Your eyes are remarkable devices that allow you to understand the enviroment around you, but they are also fragile and at risk of infection, damage or any other ocular disorder.

This section is only meant to be a guide so it is important that if you do have a serious eye disorder or complaint you consult your GP for further advice.

Photochromatic Lenses
Photochromatic Lenses are lenses that are clear indoors but darken and tint in response to sunlight. They are commonly referred to as ‘Transition Lenses’ which, like calling your Dyson the hoover, is actually a brand name. Transition Lenses are the most well-known and generally regarded as the best, hence their name being synonymous with photochromatic lenses. Other terms for these lenses are Reactions, Sun Sensors or Colormatics.

Astigmatism is very common with most people who wear glasses having a degree of Astigmatism correction built in to their prescription.

Wake up with perfectly round eyes and remove the lenses for 20/20 vision all day... no need for glasses or daytime contacts. Repeat every night. It’s a process called Orthokeratology, hence which the clinical name for Night Lenses is Ortho-K lenses.
