Thin & Light lenses

At Vision Express we recommend Thin & Light lenses to give you the best looking and most comfortable glasses possible.

Lenses can be made of various materials of varying weight and thickness – the overall result depends on the density of the lens material as well as your personal prescription. As a general rule, if you are long sighted your lenses are thickest in the middle, and the opposite is true if you are short-sighted (the lenses are thickest at the edges).

Thin & Light lenses reduce the overall thickness of your lenses, giving them a lighter feel and improving appearance. All come with super easy-clean surfaces that last longer, and are anti-reflection for clear vision without distractions.

Anti-reflective coating

The curved surface of glasses lenses, along with the materials they are made from, cause reflections. In fact, you can lose around 10% of light through reflections on lenses. These reflections can be distracting and appear unattractive.

An anti-reflective coating allows for clearer vision by reducing reflections, allowing 99.8% of the light through the lens and ensuring distractions to your vision are minimal. Your glasses' appearance is also improved, as others can see your eyes rather than reflections of light. See the difference with our anti-reflection demonstration.

At Vision Express all our anti-reflection lenses include the latest technological development – a super-hydrophobic coating, which can now make your lenses resistant to condensation, water-repellent and easier to clean.

Scratch resistant coating

Scratch resistant lenses provide protection from everyday accidental damage. The hard coating prolongs the life of the lens, whilst simultaneously providing clearer vision.

At Vision Express all of our lenses include a scratch resistant coating as standard.
