Ophthalmic lenses, the sophisticated term for corrective lenses, are precisely engineered to address a variety of refractive errors. At Westwood & Montrose, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive selection of advanced lens technologies. From single-vision to progressive lenses, and specialized coatings to materials, we're equipped to provide optimal visual clarity. Discover the possibilities below, and schedule a consultation with our experienced eye doctor Jilber Fouladian to determine the ideal solution for your vision."
Unlock Sharper Vision with High-Definition Lenses.
If your corrected vision feels lacking, even at 20/20, high-definition lenses can make a significant difference. They address subtle aberrations that standard lenses miss, providing improved clarity and reduced glare.

Enhanced Clarity and Sharpness:
High-definition lenses are designed to minimize or eliminate higher-order aberrations, which are subtle imperfections in the eye's optical system that traditional lenses may not correct. This results in sharper, clearer vision, with increased detail and definition.
Improved Vision in All Lighting Conditions:
These lenses often provide superior vision in low-light conditions, reducing glare and halos around lights, which is particularly beneficial for nighttime driving.
They also enhance contrast sensitivity, making it easier to distinguish between subtle shades of light and dark.
Wider Field of Vision:
High-definition lenses can offer a wider field of vision, particularly for progressive lens wearers, allowing for smoother transitions between near, intermediate, and distance vision.
Personalized Vision Correction:
These lenses are often customized to the individual's unique eye characteristics, providing a more precise and tailored vision correction.
This customization is achieved through advanced digital lens manufacturing.
Reduced Eye Strain:
By providing clearer and more comfortable vision, high-definition lenses can help reduce eye strain, especially during prolonged use of digital devices or when performing detailed tasks.
In essence, high-definition ophthalmic lenses aim to provide a more refined and optimized visual experience, going beyond the capabilities of standard corrective lenses.
Regarding eye safety, especially for children or athletes, consider polycarbonate or Trivex lenses. They offer 100% UV protection and are significantly more impact-resistant than traditional plastic or glass lenses.
Polycarbonate lenses are highly impact-resistant and typically more affordable. Trivex lenses provide exceptional optical clarity and are lightweight. Both types benefit from scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coatings for optimal vision.
Schedule an appointment to discuss these options and find the best choice for your lifestyle and visual needs.
Trivex Advantages: While it states "weigh out the differences," it could briefly hint at Trivex's specific advantages, such as:
1. Slightly better optical clarity than polycarbonate.
2. Lighter weight than polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate Advantages: It could also briefly hint at polycarbonate advantages, such as:
1. Typically less expensive than Trivex.
2. The highest impact resistance.
Anti-Reflective Coatings: See More, See Better.
Anti-reflective (AR) coatings are designed to eliminate glare and reflections from your eyeglass lenses. By applying multiple layers of an incredibly thin, hard film to the lens surface, AR coatings minimize the amount of light that bounces off, allowing more light to pass through to your eyes. This results in:
Reduced glare: Minimizes distracting reflections from screens, headlights, and overhead lights.
Enhanced clarity: Improves visual acuity and contrast, making images appear sharper.
Improved aesthetics: Makes lenses appear nearly invisible, allowing others to see your eyes more clearly.
Reduced eye strain: By minimizing glare, AR coatings can reduce eye fatigue, especially during prolonged use of digital devices.
Similar to a scratch-resistant coating, AR coatings provide a durable layer of protection for your lenses.
High definition lenses are a great option for single vision prescriptions, but they do even more for progressive lens wearers by providing the benefits of HD lenses with a wider field of vision.
Bifocal and multifocal lenses are made to provide clear vision at all distances for people who have normal vision errors but are also experiencing an age-related decline in near vision called presbyopia.
If you think you may be a candidate for bifocal or multifocal lenses, schedule an appointment today. We will help assess what is best for you.
Photochromic lenses are eyeglass lenses that are clear (or nearly clear) indoors and darken automatically when exposed to sunlight. Transitional Lenses are the best-known brand of photochromic lenses.
Transitional lenses come in multiple colors that vary whether you’re looking for a bold fashion choice or need them for recreational activities such as hunting.
We feature a quality selection of fashionable eyeglasses and premium lenses. Our optical staff looks forward to helping you select the best eyewear for your vision prescription, lifestyle requirements, and unique fashion taste!
