High-tech lenses: are they for you?

The market is filled with a variety of high-tech lenses. Here are 3 examples often recommended by the experts at Opto-Réseau.

FOR THE SPORTS ENTHUSIAST

The right lenses can make all the difference when practicing your favourite outdoor activities. We have a wide selection of options from renowned brands such as Hoya, Zeiss, Nikon, and Essilor that will help you protect your eyes from UV rays, glare, wind, and dust. Our experts will be able to recommend the right product for you.

Light-reactive lenses are perfect for sports enthusiasts who don’t want to carry two pairs of glasses with them. The lenses darken in bright conditions and return to clear indoors. Julbo now offers this type of lens for their frames that are very popular with our clients. Ideal for anyone who loves outdoor adventures, especially mountain bikers.

If you’re still unsure if you’d like regular sunglasses, light-reactive lenses, or contact lenses, consider the following: comfort, security, the environment, and the sport you practice. If you still need help choosing, our experts will be happy to help.

SCLERAL LENSES

Scleral lenses are increasing in popularity. That’s because they are custom-made to meet a specific need and are larger than regular contact lenses. They’re used to provide a comfortable, crisp vision to patients suffering from severe astigmatism or presbyopia. They can also be prescribed to patients with eye problems such as keratoconus or dry eye syndrome.

CONTACT LENSES TO RELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS OF ALLERGIES

Acuvue Theravision lenses with Ketotifen are the first and only medication-releasing lenses that relieve itchy eyes due to allergies. These daily disposable contact lenses will help you say goodbye to itchy eyes and allergy eye drops.
