Lens Options

Choosing Spectacle Lenses

At Vision 2 Opticians, we aim to ensure that the lenses you choose not only suit your visual needs, but your lifestyle too.

There are spectacle lenses available for a wide variety of uses and not all lenses will suit every occasion. For instance, one pair may suit your working environment but not your hobbies and vice-versa.

This is why we may recommend one or more pairs of lenses for your prescription.

There are many different extra options that are available to you when you are choosing your spectacles. Many of them with make your spectacles look better and also your spectacles will function better for you. For example, an anti-reflection coating.
