Which lens do you need: screens, driving or sun?

The frame is what people see. The lens is what you see. A quick guide to digital, drive, photochromic and progressive lenses.

Two pairs of glasses with the same power can feel completely different. The difference is the lens design and its coatings. Here are the four types people ask us about most.

Digital lenses

For long hours on laptops and phones. They reduce glare from screens and can filter part of the blue light. Good for office work and students.

Drive lenses

Designed to reduce glare from oncoming headlights and to keep the road and the dashboard clear. Useful if you drive often at night.

Photochromic and sun lenses

Photochromic lenses turn dark in sunlight and clear again indoors, so one pair works all day. Sun lenses with your power are another option for bright Jammu summers.

Progressive lenses

For people who need help with both near and far vision. Near, middle and far zones in a single pair, with no visible line.

As a certified ZEISS Vision Expert, we recommend the lens after your eye test, based on how you actually use your eyes.

Book an eye test at any Oscar Optician store in Channi Himmat, Amphalla or Maheshpura. Message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm a time that suits you.
