Lensology's Lens types
Lenses for any vision needs
Single Vision
Lensology's single vision lenses come in three types –
Distance Correcting Lenses (also referred to as Everyday Lenses). Used by people who need help focusing on far away objects. If you use glasses for driving or watch TV, they probably have Distance Correcting Lenses.
Near Vision Lenses. Used in reading glasses by people who need help focusing on nearby objects.
Intermediate Lenses. Used by people who spend a lot of time at a computer screen or similar activities at roughly arm’s length.
Varifocal Vision
Varifocals are designed to give you consistent and continuous clarity of focus across all distances with one single lens. They can be described as having three portions of the lens. The top of the lens is used for seeing things at a distance, the middle for intermediate viewing, and reading/close work at the bottom.
All varifocals have a certain amount of unavoidable peripheral distortion or soft focus towards the outside of the lens. This distortion can be mitigated and minimised by opting for a higher quality, more modern design of lens.
Non-Prescription
Lensology's non-prescription lenses are crafted in our UK lab and available with a huge range of options, coatings and finishes to suit every style and lifestyle.

Cheaper than the High Street
I was after a cheaper way to reglaze my glasses than offered in High Street stores and I've found it 🙂 . I started with a basic pair of single vision lenses with an anti-glare coating and got back exactly what I ordered, perfectly good, clear lenses. I've just received my reglazed Polaroid sunglasses and they are perfect and crystal clear. I miss getting my glasses fitted properly at a store, but its a small issue compared to the cost saving. Overall I'm very happy with my experience and I will continue to use Lensology in the future.

Third time ordering and always the best!! Quick email responses, already knew how the system worked so i emailed all the info needed at once and got my quote in a matter of hours. Love that youre able to get a helpful email response quickly by the team.Expected my glasses to come in a week but took literally 2 days! Shocked at the quick turn around time but amazing as always. As someone who has ordered 3 times over the past few prescriptions, i recommend using Lensology as you know your frames are in good hands. Very happy, will always stick to Lensology for my future frames.

Shipping was quick, and the quality of the lenses is great.
I'm always skeptical when I have to order anything from outside the US. This order was handled perfectly, the company shipped the lenses right away, and communicated throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to order from them again. Well done.
