Lens Recommendations That Help Your Glasses Perform Better
An anti-reflective (AR) coating, such as Crizal, is a multi-layer treatment applied to the surface of your lenses that eliminates the distracting reflections caused by light bouncing off the lens. Without AR coating, your lenses can reflect overhead lighting, oncoming headlights, and screen glare directly into your eyes, causing eye strain, reduced contrast, and difficulty seeing clearly in low-light conditions.
With Crizal anti-reflective coating, up to 99.4% of available light passes through your lenses to your eyes, dramatically improving visual clarity and reducing fatigue. Your lenses also become nearly invisible on your face, allowing others to see your eyes rather than distracting reflections. AR coatings are particularly valuable for night drivers, computer users, students, and anyone who works under artificial lighting for extended periods. At Royalton Eye Care, we consider Crizal coating one of the most worthwhile investments you can make in your eyewear.
Bifocals divide your lens into two distinct zones, distance on top and reading on the bottom, separated by a visible line. When your eyes cross that line, the change in power is abrupt, which some people find jarring and difficult to adapt to. Bifocals also lack an intermediate zone, which means tasks like using a computer that require vision at an arm's-length distance are not well served by traditional bifocals.
Progressive lenses, by contrast, provide a gradual, continuous change in lens power from distance through intermediate to near, all in one lens with no visible line. This creates a more natural visual experience that closely mirrors how the human eye is designed to work. Modern progressive designs like Varilux offer significantly wider clear zones and faster adaptation than older progressive designs. Most patients adapt comfortably within a few days to a week, and many describe the experience as a significant improvement over bifocals. Our team will guide you through the adaptation process and ensure your lenses are fitted precisely for your prescription and frame choice.
Absolutely. Prescription sunglass lenses are one of the most practical and underutilized vision solutions available. At Royalton Eye Care, we can apply your full prescription, including progressive or single vision correction, to a wide range of sunglass frames and lens tints, so you never have to choose between sun protection and clear vision.
Options include polarized lenses to eliminate glare from water, roads, and reflective surfaces; photochromic lenses that automatically darken outdoors and lighten indoors; gradient tints for a stylish look with UV protection; and mirrored coatings for high-glare environments like snow or open water. All prescription sunglass lenses at our optical include UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation—an important part of long-term eye health. Ask our optical team during your next visit to explore the full range of options.
Turnaround time depends on your prescription complexity and the lens options you choose. Most standard single vision and basic progressive lenses are completed within 7–10 business days. More complex prescriptions, specialty lens designs, or premium coatings may take a few additional days.
Our team will give you an accurate estimate at the time of your order and will contact you as soon as your glasses are ready. When you come in to pick them up, we'll adjust the fit and verify that your lenses match your prescription before you leave.
If you have a time-sensitive need, such as a broken or lost pair, let us know, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Proper care helps your lenses stay clear, extends their lifespan, and protects any coatings applied to them. Here are our recommendations:
Use a microfiber cloth—always clean your lenses with a clean, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or clothing, which can leave micro-scratches on the lens surface over time.
Use an approved lens cleaner—lens cleaning spray or a small amount of dish soap with lukewarm water are safe for most coated lenses. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, which can break down anti-reflective coatings.
Rinse before wiping—rinsing your lenses under water first removes abrasive particles that could scratch the surface during cleaning.
Store your glasses properly—use a hard case when you're not wearing your glasses, and always set them lens-side up when placing them on a surface.
If you have questions about caring for a specific coating or lens type, our team at Royalton Eye Care is happy to help during your next visit.
Many vision insurance plans include a lens benefit that covers a basic lens type, with the option to apply that benefit toward premium lens upgrades, such as progressive lenses, anti-reflective coatings, blue light filtering, or high-index materials, with an out-of-pocket copay for the difference. The exact coverage varies by plan, so the amount you'll pay depends on your specific insurance benefits.
At Royalton Eye Care, our team is happy to walk you through your coverage options before you choose your lenses. We'll help you understand what your plan covers, what upgrades are available, and what your expected out-of-pocket cost will be, so there are no surprises at checkout.
