Lens types

Here’s the different lenses types we can offer. Compare our prices to see how much you’ll save!

Single vision

Single-vision lenses correct a single refractive error, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, across the entire lens. 

Progressives

from $149

These are not stocked and take around 2 weeks to be ready. Regular progressives have a narrower field of vision in the reading part, but are usually fine everyday use.

Wide progressives

just $90 extra

These progressives give maximum vision without distortion by having extra wide vision areas for both the distance and reading parts of the lens. These give better distortion-free vision – great for active lifestyles.

Lens tints

Our most popular lens tint & colour options. Clear is free and all the others are great value!

Clear lenses

FREE!

We don’t charge anything extra for clear lenses. 

Sunglass tinting

$50

Enjoy life much better without having to squint or use fitovers! At this price it makes it easy to have a pair of clear glasses for everyday use and a pair of prescription sunglasses to keep in your car or for outdoor activities! The two colour options we offer are brown or grey.

Photochromic lenses

$80

Photochromic lenses quickly go clear when worn inside and dark outside, especially in bright sunlight. Saves you having to have two pairs of glasses. Commonly known as transitions. You can get either brown or grey tint for the dark aspect of the lenses.

Polarised lenses

$120

Polarized lenses reduce glare and reflected light much more effectively than a sunglass tint. Great for driving or any activities around water. Our polarized lenses are available in either brown or grey colour.

Blue light filter lenses

$30

Do a lot of screentime? Blue light filter glasses effectively block out the light that screens emit that can cause headaches and eyestrain. Although there is no clear evidence that blue light damages your eyes, there is plenty of evidence that they do make life much better for regular screen users!

Safety lenses

from $40

Do you need to wear safety glasses at work but find clumsy fit-over safety glasses a hassle? Our range of prescription safety glasses comply with NZ standards.
For just $80 you can get photochromic lenses added to any prescription.

Watch how quickly they change from light to dark as soon as you walk outside!

Saves you having to have a separate pair of sunglasses!
