High-index lenses are designed to be thin and light, making them more comfortable for daily use, especially for those who require strong prescription lenses.

Clearer vision starts with the right glasses lenses.
Find the right lens for you
From blue light lenses for screen use to specialised lens coatings and multifocal lenses that help you see effortlessly throughout the day, Eyecare Plus offers prescription lens options tailored to manage your eye health and match your lifestyle.
High index
Scratch resistance
Scratch-resistant lens coatings help protect your lenses from everyday abrasions and scratches, making them more durable and helping them maintain their clarity for longer. This coating is ideal for everyday lenses, especially for those who enjoy outdoor activities, play sports, or work in environments where lenses are more exposed to wear and tear.
Water repellent
A water-repelling lens coating causes water to roll off your glasses’ lenses while reducing the buildup of smudges and fingerprints, making your lenses easier to clean and keeping your vision clear in rainy, humid, or wet conditions.
Anti dust
An anti–static lens coating protects your glasses from dust and dirt, ensuring clearer vision. They’re ideal if you work outdoors, on construction sites or in workshops.
Computer glasses
Staring at a screen for a long period of time can lead to digital eye strain. Lenses for screen use help alleviate digital eye strain symptoms, including blurred vision and headaches, by helping you see your screen clearly and reducing squinting and tiredness.
Polarised sunglasses
Polarised sunglasses reduce eye strain and eliminate the harsh glare from highly reflective surfaces like snow and water. Polarised sunglasses are great for outdoor sports, water activities, and fishing.
UV protection
Protecting your eyes from UV rays is as important as protecting your skin – adding a UV coating on your clear lenses blocks the sun’s harmful UV rays, helping to maintain your vision.
Transitions®
Transitions® lenses or photochromic lenses react to UV light, automatically darkening into sunglasses when you step outside and fading back to traditional clear glasses lenses when you’re indoors.
Blue light
Get fitted with blue light lenses that filter blue light emitted by screens and devices, helping reduce eye strain, headaches, and disrupted sleep caused by extended screen time.
Anti glare
An anti-reflective coating reduces the reflections you normally see on lenses. Anti-glare lenses are great for everyone, especially those who work with computers, are outdoors, and drive.
Bifocal
Bifocal lenses have two prescriptions that allow you to see clearly at both near and distance.
Multifocal
Progressive lenses gradually shift in power from top to bottom, giving you clear vision at every distance, near, intermediate, and far, all in a single pair of glasses lenses.
Single vision
Single-vision prescription lenses are set at a single viewing distance to treat short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hyperopia).

Prescription Lens FAQs
What are multifocal lenses?
They’re advanced optical lenses that combine multiple prescriptions in one lens, helping you see at multiple distances: near, intermediate and distant. Multifocal lenses help you complete various tasks, such as driving, reading, and working on a computer, without needing to change glasses lenses for a more comfortable wear.
Are blue light lenses worth it?
If you spend a lot of time in front of screens before bed, blue light glasses can help reduce the feeling of focusing fatigue and dry eyes caused by digital eye strain, ensuring you have more comfortable vision.
What lens coatings should I choose?
Different lens treatments are developed to match your needs and lifestyle. The most popular lens coatings people often opt for include:
- Anti-glare lenses
- Blue light lenses
- Scratch resistance
- Water and smudge resistant
How often should prescription lenses be updated?
If you already wear prescription lenses, you should be tested annually to observe any changes in your vision. You might need to organise an eye exam more frequently depending on your age to update your lenses, contact lenses or prescription sunglasses.
- Minors under 18 have developing eyes and should undergo an eye examination each year.
- People between 18 and 60 should visit their optometrist every one to two years, provided ‘normal’ vision remains stable.
- Adults aged 60 and over need annual eye tests to screen for age-related eye conditions.
Can I order my prescription lenses online?
No, we provide a personalised service each time you visit your local Eyecare Plus practice. It’s also a great opportunity to retest your eyes, as it’s normal for your vision to change from one year to the next.
