Description
This prescription lens package will be fitted into your chosen eyewear and quality control checked by Eyekit prior to dispatch to ensure the quality and accuracy of your prescription. It comprises the following as summarised in the title:
Driving Varifocals - These personalised progressive lenses incorporate a power distribution across the lens specifically adapted for driving. Most driving time is spent looking ahead, which requires wide, clear visual fields. However, the eyes also have to shift quickly between different viewing distances with minimal head movements: from the road to the navigation device, from the mirrors to the dashboard. Focusing and refocusing can be especially challenging for mature drivers. Driving varifocal lenses provides maximised distance and intermediate zones and a smaller near zone. They also incorporate a night vision zone for greater visual quality and less fatigue when driving at night. Many general varifocal lenses by contrast can make it uncomfortable to drive having an inadequate distance visual field or limited peripheral vision.
Thin & Lite Lenses - These 'Thin & Lite' lenses are thinner and lighter than our standard 'Lifestyle' prescription lenses. They reduce the edge thickness in minus prescriptions and the centre thickness in plus prescriptions. This makes the lenses thinner and lighter to wear for both types of prescriptions while maintaining their optical performance. Recommended for prescriptions where your prescription is between 2 and 4 spheres.
Performance - These are high definition (HD) varifocal lenses use the latest free-form technology. They use a digital design process that gives lens designers the ability to reduce lens aberrations even more than they can using conventional lens design and processing techniques with the Premium option. Lighter and thinner than standard lenses they provide exceptional night/low light vision reducing glare and halo effects from car headlights. They also offer exceptional contrast perception sharpening vision and improved colour rendition providing brighter and more intense colours. This is particularly important for varifocals and highly curved lenses as it ensures they provide the best vision across the whole curvature of the lens avoiding optical distortions that can occur in the periphery area of vision.
Photochromic - Also known as 'Transition' or 'Reaction' lens filters, photochromic lenses are a state-of-the-art, high contrast, light reactive lens that changes lens tint density with the changing light conditions providing comfortable vision whatever the light intensity.
Lens Category - Choose from 2 options:
- Cat. 0 to 3. NEW: Transitions GEN 8. As indicted in the title this is the next generation lens after Transitions VII. It has been developed to be a light intelligent photochromic lens that is darker outdoors, clear indoors, with improved reaction and fade back speeds (Darkens up to 30% faster and fades back up to 3 minutes faster compared to transitions VII), all without compromising on protection and quality. The result of years of research and in-depth scientific studies, Transitions Signature GEN 8 is the first light intelligent photochromic lens with a revolutionary nano-composite technology that pushes photochromic performance and offers optimum vision, comfort and protection all day long. With a visible light transmission of 92% to 15%, they are ideal for wearing in very low light conditions such as experienced in rain and fog to sunny days. Ideal for wearers who require clear lenses indoors and at night that provide comfort and convenience by darkening outdoors dependent on the light conditions.
- Cat. 1 to 3. Transitions XTRActive react to both UV light and ambient light. With a visible light transmission of 83% to 10%, they are ideal if you are moving from bright sunlight to a darker forest or into snowing/foggy conditions and don t want to change your lens. The slight tint indoors can also enhance your comfort all day long. Ideal for outdoor activities and driving.
Crystal Drive - Specifically designed for those who drive, offering improved comfort in all driving conditions with improved comfort during the day and night. The lens coating offers the highest transmission across the visible spectrum but does reduce the overall amount of blue light entering the eye.There is a slight filter to achieve this but the lens still remains almost clear. Key benefits:
- Scratch Resistant Coating - Reduces scratching and abrasions over time, keeping the lens clearer for longer and maximising vision quality and useful life of the lens over non coated lenses.
- Anti-reflective Coating - Prevents those annoying reflections, eliminating interference glare and ghost images, reducing eye strain and improves vision.
- Hydrophobic Coating - This water repellent coating is similar to a wax coating on a car, it helps to shed water droplets and avoids smudging. Also, water is not attracted to the lens surface in humid conditions (steam, condensation etc). Ideal for outdoor use such as playing football on rainy days or for spray when sailing.
- Blue Light Filter - Reduces eye fatigue and eye strain from light reflections during the day and car headlights at night. It keeps the eyes in better condition, offering more comfortable and relaxed vision and a better contrast perception while driving.
Specification:
- Lens Make - Transitions, Exceed Drive. This is a personalised varifocal lens that incorporates a power distribution specifically adapted for driving. It includes a night vision zone for greater visual quality and less fatigue when driving at night. Ex-Drive benefits from enlarged distance and intermediate zones with only a minimal reduction in near reading area.
- Index - 1.60. (The higher the index, the thinner and lighter the lenses).
- Abbe - 41. (The higher the abbe value, the better the optical clarity of the lens).
- Density - 1.23g/cm cubed.
- UV Protection - 395nm.
- Prescription Range: (Max. Power +8.00 to -8.00).+8.00 to - 8.00 Spheres with opposite Cyls to 6.00.
Prescription strength of up to a combined maximum power of +8.00 to -8.00. That is the combined power of your sphere and cylinders together must not be more that +8.00 to -8.00 for this frame.
Options available:
- Tint options - Grey, Brown, Green.
Please Note: After you have placed your order we will send the frame out to you for you to make sure they fit correctly and also for you to take a picture wearing them. We need a picture so that we can accurately measure your pupil from the base of the lens when you are comfortably wearing them. We will provide instructions on how to do this.

Prescription Orders
Over 95% of orders dispatched are delivered within the timeframes stated above, however, due to the nature of the glazing process, we can not guarantee specific delivery dates on prescription orders. Prescription lenses are made to very high standards with low tolerance for errors and are rigorously checked at all stages of production. Any error in the prescription across the lens, deficiencies in the coating or blemishes that cannot be removed means the lens would need to go back in production and re-made. All prescription lenses are also rigorously checked at Eyekit before dispatch and any errors will mean that the lenses as sent back to the glazer for replacing. We have a zero tolerance for errors to ensure our customers receive prescription eyewear to the highest standards and we will not compromise on these standards even if it means delivering eyewear later than expected. Your eyesight is perhaps your most important sense and you deserve the best sight possible.
