is not suited to strong prescriptions.

Arise Collective™ Clarity 4K lenses

The Arise Collective™ Clarity 4k lenses are one of the most in-demand options due to their thinner appearance and lightweight feel.

As well as feeling lighter, these lenses tend to look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye and are favoured more by those who dislike the look of ‘chunky’ lenses.

Arise Collective™ Clarity 4K lenses are a strong choice for those with strong prescriptions, thanks to their higher lens index of 1.61. This also opens up a world of slender-rimmed frame possibilities.

Arise Collective™ Clarity 8K lenses

The thinner the better? If that sounds right to you, then the Arise Collective™ Clarity 8k lenses will be right up your street. 

As well as maintaining the same performance qualities as the other Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses, you’ll have an ultra-lightweight feel and even more of a subtle lens look. 

With a high index of 1.67, these lenses are the best option if your prescription has an SPH correction between +7.00 and  -8.00, and CYL correction up to +/- 4.00. Likewise, if you want to look your best in thin frames, the 8K lenses are for you.

Arise Collective™ Clarity varifocal lenses

Variofocal lenses accommodate three different prescriptions in a single lens, giving clear vision at near, intermediate and far distances when you look through the appropriate section of the lens.

The varifocal lens is a wonder of optical engineering in itself, but Arise Collective™ Clarity varifocals take things even further.

Compared to a standard varifocal lens, they have a 30% wider viewing area, and a gradual transition from one viewing zone to the next, meaning no visible lines between prescriptions. 

These two features make for quicker adaptation and greater overall comfort. And of course, none of the original qualities of the Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses are sacrificed, so you still get the best protection available.

What makes Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses different?

Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses offer the complete package, with a combination of features and qualities that is hard to find elsewhere.

As well as the numerous qualities that this gives them, Arise Collective™ Clarity lenses also come in lens indexes of 1.5, 1.61 and 1.67, so you can choose the thickness that suits your prescription and gives you maximum comfort, even with strong prescriptions.

A good pair of glasses can make a world of difference to your daily life, provided you’ve got some high quality lenses.

If you want to spend less time getting distracted by frustrations with your glasses, and more time concentrating on what’s important, consider the Arise Collective™ Clarity range next time you’re in need of some new prescription lenses.
