At Cochise Eye & laser, our goal is to provide the most
accurate fabrication of your eyeglass prescription using the highest quality
materials available. We stock scratch resistant plastic and polycarbonate
lenses.
Below are some of the types of lenses you have to choose from depending on what
your prescription requires.
 High
Index Lenses
If you hate thick prescription eyeglasses, try high index lenses. They offer
superior optics in a thinner lens design.
Multifocal Lenses
Bifocals and trifocals come in many configurations, depending on whether you
sit at the computer all day, play golf, work on automobiles, etc. Here's what
you need to know to choose the right bifocal lens or trifocal lens for your
presbyopia. We will be glad to have you visit us at one of our office locatoins
for a consultation.
Progressive Addition Lenses
Progressive lenses are multifocal lenses that gives you three focal points.
Unlike traditional multifocal lenses, progressives allow the person to see in
the distance, near, and also the intermediate. This intermediate focal point
allows the patients to use a computer, read music, or anything in between the
distance and near focal points. Another benefit of progressive lenses is that
there isn't a line. This makes progressive lenses cosmetically pleasing to the
eye. If you are presbyopic, then you may be a candidate for progressive lenses.
Lens Coatings
Anti-reflective coating, UV coating, and scratch-resistant coating are options
that make lenses more attractive and longer-lasting. We explain how they work
and why you should consider them the next time you purchase eyeglasses.
Photochromics and Tints
Photochromic lenses (also called variable-tint lenses or transition lenses)
that darken in the sun are convenient for people who spend a lot of time
outdoors. Transition lenses actually adjust to the light you are in. Transition
lenses darken in outdoor light and quickly become virtually clear so your eyes
are always comfortable. Photochromic lenses maybe right for your active
lifestyle.
Polycarbonate
The most impact-resistant lens material, polycarbonate lenses are also thinner
than regular plastic lenses and are great for active people, especially kids.
Allergic to Eyeglasses? Do certain frame or nose pad materials irritate your
skin? Tell your eye doctor, so he or she can help you find a pair you can wear
comfortably. See if contacts are more
appropriate for you.
