Eyewear Selection Guide

Find a Frame That Fits Your Style.

A simple guide to frame proportions. Our optical team can help with final fit, comfort and prescription requirements.

Round

Structured frames can create contrast.

Oval

Many shapes work when proportions are balanced.

Square

Softer frame lines can add balance.

Heart

Balanced widths can complement proportions.

Oblong

Deeper frames can add visual balance.

LENS TECHNOLOGY

Precision in Every Lens.

Explore how each lens design works, how materials affect thickness, and how light-responsive technology changes with light.

Single Vision

One focal power across the lens for a distance, intermediate or near prescription. The supplied Smart Vision catalogue lists 1.50, 1.61, 1.67 and 1.74 single-vision options, with additional photochromic, UV420 and polycarbonate variants.

1.50Standard index option listed in the supplied catalogue.

1.61Higher-index option listed for thinner lens construction.

1.67Higher-index option for further thickness reduction.

1.74Very high-index option listed in the catalogue.

Flat-top bifocal lens showing distance and near segment

Bifocal / D-Bifocal

A bifocal lens combines distance and near correction in distinct viewing zones. The near segment is visibly defined in the lens; the supplied Smart Vision catalogue lists KT and D bifocal families, including UV420 and photochromic variants where specified.

KT / Round-topNear segment with a curved top boundary.

D-BifocalD-shaped near segment option.

Distance zonePrimary upper portion for distance viewing.

Near zoneLower segment designed for near tasks.

Progressive / Multifocal

Progressive lenses provide distance, intermediate and near vision through a continuous power progression rather than a visible bifocal line. The supplied Smart Vision catalogue lists ECO HD and Elite digital progressive families.

DistanceUpper viewing area.

IntermediateTransition zone for screens and mid-range tasks.

NearLower viewing area for reading.

Personalised fittingEssilor material documents monocular PD, fitting height, vertex distance, wrap, pantoscopic tilt and other measurements.

Photochromic lens indoor to sunlight transition

Transition / Photochromic

Photochromic lenses change their light transmission as lighting conditions change. The website should show the concept as a continuous response rather than claiming fixed universal percentages, because the actual activation level depends on the specific lens technology, temperature and environment.

IndoorClearer state in typical indoor conditions.

Light exposureLens darkening increases as exposure changes.

OutdoorDarkened state for brighter environments.

ReturnLens returns toward its clearer state as conditions change.

High Index — Why the Lens Can Be Thinner

For the same prescription and comparable lens design, a higher refractive index can allow the lens to achieve the required optical power with less material thickness. The exact finished thickness cannot be promised from index alone because it also depends on prescription, lens diameter, frame shape, decentration and design.

Illustrative thickness concept

1.50 → 1.61 → 1.67 → 1.74 represents increasing refractive index and a general trend toward thinner lens profiles. This is an educational visual, not a guaranteed millimetre calculation.

PrescriptionHigher powers generally make thickness more noticeable.

DiameterSmaller effective diameter can reduce edge thickness in minus powers.

Frame shapeFrame size and shape affect the finished lens.

Index1.61 / 1.67 / 1.74 are higher-index options listed in the supplied catalogue.

Polycarbonate

The supplied Smart Vision catalogue lists 1.59 polycarbonate and photochromic polycarbonate variants, including UV420 options. Final suitability depends on the prescription, frame and fitting requirements.

1.59Polycarbonate option listed in the catalogue.

PhotochromicPhotochromic polycarbonate variants are listed.

UV420UV420 polycarbonate variants are listed.

FittingFinal lens choice is confirmed against prescription and frame.

Coatings / Colour
