Our experienced staff at Ottawa Eyecare is available to inform patients about the latest technology in lens and frame options:

Lens Material

Polycarbonate Lenses


  • Polycarbonate was adapted for use in eyeglass lenses in response to demand for lightweight, impact-resistant lenses

  • Polycarbonate lenses have become the standard for safety glasses, sports goggles and children's eyewear.

  • They are less likely to fracture than regular plastic lenses

Trivex Lenses

  • Another lightweight, impact-resistant material for eyeglass lenses

  • An excellent lens material for safety applications and children's eyewear

  • Lenses have the advantage of sharper optics than injection-molded polycarbonate lenses

SUPER WIDE, EASY TO USE & COMFORTABLE PROGRESSIVE LENS

This lens is a task specific lens designed for sitting at a computer/reading (cannot be used for driving). The lenses are great for people who use progressive lenses or bifocals and are still having trouble at the computer. Easier adjusting to the lenses by wider intermediate and reading area, less distortions on the sides and smoother vision for any sight.

Lens Options

Anti-Glare/Anti-Reflective Coating

  • Reduces distracting reflections

  • Makes lenses more resistant to scratches

  • Smudge resistant and water and dust repellent

Polarized Sunglasses

  • Polarized lenses are helpful for reducing glare increasing color perception when you are driving, boating, or playing sports
