Guide des Verres

The main types of prescription lenses are single vision, progressive, anti-fatigue, and reading. Single vision corrects one field of vision, progressives blend distance, intermediate, and near vision into one seamless lens, anti-fatigue reduces digital eye strain, and reading lenses magnify for close-up tasks. Each base type can be finished with additional options like blue light filtering, sun tints, photochromic, or therapeutic tints.

At Kraywoods, standard prescription lenses are included with every frame at no additional cost. HD lenses with premium anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and UV coatings come standard on every pair. Specialty upgrades like blue light filtering, photochromic, Transitions®, sun tints, and therapeutic tints are available for an additional charge. Elsewhere, prescription lens costs vary widely based on lens type, coatings, and prescription strength.

Single vision lenses correct one field of vision (distance, intermediate, or near) with a uniform prescription across the lens. Progressive lenses correct all three fields in a single lens, using a gradual transition from distance vision at the top to near vision at the bottom, without visible lines. Single vision is ideal if you only need help with one range, while progressives suit people who need correction for multiple ranges and prefer one pair over switching between glasses.

The right lens type depends on your prescription and how you use your glasses day to day. Single vision works for those who only need correction for distance, intermediate, or near. Progressives suit anyone with multiple prescription needs in one pair. Anti-fatigue is designed for long hours on screens, and reading lenses are built for close-up tasks. If you're unsure, our certified in-house optician reviews every prescription and can help match your needs to the right lens type.

Most prescription lenses can be fitted into frames designed for prescription use, but not every frame. Frame material, thickness, and shape affect what lens types can be installed. High prescriptions may require frames that support thicker lens indexes, and some wraparound or oversized styles have limitations. At Kraywoods, every frame is designed to hold prescription lenses, and our optician confirms fit during the custom-made process.

Yes, prescription lenses can be fitted into most sunglass frames. At Kraywoods, every prescription sunglasses frame is available with polarized options for glare reduction and full UV protection. Choose your frame, upload your prescription, and select from single vision, progressive, or specialty lens types. Our certified in house optician reviews every prescription before your custom-made pair is finished.

Yes, prescription lenses can be tinted, polarized, or made photochromic. At Kraywoods, you can add a basic tint, gradient tint, or polarized tint to any prescription pair, plus light-adaptive options like Signature Photochromic, Transitions® GEN S™, and Transitions® XTRActive®. Therapeutic tints (Yellow 450, Green 450, Brown 550, Purple FL-41) are also available for light sensitivity and specialty needs.
