Several pairs of glasses displayed in the practice.

Prescription glasses

  • Single-vision glasses

    Stock organic lenses in indexes 1.5 and 1.6, with a hydrophobic anti-reflective coating.

    More information Single-vision glasses

    Index 1.5 is the long-established organic material: clear vision, low weight and good impact resistance. It is usually the choice up to about ±2.00 dioptres and for full-rim frames. Index 1.6 is thinner and lighter, about 20% less thickness than 1.5 for the same prescription. It suits medium prescriptions, from about ±2.00 to ±4.00, and it is the right lens for rimless frames or semi-rimless frames with a nylon cord. The hydrophobic anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from lights and screens, sheds water and keeps the lens cleaner.

  • Progressive glasses

    A personal fitting with Indo, Essilor, Kodak and BBGR, and a two-month adaptation guarantee.

    More information Progressive glasses

    We help you choose the frame that suits you best. Then we take all the measurements needed so your glasses fit perfectly and you get used to them effortlessly. 99% of our customers adapt without any problems and, for your peace of mind, we offer a 60-day adaptation guarantee.

  • High myopia

    From about −6.00 dioptres we choose the index so the lens weighs less and the eyes do not look smaller.

    More information High myopia

    If you are very short-sighted, your lenses may have thick edges and weigh more than they should. The solution lies in the material: we choose the right refractive index for your prescription, so your lenses are thinner, lighter and better looking. We work with trusted brands such as Indo, Essilor, Kodak and BBGR.
