Explore Types of Eyeglasses and Lenses
Not sure which lens design is right for you? There are several types of eyeglasses and lens options available depending on your prescription, lifestyle, and how you use your glasses throughout the day.
Single Vision Lenses
Single vision lenses have one prescription throughout the lens and are commonly used to correct either distance or near vision.
Bifocals
Bifocal lenses provide both distance and near vision correction. The two areas are separated by a visible line in the lens.
Trifocals
Trifocal lenses provide correction for distance, intermediate, and near vision, with visible lines separating the different viewing areas.
Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses provide distance, intermediate, and near vision correction without the visible lines found in bifocals and trifocals.
Office and Computer Lenses
These lenses provide larger viewing areas for intermediate and near vision and may be useful for people who spend significant time working at a computer or doing close-up tasks.
Safety Eyewear and Lenses
Safety glasses provide additional eye protection during certain work, home, or recreational activities. Our opticians can help you find an option for your needs.
Photochromic Lenses
Photochromic lenses automatically darken when exposed to certain types of light and become clearer again indoors.
UV Protection
UV-protective lenses help reduce your eyes' exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Protection may be built into the lens or added as a treatment.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Anti-reflective coatings help reduce reflections on the surface of your lenses and may improve visual comfort during activities such as nighttime driving.
Blue-Light Filtering Lenses
Blue-light filtering lenses are designed to reduce some of the blue light reaching your eyes. Our opticians can explain the available options based on your preferences and screen use.
Choosing Eyeglasses That Fit Your Needs
Your prescription is only one part of choosing new glasses. Frame fit, lens design, your daily routine, and personal style can all play a role in finding eyewear that works well for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about choosing, replacing, or caring for your eyeglasses? Here are answers to some common questions from patients in Canandaigua, Geneva, Macedon, and surrounding Rochester-area communities.
How often should you get new eyeglasses?
You may need new eyeglasses when your prescription changes, your current glasses become damaged, or they're no longer comfortable. Regular eye exams can help determine when your prescription needs to be updated.
How do progressive lenses work?
Progressive lenses gradually transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision correction within a single lens. Unlike bifocals or trifocals, they don't have visible lines separating the different viewing areas.
How do I know my eyeglasses size?
Eyeglass frames typically include measurements for lens width, bridge width, and temple length. A licensed optician can help measure your fit and find frames that sit comfortably on your face.
How do I choose eyeglasses for my face shape?
Face shape can be a helpful starting point, but comfort, frame proportions, and personal style are just as important. Our opticians can help you compare different frame shapes and sizes in person.
Can you put new lenses in old frames?
In some cases, new prescription lenses can be placed in an existing frame if it's in suitable condition and compatible with the new lenses. Bring your frames to our optical department so our team can review your options.
