Providing Prescription Lenses in Newcastle

Types of Lenses

There are so many different options for your glasses/lenses but not all are suitable for every person as and everyone’s eyes and needs are different. The most common lens types are:

• Single vision lenses: They are the simplest and easiest lenses for distance, intermediate or near as separate single vision lenses.
• Multifocal & Anti Fatigue lenses: Digitally integrate distance, intermediate and near all in one to create a smooth can continuous visual experience.
• Enhanced reading lenses: Magic reading lenses that combine intermediate for computers and near for close up and keyboard. With the addition of a Blue Zero blue light filter these lenses make it far easier to get through your day with a smooth and comfortable working experience for your eyes.
• Bifocal lenses: Correct both distance and near with a visible dividing line on the lenses separating both sections. They can be difficult for intermediate (arm’s length) vision and are becoming outdated as multifocal technology advances.

Optical Lab & Lens Process

Here at EyeMax EyeCare, we have an optical lab to provide onsite cutting and fitting of lenses for in-house assembly. We personally cut, fit and check almost all lenses from single vision to multifocal lenses making a more personal and cared for experience as we check all details of your glasses and lenses before we give them to you. If your own frame is in good condition, we are also able to fit new lenses into your own existing frame without sending them away.

Unlike large corporations, we are dedicated to giving you the best quality and most reliable lenses that are easy to clean and easy to wear. Lenses are made in the shape of a large circle using convex and concave shapes to create your prescription. They are the cut from this circular shape from a traced shape of the frame chosen. Lenses are also cut taking in account of your eye’s pupil distance – the distance of how far apart your eyes are – and often how your eyes sit in the depth of the frame.

We source most of our lenses from our lens lab in Brisbane, QLD, made in Australia. Their high-tech process of making and coating your lenses allows for the best quality and best vision and adaptability to give you the best vision possible. Our other lens labs still provide quality but can be more budget friendly for those only needing single vision reading or distance glasses.
