Lenses

The Lenses are the Most Important Part of your Eyeglasses...

However, many patients spend the majority of their time looking for frames and give little thought to their lenses.
At Eyes of Chicago, we simplify the process for you by keeping our knowledge current. Our opticians learn about and try every lens design so that you don't have to! We will provide you with the best lenses that meet your budget without sacrificing quality so that you can achieve the best vision possible.

PROGRESSIVE ADDITION LENSES

Progressive addition lenses are an improved lens solution available to presbyopic patients. There are no lines visible in the lens itself and smooth transitions occur between each prescription level. We only provide the best lenses to our patients including premium designs by top lens manufacturers Essilor and Shamir. These lenses offer sharp, natural vision at all distances while maximizing lens space and allowing natural head posturing. Each progressive lens is assembled using custom measurements provided by our opticians in order to provide each patient with a unique lens.

EYEZEN ANTI-FATIGUE LENSES

Due to technological advancements, we are spending an increasing amount of time focusing on screens from digital devices, which can take a toll on your eyes. Eyezen lenses feature a small prescription boost in the lower portion of the lens to help your eyes relax while reading from digital screens for long periods of time. This lens is available in four different levels, making it customizable to your visual needs. Eyezen lenses also contain a Smart Blue Filter that reduces your exposure to harmful blue-violet light.

CRIZAL No-GLARE LENSES

An anti-reflective treatment is an important component that we recommend to all of our patients. When light beam strikes an ordinary lens (shown left) it bounces off of the lens surface repeatedly, causing glare in your vision. An anti-reflective treated lens (shown right) acts as a netting that results in reduced glare. In fact, anti-reflective treatments are so important for clear vision that our phoropter, an instrument used to determine your prescription during your eye exam, has been treated with an anti-reflective. Our preferred anti-reflective option are Crizal No-Glare Lenses because they are the most durable and provide you with the clearest vision possible.

The key benefits of Crizal lenses are:

Glare reduction
Scratch resistance
Smudge resistance
Water repellant
Dust repellant
UV Protection SPF 25

TransitionS SIGNATURE Lenses

Transitions Signature lenses seamlessly adapt to the changing light in your environment. These lenses block 100% of UVA/UVB rays and protect your eyes from harmful blue-violet light, both indoors and outdoors.

TRANSITIONS STYLE COLORS

Now available in four new and stunning colors, Transitions lenses can be adapted to your color preference and light sensitivity. Transitions Style Colors are available in the majority of prescriptions and lens materials.

TRANSITIONS XTRACTIVE MIRRORS

Wanting to rock the mirrored sun look without switching to another pair of sunglasses? Transitions Xtractive Mirrors have a slight tint indoors, develop a flash mirror in mid lighting, and are a full solid mirror in direct sunlight. Available in a variety of colors, prescriptions, and lens materials.

XPERIO UV POLARIZED LENSES

When you put on your sunglasses, you may think you are protecting your eyes, but in actuality many sunglass lenses provide little to no protection against the suns harmful rays. Even many polarized lenses only contain an SPF level of 15 which is insufficient on a bright, sunny day. XPERIO UV polarized lenses provide the best sun protection with an SPF level of 50, provide excellent color perception, and are extremely durable.

These lenses are available in any prescription and come in multiple color options or mirror finishes.
