Designer frames in Walnut Creek

There are many different kinds of eyeglass lenses available at our quality practice. What is right for one patient may not be best for another. The ideal lenses for you will be based on many factors. When you choose Shigio Optometric Group, our professionals will not only ensure you get the lenses that will meet your needs but the best designer frames in Walnut Creek as well.

Some of the many kinds of lenses we offer at our Shigio Optometric Group include: progressives, high index plastic, polycarbonate, trivex aspheric, and photochromic.  The right lens type for you needs to be based on your individual needs and situation. High Index Plastic eyeglass lenses and aspheric would be good if you seek a flatter and slimmer lens surface and look. Both of them are a lot flatter and thinner than most of the lenses. If you have more than one vision problem but don’t like visible lines, then progressive lenses might be a great option for you. Progressive lenses permit a progression of many lens powers just like bifocals and trifocals but minus the noticeable lines that some people dislike. Progressives are great because they enable the patient to look in all directions and see clearly. They allow the patient to look down to read, look ahead to view objects within short distances clearly and to look straight ahead and see objects across the room clearly. If safety is your main concern, then Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are two very good options. Polycarbonate lenses are very light-weight and are impact-resistant. They are considered to be the standard lenses for safety. Polycarbonate lenses provide UV protection and are used to make children’s eyewear, sports eyewear and safety goggles. Trivex lenses also provide UV protection and are also light-weight, thin and more impact-resistant than regular glasses. If light sensitivity is a problem for you then Photochromic lenses are a very great choice. They will automatically darken when they’re worn outside and are exposed to sunlight.
