There’s much more to prescription eyeglasses than putting your numbers into a pair of frames. Lens design, material, measurements, frame fit, and how you use your eyes can all shape your experience with your new glasses. Our opticians take the time to put those pieces together and explain your options, so you know what you’re getting.

Your Eyeglass Prescription Is Just the Starting Point
Two people can have similar prescriptions and need very different glasses. One may spend all day moving between computer screens and meetings, while another drives frequently, reads for hours, or needs clear vision at a specific working distance. We look at the bigger picture so your lenses fit your prescription and the way you use your eyes.

Prescription Glasses FAQs
Prescription glasses use lenses made according to an eyeglass prescription to correct your vision. The specific lens design, material, measurements, and frame can be selected based on your visual needs and how you plan to use your glasses.
Traditional bifocals have separate distance and near viewing areas divided by a visible line. Progressive lenses transition through distance, intermediate, and near viewing areas without that visible line.
Not necessarily. Some people are comfortable using their everyday glasses at the computer, while others may benefit from lenses designed around their specific working distances.
Absolutely. Frames can shift with everyday wear, and sometimes a small adjustment makes a big difference in comfort and fit. Bring your glasses back to Clear & Company Eye Care whenever they need a little attention.
Many vision plans include eyewear benefits, but coverage varies. Contact Clear & Company Eye Care with your vision insurance information, and our team can help you understand the benefits available through your individual plan.
Finding the Right Lenses
You don’t need to know the difference between every lens design before you walk into our optical. That’s our job. We’ll review your prescription, discuss where you need your clearest vision, and help you understand which options make sense for your eyes.
Single-Vision Lenses
Single-vision lenses use one prescription across the lens and can be designed for a specific visual need, such as distance or near vision.
Progressive Lenses
Combine distance, intermediate, and near vision into one pair of glasses without the visible lines found in bifocals. The different viewing areas let you shift between tasks.
Bifocal & Multifocal Lenses
When you need help seeing clearly at various distances, these lenses give you multiple options. Bifocals separate distance and near vision with a visible line, while multifocals offer different ways to accommodate changing visual needs.
Computer & Task-Specific Lenses
Depending on your needs, task-specific lenses can be designed around the distances you use most for computer work, reading, or other close and activities. We’ll look at how you spend your day before recommending whether a separate pair makes sense.
What Goes Into Choosing Your Eyeglass Lenses?
Your prescription matters, but so does your life outside the eye exam room. Dr. Taylor Randich considers how much time you spend reading, driving, working at a computer, moving between distances, and enjoying hobbies. Your previous eyewear experience matters too. Tell us what you loved, what drove you crazy, and what you wish worked better.
- Lens Materials & Features: Once we know what kind of vision correction you need, we can talk about the materials and features.
- High-Index Lenses: For stronger prescriptions, high-index materials can create thinner, lighter lenses.
- Polycarbonate & Trivex Lenses: Polycarbonate and Trivex are impact-resistant lens materials that may be useful for children, active lifestyles, and other situations where durability matters.
- Non-Glare Lenses: Anti-reflective, or non-glare, treatments reduce reflections from the surfaces of your lenses.
- Transitions® Light-Adaptive Lenses: Transitions® lenses respond to changing light conditions, darkening outdoors in response to UV light and returning toward clear indoors.
- Blue-Light Protection: Blue-light filtering is available for patients who prefer it as an option in their lenses.
We work with premium lens options, including Crizal®, and our opticians help you compare features relevant to your prescription.
Frames and Lenses Need to Work Together
Love the frames? Before we call it a match, we also need to make sure they work well with your prescription and lens choice. Frame size, shape, fit, and lens design can all influence the finished pair. Our opticians consider your frames and lenses together, helping you find eyewear that looks like you and works the way you need it to.
Kids’ glasses need to give your child clear vision, fit a growing face comfortably, and hold up to school, sports, play, and everything else childhood throws their way. We carry Tomato Glasses for children, and our opticians help pair your child’s prescription with lenses and frames selected for their age, visual needs, and everyday routine.
