Choosing the right prescription lenses is essential for clear vision and comfort. At SpecSMART Eye Clinic Ikoyi, our qualified optometrists and skilled opticians guide you through the lens options, helping you select what suits your eyes, lifestyle, and budget best.
1. Single Vision Lenses
These have a uniform prescription across the entire lens and are ideal for treating myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia (reading glasses). They are the most commonly prescribed and perfect for first-time users.
2. Bifocal Lenses
Bifocals feature two distinct prescription zones separated by a visible line—upper for distance and lower for near vision. They are often prescribed for presbyopia or accommodative issues.
3. Progressive (Varifocal) Lenses
Progressive lenses provide a smooth, line-free transition between multiple prescriptions for near, intermediate, and distance vision. They are excellent for computer use and modern lifestyle needs, offering discreet and continuous focus adjustment.
4. Lens Enhancements and Coatings
SpecSMART offers a variety of enhancements to optimize your lenses:
-
Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare and improve clarity

Blue light filters protect against harmful digital screen rays
-
Scratch-resistant surfaces extend lens durability
