Finding the perfect pair of prescription glasses can take a bit of time and research. With so many options, from fashion frames to specialized lenses, it can be difficult to settle on the ideal pair to wear every day. That’s where West Valley Vision Center in Fairbanks, AK, comes in — their optometrists will help you find the right glasses, starting with lens selection.

3 Lens Options For New Glasses

Polarized

Polarized lenses reduce glare from looking at reflective surfaces, making images appear sharper and clearer. They also provide UV protection and are available for nonprescription and prescription glasses. If you’re sensitive to light or tend to experience problems with glare, this is an excellent lens option. 

Light-Adaptive

Consider them if you want the convenience of having one pair of glasses or don’t want to purchase prescription sunglasses. 

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate lenses are popular with active, athletic people because they’re durable and impact-resistant. Polycarbonate lenses also are useful if you’re prone to dropping your glasses.
