Why are we different

Advanced technology allows us to customise your lenses to give enhanced clarity and comfort.

Nautilus VR

Nautilus is our very latest piece of Virtual Reality technology from one of our lens companies Essilor. Our headset uses a small iPod screen which allows demonstration of different types of lenses especially Varilux and sunwear lenses. The screen within the headset allows our patients to experience how the lenses will work and feel before they commit to the lenses.

Essilor Crizal Sapphire UV

Crizal Sapphire is a stack of lens enhancing layers designed to sit on the front and back of the lens. Together, the layers work to protect the wearer’s eyes from UV light, deliver lens protection and optimal vision.

Water Repellency

Microscopic gaps in the coating are filled with Hydrophobic (water repellent) molecules. Therefore, smoothing the surface of the lens, which allows water droplets to roll from the lens surface without leaving a trace.

Dust Repellency

An anti-static layer prevents positive dust particles sitting on the lens.

Scratch Resistance

Lenses are protected by a scratch resistant booster, a nano millimetre layer located behind the AR layer. The scratch resistant booster layer is designed to gradually increases in hardness

Smudge Repellency

Smudges appear on lenses due to uneven nano molecules found on the surface of coatings. By smoothing fluorinated molecules into a consistent pattern Crizal Forte coatings offer a superior smudge repellence.

Crizal Drive is a new premium anti-reflective coating that offers impeccable clarity of vision.

Thanks to the coating performance reflections are up to 90% less when driving at night. We recommend this lens for patients with a lifestyle that involves frequent driving as it has 90%less reflections when driving at night.
