Our prescription lenses are manufactured by the world’s best suppliers. They all have an extensive experience in the industry, providing top-notch technology to meet a variety of vision needs.

Single-vision

This is the standard lens choice. Single-vision lenses use one  prescription over the whole surface of the lens — correcting either near, intermediate or distance vision.  Single-vision lenses are included in the price of our frames. That makes it KSh 6,500 for any pair that you choose.

Progressives

Around 40-45 years old, many people start having difficulty reading fine print and looking at things up-close. This condition is called presbyopia, and it’s nothing more than your eyes’ normal ageing process (you’ve joined the club if you have an “ADD” value on your prescription).

How they work

Progressive lenses are designed to incorporate both near and distance correction — allowing you to see everything clearly with a single pair. They provide a gradual transition in strength from top to bottom, making it convenient for intermediate viewing distance too. Basically, they mimic the natural vision you enjoyed before the onset of presbyopia.

How to get used to them

Know that it takes a bit of time and practice to adjust to progressive lenses. It’s important that you look through the correct part of the lens — the lower part when you’re reading, straight ahead for distance, and the sweet spot in-between for computer work. You might also experience some blurriness on the edges, but this sensation generally goes away after a few days. Don’t worry, you have 30 days to adjust to them. If it still doesn’t feel right, book an appointment with our optometrists and we’ll make all the necessary changes. This guarantee is on us.

Thin lenses

If your prescription is above +/- 4 dioptres (it’s this “SPH” number!), we recommend thin lenses for a better comfort. They are up to 20% thinner than our regular lenses. For especially high prescriptions of +/- 6 dioptres, thin lenses are required.
