Optical Information

We are specialists in all types of lenses. At B&D Opticians we pride ourselves on customising the best lenses for you, we discuss all the available options with you. Whatever lens selection you make you can be assured that it will be of high quality and edged into the frame safely and accurately. Our high tech in-house lab will provide you with the latest thin lenses which are usually available in one hour.

There are a number of optical lenses available today including:

Single vision lenses

A one-power lens designed to give accurate focus, for distance, computer and or reading.

Bifocal lenses

A two-power lens designed to give accurate focus for distance and computer or reading.

Varifocal lenses

A multi-power lens gradually changing in focus from distance at the top, to close reading at the bottom. This is the preferred option for many as there are no visible lines or power jump as associated with bifocal lenses.

There are many other options available, which we will be happy to discuss with you, these include: Thinner and lighter lenses, Tints, Photochromatic lenses, Anti-reflection coatings and Polarised lenses.

Photochromic lenses

Lenses which change from almost clear indoors to dark sunglasses outdoors. We supply the very latest photochromic technology which now changes from light to dark in an amazingly quick time.

Thinner and lighter lenses

As experts in dispensing, you can be assured that we will always offer you the thinnest, lightest lenses available.

Anti-reflective coatings

Lens coatings which eliminate most of the annoying reflections and glare that uncoated lenses can give.
