Spectacle Lenses
World Class Optics
Spectrum Eyecare uses spectacle lens designs from around the world.
As a truly independent practice, we are in a position to source a very diverse range of products to achieve the best results possible for any given spectacle prescription.
Lens technology
Today Lens technology is very complex, with computer aided designs creating tailor made lenses for the individual rather than one design suits all. Impressions ILT is one such product.
We have moved on a little since the days of roman emperor Nero who apparently used to view the gladiatorial games looking through an emerald.
Photochromic
Photochromic lens manufacturing is still a closely guarded industry secret. Yet we all enjoy the benefits of lenses that can alter their depth of light filtering dependant on the ambient brightness.
Varifocals
For all of us maturing and finding our arms simply not long enough any more, we have the variable focus lenses. Largely known as Varifocals or Progressive lenses. Again the computer has come to the aid of the manufacturers to create lenses where the distortion inherent in this type of lens is now barely visible to the user.
Lens materials
Lens materials have changed enormously. Whereas once all lenses were made in glass, the vast majority are now made in plastics.
