At SpecSuperstore we offer a comprehensive range of single vision, bifocal and varifocal lenses with a full choice of indexes, tints and coatings and also Polarised or Transitions lenses for full UV protection. Our benchmark coating is our Super Antiglare coating which is Essilor's Crizal Forte coating with an included scotchgard layer.

Tints:
Tints are used for filtering bright light from your eyes. They can be purely cosmetic or can be needed for people that are sensitive to light. They are also used for sunglasses.
UV Coating:
UV Coatings filter out harmful rays from the sun that can damage the lens inside your eye.
Transitions VI or Light Sensitive Lenses
These lenses have a self adjusting tint that can go from a very pale tint in slightly sunny conditions to going to a very dark tint when it is very sunny. These lenses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays of the sun and are perfect for all the seasons. Please note that these lenses do not work as well inside a car as they do outside due to car windscreens being laminated. Specific sunglasses will work better inside a car. We only supply original Transitions lenses for all our photochromic lenses and are pleased to announce that all our supplied Transitions lenses will now be Transitions VI - the very latest in photochromic technology. Please click here for a demonstration how Transitions work when viewing through them.For more information on Transitions please visit their international website by clicking here.
Polarised Lenses:
Polarised lenses are tinted lenses that cut out horizontal glare produced by the sun. They filter out the unwanted rays and enable viewers to see things a lot crisper in bright sunlight.
Thin and light lenses or high index lenses:
High index lenses are used to make your lenses lighter and thinner. They are compressed lenses that offer better optical viewing through them. For higher prescriptions they not only reduce the weight by up to 50% but also reduce the thickness by up to 60% making them more attractive cosmetically. High index lenses are usually in the following form: 1.56 index, 1.59 index, 1.61 index, 1.67index and 1.74 index.
The higher the index, the thinner and lighter the lenses.
Safety lenses:
These lenses offer very high impact resistance to moving particles and are used in Safety Spectacles. They are usually in the form of 1.59 index Polycarbonate lenses. The lenses are soft and can significantly reduce the risk of eye damage when using machinery.
Occupational lenses:
These are specific lenses designed for a particular use in spectacles.
Swimming Goggles:
We are able to offer prescription swimming goggles in a variety of colours, sizes and design. The lenses sometimes do not have your exact prescription in but it will be very close for what you need when swimming.
Diving Masks:
We are able to offer diving masks made to your prescription in many different styles, colours and sizes. Some of these goggles can have your exact prescription put in whilst others use standard prescription ranges that will be very close to your prescription.
