But it isn't appropriate to make a sale just to show high volume when the product is subpar according to modern standards. There are problems with old lens designs and that is why new lens designs are developed, in an effort to eliminate those problems.
People who wear glasses know what they don't like about them. For most that is that they scratch too easily, they get dirty too quickly and don't clean well. For progressive lens wearers, the biggest complaints are difficulty walking with them on and the lenses distort their vision to the sides causing dizziness or a feeling of tunnel vision. These problems are what lens manufacturers spend millions of dollars trying to fix. That is why old lenses will never be as good as the newer lenses. We now have lens coatings that make the lens 3-6X more scratch resistant than a few years ago and nearly as scratch resistant as glass. These same coatings repel water, oils and dust so they don't get dirty as quickly. And the smudges that do get on them wipe off quickly and completely when you do clean them. For progressive lens wearers, the newer designs have been able to reduce distortion on the sides of your vision so that you can use much more of the lens. This means you don't have to turn your head as much to look at things like you have to in the old lens designs. Also, the new designs remove aberrations in the progressive so your vision is much clearer and sharper than ever before. All this makes for much more comfortable vision in progressive lenses.

All of these features are much better than they used to be with technology from 10-20 years ago. These designs are also never available at a big box store optical. So, when it's time to update your glasses, come to our office and let us show you the superior products we offer at a great value. You will find yourself spending much less time on return visits and will always be more satisfied with clearer, crisper vision due to the most durable smudge and scratch-resistant lenses. back
