Your optician at Spectrum Eye Care will ask you questions about your life – what you do for work, whether you have a commute or not, and hobbies – and will take your prescription into account when recommending eyeglass frames and lenses. Shopping for eyeglasses can feel overwhelming, but our experienced team is here to guide you and help you make the right choices.
Frames
Eyeglass frame materials and shapes vary, and the right pair of eyeglass frames should accommodate the lenses required to correct your vision.

Lenses
The eyeglass lenses and lens treatments you choose should help you see clearly in all facets of your life, including driving, using a computer, reading a book, looking at your phone, playing sports, and more.
Eyeglass lens types include:
- Single vision lenses: These lenses have one dioptric power used throughout the entire lens. They are used to correct vision for both near and far distances.
- Bifocal lenses: These lenses contain two prescriptions that have a dividing line between them. The top of the lens corrects for farsightedness and the bottom corrects for nearsightedness.
- Trifocal lenses: These lenses include three prescriptions separated by lines and correct faraway, intermediate, and near vision.
- Progressive lenses: These lenses also offer multiple prescriptions in one lens, but they are line-free, offering a smooth transition when shifting your view between the prescriptions.
Eyeglass lens materials can include polycarbonate, trivex, and high index plastic. Our lenses can be treated for added benefits including UV-blocking treatment, photochromic treatment, scratch-resistant coating, and glare control coating to make your vision experience even more comfortable.
We offer the highest quality lenses and lens treatments, including the following:
Crizal No Glare Lenses provide you with superior protection against glare, scratches, smudges, and UV light.
Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses fit every lifestyle and every age. Not only do they adjust from fully clear indoors to the perfect tint outdoors, but they also block dangerous UV rays and filter Harmful Blue Light, which can be found outdoors and from digital devices.
Varilux progressive lenses provide sharp vision at every distance—even in dimly lit conditions—that eliminates the blurriness, off-balance feeling, and low-light issues of ordinary progressive lenses. Bifocal lenses only allow you to clearly see far away and up close. Objects at arm’s length will still appear blurry. Additionally, there is an abrupt change between the near and far viewing areas. Varilux progressive lenses provide sharp vision and smooth transitions at any distance.
