Enhancing Your Vision: Exploring Different Lens Choices  

 

At Factory Glasses Direct, we understand how important it is to find the perfect pair of glasses – ones that fit your face, complement your style, and offer the best possible vision. That’s why we strive to help you find your ideal pair at a much lower cost. Whether you’re looking for a basic single-vision lens, or something more advanced like progressive lenses with anti-scratch coating, we have got you covered. We also offer a range of frames from leading brands – so you are sure to find something you love with Factory Glasses Direct. 

 
If you are looking to add a personal touch to your glasses, you can easily turn any frame into prescription sunglasses by adding dark sunglasses tints when you personalise your glasses at the checkout. Our dark tints comply with all the relevant safety standards and regulations and are available in a wide range of colours, from classic black to bright colours that perfectly match your style. Furthermore, our sunglasses tints offer 100% UV protection, ensuring your eyes are protected from the sun’s harmful rays. So, if you are looking for a unique and stylish look, start personalising your eyewear with dark sunglasses tints today. 

Single vision lenses 

Single vision lenses are intended to aid in focusing on objects either close-up (“Reading”), at a distance (“Distance”), or within arm’s reach (“Computer” or “Intermediate”) only. 

If you wish to gain a greater range of vision if you struggle to see across two different ranges, then Bifocal or Varifocal lenses may be necessary to achieve optimal sight with your glasses. 

 

Glasses that Suit Your Personality and life style - Enhancing Your Vision: Exploring Different Lens Choices

Bifocal lenses 

Bifocals are crafted to facilitate clear vision at both short and long range. There is an obvious division between the distance-viewing and reading portions of the lenses creating a distinct line across the lenses. 

The upper portion facilitates seeing long distances, while the lower portion is aimed for near sight such as reading. 

Varifocal lenses 

Varifocal lenses are engineered to help you focus on objects near, far and everything in between. Providing wearers with crystal-clear vision for all distances, they offer a seamless transition from far-off vision at the top of the lens, through mid-distance in the middle portion, all the way to close-up vision at the bottom. 

Those needing to transition between long, medium, and short distances regularly will find this product ideal

Exploring Different Lens Choices: What We Stock  

Factory Glasses Direct offers a wide range of lenses to meet your needs – from regular glasses to sunglasses and BlueReflect™ lenses to guard your eyes from High Energy Visible blue light. 

Transform your beloved frame into a prescription sunglass set for optimal visual accuracy. 

Clear lenses

For everyday use, Clear lenses are suitable. If you regularly use digital devices (computer, tablet, smartphone, or TV) for an extended period, we suggest BlueReflect™ lenses to ensure optimum comfort. 

 

Blue Reflect lenses 

If you are someone who spends a lot of time using digital devices like computers, tablets, smartphones, or TVs, you might want to consider the benefits of BlueReflect™ lenses. These lenses come equipped with a special coating that is designed to decrease the amount of High Energy Visible blue light that is emitted by screens and artificial lighting, which can ultimately help reduce eye strain and fatigue. Not only that, but the scratch-resistant coating and anti-glare properties of the BlueReflect™ lenses can also improve overall visual clarity and make it easier to focus on the task at hand. So, if you are looking for a way to make your digital device usage more comfortable and efficient, BlueReflect™ lenses could be a great option to explore. 

Gradual tint sunglasses 

Driving with graduated lenses can greatly improve your vision by adjusting the amount of light that enters your eyes. These lenses are designed to darken the upper portion of the lens while leaving the lower half lighter. Additionally, they offer superior protection against both UVA and UVB rays, making them a great choice for anyone looking to take extra care of their eyes. Whether you need tinted lenses or not, you can be sure that your eyes are well protected with this innovative technology. 

Dark tints for sunglasses 

Protect your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB radiation with the advanced UV400 coating on our sunglass’s lenses. For enhanced visual comfort and to reduce eye fatigue, we highly recommend our polarised lenses. 

Polarised sunglass lenses 

Polarized lenses offer a variety of benefits to ensure optimal vision. These lenses filter out 99.7% of glare from reflected light, absorb 85% of visible light, and provide full protection from UVA and UVB radiation. This ensures greater visual comfort and clarity, reduced eye strain, improved contrast, and true-to-life colour perception. 

Protecting your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB radiation should be a top priority when it comes to choosing the right pair of sunglasses. That is why our eyewear comes with an advanced UV400 coating on the lenses, which blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays. This coating not only protects your eyes from long-term damage, such as cataracts and macular degeneration, but also prevents short-term discomfort such as eye strain, headaches, and sensitivity to light.  

For even more enhanced visual comfort and to reduce eye fatigue, we highly recommend our polarised lenses. These lenses work by reducing glare, which is particularly useful when driving, fishing, or participating in any outdoor activity where there is a lot of reflected light. Polarised lenses also enhance contrast, making colours appear more vibrant and clearer. Not only do they provide clearer vision, but they also reduce eye fatigue, which means you can wear them for longer periods of time without experiencing discomfort. 

TRANSITIONS® LIGHT INTELLIGENT LENSES 

Transformative lenses are highly advanced, photochromic lenses that are engineered to adapt to the ever-changing light conditions, transitioning from crystal clear indoors to a darker shade when exposed to the sun’s rays. With these lenses, you can rest assured that your eyes are well-protected from both UVA and UVB radiation as well as harmful blue light emanating from the sun and electronic devices.
