We offer two additional coating options for clear lenses. (1) Blue Light filter or (2) Transition coating. Find more information about the coatings here.

When placing your prescription order you&apos;ll be asked if you want to add extra coatings for your lenses. The two options for clear lenses is Blue Light coating or Transition coating. Find more information about the coatings below:BLUE LIGHT What is Blue Light? Blue light is emitted from digital screens like computers, smartphones, and TVs, as well as from LED lighting. Prolonged exposure&#x2014;especially at night&#x2014;can cause eye strain, headaches, and even sleep disruption.How does the Blue Light coating work? Our Blue Light coating acts as a filter that blocks harmful blue-violet light while allowing beneficial light to pass through. This coating is particularly helpful for those who spend significant time in front of screens, as it reduces digital eye strain and helps protect against long-term eye damage.Benefits of Blue Light coating:<ul><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Reduces eye strain and fatigue during screen use</li><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Minimizes glare for more comfortable viewing</li><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Helps maintain healthier sleep patterns</li></ul>If you will be using your glasses as reading glasses and often look at screens, we recommend you to add this coating to your lenses.TRANSITION What are Transition lenses? Transition lenses, also known as photochromic lenses, automatically adapt to changing light conditions. They work like magic and eliminates the need to switch between clear glasses and sunglasses. Indoors, they remain clear, while outdoors, they darken in response to sunlight.&#xA0;How do Transition lenses work? Transition lenses contain molecules that react to UV rays from the sun. When exposed to UV light, the lenses darken, providing protection from glare and harmful UV rays. Once you&apos;re back indoors and away from UV light, the lenses return to their clear state.Benefits of Transition lenses:<ul><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Automatically adjust to changing light conditions</li><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Eliminate the need for separate prescription sunglasses</li><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Protect your eyes from 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays</li><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Reduce glare for more comfortable outdoor vision</li></ul>The lenses are convenient for anyone who frequently moves between indoor and outdoor environments - or just wants to avoid the hassle of switching between regular glasses and sunglasses.

You can choose to have your lenses polarised. Read about what the coating is beneficial for and get more information about why you should add it to your prescription lenses.

When ordering your prescription sunglasses you can choose to have your lenses polarised. Read about what the coating is beneficial for and get more information about why you should add it to your prescription lenses.&#xA0;What are polarised lenses? Polarised lenses are specifically designed to reduce glare from surfaces like water, snow, glass, and roads. This makes them an excellent choice for activities like driving, fishing, skiing, and spending time near bodies of water where glare can be particularly harsh.How do polarised lenses work? Glare occurs when light reflects off flat surfaces, such as a wet road or a lake. Polarised lenses have a special filter that blocks this intense, reflected light, allowing you to see more clearly and comfortably. Unlike regular tinted sunglasses, which simply darken everything, polarised lenses selectively block the most disruptive light waves.&#xA0;Benefits of polarised lenses:<ul><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Reduces glare: Provides clearer vision in bright, reflective conditions.</li><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Enhances color and contrast: Improves the vibrancy of colours and sharpness of details.</li><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Improves visual comfort: Minimises eye strain caused by intense sunlight.</li><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ideal for outdoor activities: Perfect for driving, boating, skiing, and other outdoor activities where glare can be an issue.</li><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Protects against UV rays: Like all our sunglasses, polarised lenses provide full protection from UVA and UVB rays.</li></ul>When to choose polarised lenses:<ul><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If you spend time outdoors, especially around water or in bright, sunny conditions.</li><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If you&#x2019;re a driver, they reduce the harsh glare from roads and other vehicles, improving your safety and comfort.</li><li style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If you enjoy outdoor sports, such as fishing, skiing, or hiking, polarised lenses can greatly enhance your visual experience by reducing glare and improving clarity.</li></ul>Should I choose polarised lenses? Polarised lenses are ideal for anyone who regularly faces intense sunlight or glare. Whether you&apos;re driving, engaging in outdoor sports, or simply spending time outside, these lenses will give you clearer, more comfortable vision. We recommend adding the coating if you&apos;re ordering distance glasses and are planning on using them for driving or outdoor.
