Life is harder when you can’t see what’s ahead of you. No, we’re not speaking figuratively. Myopia is a major challenge to a normal lifestyle, one that is endured by a large portion of modern society. Most people who wear glasses are near sighted and must handle their vision correction methods every day. This is […]

High index lenses have been around for a fairly long time, but in many places people are only just now beginning to hear about and ask for them. If you are one of the many members of the glasses wearing population, you may have recently heard about the potential of high index lenses for reducing […]

If you’re looking for quality lenses, they are a natural choice.
