Rx FAQ

  1. Do I have Single Vision, Progressive, or Bifocal?

    A Single Vision lens is a standard Rx lens. Single Vision is used to correct one field of vision, the entire lens has ONE correction. If your prescription does not include and "ADD", you have a single vision prescription.

    A Bifocal or Progressive lens has TWO areas of correction on the lens. On a Bifocal lens, these two areas are separated by a line, usually somewhere on the bottom half of the lens. A Progressive lens is a no-line bifocal. The two areas are separated by a smooth transition, and no line is visible. If your prescription includes an "ADD" your lenses will be Progressive or Bifocal.

  2. What is PD? How do I obtain it?

    The PD (Pupilary Distance) is the measurement of the distance between your pupils. This measurement is essential in order to properly make your Rx lenses. If it is not on your prescription you can ask your eye doctor, they may have it on file. Otherwise you can measure it yourself or visit any optometry office.

  3. What is the difference between CR-39, Polycarbonate (PC) and Hi-Index?

    CR-39 is a standard lens. It is the least expensive. It is shatterproof and offers adequate scratch resistance.

    Polycarbonate (PC) is recommended for prescriptions above +2.50 or below -2.50. PC is a lighter, thinner and more scratch resistant lens than a CR-39.

    Hi-Index is an ultra thin lens and recommended for prescriptions above +5.00 or below -5.00.
