What Are Prescription Eyeglass Lenses?
Prescription eyeglass lenses are custom made lenses designed to correct refractive vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Your prescription is based on the results of a comprehensive eye exam.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prescription Eyeglass Lenses
What are prescription eyeglass lenses?
Prescription eyeglass lenses are custom made to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Your exact prescription is determined during a comprehensive eye exam.
What is the difference between single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses?
Single vision lenses correct one viewing distance. Bifocal lenses have two viewing areas, typically distance and near. Progressive lenses provide a smooth transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision without a visible line.
Do I need anti reflective coating on my lenses?
Anti reflective coating can reduce glare from headlights and screens, and it can help your vision feel clearer in many everyday situations. It is a popular choice for patients who drive at night or spend time on digital devices.
What are high index lenses?
High index lenses are designed to be thinner and lighter than standard lenses, especially for stronger prescriptions. This can improve comfort and appearance for many patients.
Can my eyeglass lenses help with computer or screen use?
Yes, computer lenses and certain lens enhancements can help support clearer vision at screen distance. Your eye doctor can recommend lens options based on your work and screen habits.
How often should I update my eyeglass prescription?
Many patients benefit from an annual eye exam, but the right schedule depends on your age, vision changes, and overall eye health. Your optometrist can recommend the best exam frequency for you.
