Quality Eyeglass Lenses in Lethbridge
Tatebe Optometry offers quality eyeglass lenses in Lethbridge. A proper eyeglass lens not only affects how you see but also how you want to be seen by others. We understand choosing the right look for your face can be a daunting task. We have a wide variety of styles to choose from and you can rely on our staff to help you find the best fit depending on your needs.
We have different kinds of lenses which include:
- Single vision: This is the most common type of lens and features a single field of vision or one prescription power throughout the entire lens.
- Bifocal: This type of lens contains two separate and distinct prescriptions, usually for distance and reading. These are also known as “the ones with the line across the bottom”.
- Progressive: These lenses have a natural range of powers from distance to near with no lines. A progressive lens can also be adjusted to contain a certain range from intermediate to near vision. These are commonly known as office/computer lenses.
Apart from the various types of lenses, we also have lenses with respect to colours, tints and coatings. These are:
- Photochromatic: These lenses darken when exposed to UV light rays. The benefit of using photochromatic lenses is they shield your eyes from the harmful UVA and UVB rays.
- Tinted: These lenses have a tint on them. Tinted lenses may feature a light tint to cut out glare or improve the vision and a darker tint that acts more like a sunglass.
- Polarized lenses: Polarized lenses help in cutting out the glare caused by reflections off shiny surfaces.
- Anti-reflective coating: These lenses decrease the strain and reflection caused by headlights or computer screens. It makes your lens clearer and eyes more visible.
- Anti-fatigue blue light filters: These lenses decrease the amount of harmful blue light that comes from electronic devices. In turn, these lenses reduce eyestrain. They are especially useful for those spending long hours on the computer.
