Lenses

 
 

 

 
    There are many facets to spectacle lenses to consider when creating a set of eyeglasses. The composition of a spectacle lens consists of the lens style, type, material, and premium qualities if any. Below are the different categories with a brief description along with links  for an in-depth look at each categories structure.  
       
       
   

Lens Styles

 
   

The lens style identifies what function the lens may serve, whether it is no prescription or a prescription lens to help address visual correction. The lens style helps to identify the lens' spherical power (Plus + or Minus -) or if it has no prescription. However, there are other faucets to prescription lenses like a cylinder and/or ADD power to accommodate correction needed for astigmatism and presbyopia.
