Frame
Lens
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:
Direct Clip Adaptor - This prescription direct clip adaptor has been designed to match your selection. (Please note that the image above is only representative). The clip will directly fit into the front of the frame of your chosen glasses or sunglasses similar to direct fitting lenses exept they are removable. They are designed for complex lens shapes such as found in semi-rimmed frames where a direct fitting lens would other wise not be possible. They also offer the versatility of interchangeable clear or tinted prescription lenses with non-prescription lenses in the same frame, making them ideal for contact lens wearers.
Lifestyle Lenses – These lenses are made from high quality CR39 resin which is the most common optical material for prescription glasses today. They provide very little distortion and are lighter and thinner than glass making them comfortable to wear. They are not recommended for impact sports as they can break.
High Performance - Called ‘Free-form’ these prescription lenses are Aspheric just like our ‘performance’ lenses. However, using the latest free-form technology, they are cut using 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. 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 those with higher prescriptions and those that require highly curved lenses. It ensures they provide near perfect vision across the whole curvature of the lens avoiding optical distortions that can occur in the periphery area of vision. Recommended if your prescription is over 2 spheres.
Driver - Driver lens filters combine photochromic and polarizing lens filters just as the PhotoPolar lenses. However, the photochromic lens which gets darker or lighter in accordance with the intensity of visible light has been specially developed to work effectively behind car windshields. These driver lenses are capable of sensing and reacting to varying light conditions both outside and behind the windshield of the car or aeroplane canopy. The polarizing lens will eliminate glare from all reflective surfaces such as the road surface or other cars. Unlike other polarizing lenses they have been developed to work across the photochromic range of the lens.
Lens Category – Cat. 2 to 3. With a visible light transmission of 35% to 12%, they are ideal for wearing in bright cloudy to sunny days.
Clear - These lenses include our 'Clear' coatings. In addition to the hard coating that we include on all our lenses, it includes an additional anti-reflective coating which prevents those annoying reflections on the inside of the lens, eliminating interference glare and ghost images, reducing eye strain.

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.
