Lenses

Every lens option, with its price set beside it.

Lens prices are confusing when they arrive as one bundled number. Ours are posted: a base lens for how you see, then add-ons you can say yes or no to, one at a time.

Base lenses

Start with how you need to see.

Single vision
from $150 a pair
One prescription across the whole lens, set up for distance or for reading.
Progressives
from $450 a pair
Distance at the top, reading at the bottom and the in-between in the middle, with no visible line. We take a fitting height on your chosen frame so the zones land where your eyes do.
Office lenses
from $320 a pair
Set up for desk and screen distances, from your keyboard out to the far side of a meeting table. Often a second pair for work.

Every base lens includes a scratch-resistant hard coat and UV filtering at no extra charge.

Thinner lenses

Thinner, by the number.

Higher index lenses bend light more, so the same prescription can be ground thinner. Whether that's worth it depends on your prescription and the frame, so we show you the edge thickness on your frame before you decide.

Not sure an add-on is worth it for you? Ask. If we don't think you need it, we'll say so.
