See the Difference: Lens Technology That Matches Your Vision
At Cook & Hayden Vision Care Center, we know your eyeglasses should reflect the same clear, comfortable vision you experienced during your exam. That’s why we offer lenses built on the latest advancements in optical technology—because quality vision starts with quality products.
From advanced progressive lenses to crystal-clear anti-glare coatings, we offer a wide range of lens options designed to enhance how you see and feel throughout your day. Just like any technology, lenses evolve—and newer innovations provide sharper, more natural vision than ever before.
We understand that cost can vary depending on the level of technology. An anti-glare lens might be available for $10, while a premium anti-glare lens could cost more—but the difference is in the experience. It’s like comparing earlier generation tech to today’s newest models: both work, but one is designed to be better and do more.
For patients looking for budget-friendly solutions, we also offer tried-and-true lens designs that have stood the test of time. While they may not offer the same modern features, they’re still safe, effective, and tailored to your prescription.
Your eyes are with you every moment of every day. Choosing lenses backed by proven technology is an investment in how well you see—and how well you live.
Here are some of the most common eyeglass lens types:
- Transition lenses – These lenses are made of dynamic materials that automatically adjust to the level of surrounding light. They can take the place of prescription sunglasses and help block UV rays.
- UV coated lenses – UV coating can be applied to regular eyeglasses unless the lens is made with polycarbonate. UV coated lenses look like any other lens – the coating is transparent.
- Tinted sunglass lenses – If you are getting prescription sunglasses, you might want to get tinted eyeglasses instead. These look like sunglasses and protect the health of your eyes by keeping out UV rays, but technically they aren’t true sunglasses.
- Scratch-resistant coating – A transparent coating that helps protect glass lenses from those annoying scratches. Scratch-resistant coating is especially useful for children’s eyeglasses.
- Plastic lenses – Plastic lenses make the entire eyeglasses weigh significantly less than glass lens eyeglasses. If you are a person who dislikes feeling the weight of eyeglasses on your nose, this lightweight alternative might be right for you.
- Thinner lenses – The special polycarbonate lenses greatly reduce the thickness of the lenses so that the eyeglass profile is more attractive. Thinner lenses come in thin, extra-thin and thinnest available.
- Anti-glare lenses – Anti-glare lenses are dipped in a special material to make them less reflective than regular eyeglass lenses. This coating also improves the function of the eyeglasses because less light is lost and the wearer enjoys very clear vision.
