Our Different Types of Eyeglass Lenses and Coatings

Vienna Eyecare Center offers a wide range of eyeglasses to help improve your visual acuity and comfort. With so many choices of lenses, frames, and coatings, how do you know which would be best for you? To help you decide, our expert optometrists discuss these options in detail.

Our Eyeglass Lenses

We will perform a comprehensive eye exam in Reston, VA, to assess your eyesight. If you have difficulties seeing near or distant objects, we may prescribe bifocal lenses. The upper part of these lenses improves far-range vision, while the lower section can help you see nearby objects better. Our progressive lenses offer the same features, but without a visible line separating the two lens powers—some clients prefer this option aesthetically.

For people with minor visual impairments, our aspheric lenses, which feature a gradually curved lens, are an ideal option. If you have a strong prescription, on the other hand, our Hi-Index lenses are your best choice; they feature lightweight lens material for added comfort. Finally, our polycarbonate lenses offer durability, impact resistance, and built-in UV protection, making these a perfect solution for people with an active lifestyle.

Our Special Coatings

For additional protection, we offer special coatings for your eyeglasses in Fairfax, VA. Our anti-reflective coating can help reduce glare sensitivity and prevent eye strain. These are a great choice if you drive frequently during the night.

We also offer UV protection coating that guarantees 100% blockage against the sun’s harmful rays, reducing your risk of developing eye sunburn, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Built with scratch-resistant coating, your lenses will provide many years’ worth of clear vision.

Finding the Right Combination

Our expert optometrists have the knowledge and experience to help you choose eyeglasses that both correct your vision and suit your lifestyle and preferences. We also offer contact lenses in Tysons Corner, VA, as another reliable corrective eyewear option. Call us at (703) 938-7633 or complete our online form so we can set an appointment for your eye exam and eyewear fitting.
