Did You Know?
Polycarbonate Lenses
Polycarbonate is the current industry standard for safety glasses, sport goggles and kid’s eyewear. Polycarbonate, also called poly, is a near-unbreakable form of plastic.
When you get a polycarbonate lenses, you also get a lens that is:
- Impact resistant – While not 100% shatterproof, a polycarbonate lens is extremely durable. Poly can be up to 10 times more impact-resistant than other lens materials.
- UV blocking – A polycarbonate lens absorbs and blocks almost 100% of UV radiation. This protects your eyes from the short- and long-term health complications created by UV exposure.
- Thin – Compared to other lens materials, poly can be made thin while keeping its durability and vision corrective properties. They’re also lightweight, making polycarbonate lenses easier and more comfortable to wear.
- Customizable – Various coatings can be applied to a polycarbonate lens, such as anti-glare or blue-light filtering coats. This allows for versatile eyewear that is able to meet your specific needs.
Anti-Reflective or Anti-Glare Lenses
Crizal anti-reflective or anti-glare coating is composed of ultra-thin, transparent layers that are placed on the front and back surfaces of the lens itself to reduce the amount of light that reflects on it. This allows you to get the maximum light from the environment you’re in, without any visual interference from reflections.
Crizal Anti-Glare lenses give you the clearest vision possible, so you’re ready for whatever comes your way—glare, scratches, smudges, and even UV light.
Photochromic or Changeable Lenses
Transitions® lenses are the #1 eye care professional-recommended photochromic lenses worldwide. Transitions® lenses are equipped with patented, photochromic dyes that enable the lenses to rapidly activate, or darken, when they are exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet light. The greater the intensity of UV rays, the darker the lenses become. When UV light is no longer present, including indoors or at night, the lenses fade back to their original state.

That’s why we offer complimentary adjustments, cleanings, and expert advice on new or previously purchased eyewear.
