At Clarity Vision in Holly Springs, NC, we believe in helping our patients make informed decisions about their eye health, and that includes understanding your eyewear options. Today’s lens technology offers far more than just vision correction. From anti-glare coatings to blue light filtering, your lenses can be customized to fit your lifestyle, work habits, and visual needs.

Anti-Glare (Anti-Reflective) Coating

Anti-glare coating, also known as anti-reflective (AR) coating, is a must-have for many eyeglass wearers. This coating reduces reflections on your lenses from screens, headlights, and indoor lighting. The result is sharper, clearer vision (especially at night) and less eye strain during prolonged screen time. AR coatings also improve the cosmetic appearance of your glasses by making the lenses look nearly invisible. If you do a lot of driving or computer work, this option is highly recommended.

Blue Light Filtering

In today’s digital world, we’re exposed to blue light constantly through smartphones, tablets, computers, and LED lighting. Blue light filtering lenses are designed to block a portion of this high-energy visible light, helping to reduce digital eye strain, improve sleep quality, and prevent long-term damage to the retina.

While blue light filtering lenses aren’t necessary for everyone, they’re particularly beneficial for those who spend hours in front of screens each day. At Clarity Vision, we can help you determine if this option is right for you during your eye exam.

Photochromic Lenses

Also known as transition lenses, photochromic lenses automatically darken in sunlight and clear up indoors. This offers the convenience of not having to switch between prescription glasses and sunglasses. They provide UV protection and reduce glare outdoors—perfect for people who are frequently on the go.

High-Index Lenses

If you have a strong prescription, high-index lenses are thinner and lighter than traditional lenses. They offer the same vision correction without the bulk, making them a great choice for both comfort and aesthetics.

Polycarbonate and Trivex Lenses

Both of these materials are impact-resistant and ideal for active lifestyles or children’s eyewear. They also provide UV protection, making them a smart and safe choice for sports or work environments where eye protection is critical.

Why Routine Eye Exams Matter

Selecting the right lens options is important, but so is making sure your prescription and eye health are current. Routine eye exams allow us to:
 

• Detect vision changes early

• Monitor for conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy

• Update your prescription for optimal vision

• Recommend lens technologies that suit your evolving needs
