eyeglasses lenses at madeira optical in cincinnati

Quality lenses from top manufacturers perform better and last longer than typical
retailer lenses. Below are a few of the many lens products we recommend.

Anti-reflective (AR or Non-glare)
Reduce the glare that causes eye fatigue. Time spent in front of a computer and in
artificial lighting can create eye fatigue. In clinical studies, AR lenses were proven to
dramatically reduce eye fatigue caused by reflections that cause glare.

With ordinary lenses, headlights from other vehicles and city lights can create
distracting images during night driving that stress your eyes. AR lenses dramatically
reduce those annoying reflections while letting more light through the lens.

Eye contact is important to human interaction. AR lenses greatly reduce the
reflections others see on your glasses. Let them see you, not your lenses. Madeira
Optical features Hoya Super HiVision, Crizal, Crizal Alize and Zeiss anti-reflective.

Aspheric Lenses
Advance optical grinding process that creates a lens surface that is lighter and
thinner than standard plastic with less distortion as the wearer looks to the edge of
the lens. Also reduces the soda bottle effect of eye magnification/minification.
Perfect for those seeking superior optical performance throughout the lens.

High Index Lenses
Lighter and thinner lenses with thinner edge thickness that prevent the soda bottle
effect. Perfect high prescriptions. Madeira Optical features Seiko high index lenses.

Nikon Performance Package
The latest in technology for those who want a full featured lens with integrated
antireflective and hard scratch coat. Learn more at the Nikon Performance Package
web site.

Photochromics
Lenses that change tint from almost clear to sunglass tints based on the amount of
UV light hitting them. Perfect for people who engage in extended outdoor activity
that do not want separate sunglasses. Madeira Optical features Transitions
photochromics.

Polarized Sunglasses Lenses
Ordinary tinted lenses reduce brightness, only polarized lenses reduce glare.
Madeira Optical features KBco and NuPolar lenses.

Polycarbonate
Lighter, thinner and more impact resistant than basic plastic with integrated UV
protection. Recommended for most patients and minimum requirement for children
due to the safety benefit of polycarbonate impact resistance.

Progressives
Progressives are multi-focal lenses that have areas of correction for reading, mid-
distances and distance. Perfect for presbyopes (see Eye Care for info on
Presbyopia) who want the benefit of multiple focal distances with out lined bifocals or
reading glasses. Madeira Optical features Hoya GP Wide, Hoya Summit ECP, Hoya
HoyaluxID, Varilux Comfort, Liberty, Physio and Panamic progressives among many
choices.

The newest generation progressive design is Hoyalux iD, the world's first Integrated
Double Surface Progressive Lens, which is designed to promote the wearer’s
mobility and react to the behaviour of eyes. It provides balanced correction at all
distances and in all directions. No matter what correction power you need, you can
be sure that a modern multifocal lens from Hoya will allow you to see clearly.

Spectralite Lenses
Light and thin mid index lens that provides better acuity for hyperopes while
reducing the appearance of minification or magnification of the eye.

TD2 Scratch Coat
Tough two-sided scratch coating for those who are hard on glasses. Included in
Crizal anti-reflective.

Trivex
Newly developed lens material that is light and thin, impact resistant, and provides
superior optics. Great for semi-rimless, drill mounted lenses and children's lenses
because they combine impact resistance and superior optics. Phoenix is 60 times
more impact resistant and 19% lighter than standard plastic lenses. Madeira Optical
features the Phoenix Trivex lens by Hoya.
