Contacts & Glasses

Contacts & Glasses services offered at Optic Gallery Fort Apache

During your eye exam, your optometrist will perform a process known as a refraction. This process will help the optometrist determine how your eyes focus and if you might need correction. Glasses and contacts are worn for the correction of blurry vision caused by a refractive error - which is treatable with a prescription from your optometrist.

What lenses do you carry?

Single Vision: Single vision lenses correct for one field of vision. This type of lens is designed for one vision correction throughout the entire lens and provides the largest viewing area in comparison to other types of lenses.

Multifocal Lenses: Unlike single vision lenses, multifocal lenses can have multiple powers of correction built into a single lens.

Bifocal lenses are divided into two zones that are separated with a visible line.

Trifocal lenses are divided into three zones that include distance, intermediate, and near. Like bifocal lenses, they are separated with a visible line.

Progressive lenses are designed to correct for multiple viewing distances that get progressively stronger towards the bottom of the lens. This multifocal design does not have any visible lines and is often referred to as "No-line bifocals."

​​​​​​​Anti-fatigue lenses: Anti-fatigue lenses include a single vision prescription with a small boost of magnification at the bottom of the lens. This magnification supports near and intermediate vision by relaxing the eye muscles and reducing eye strain.

Blue Light Filtering: Blue light-filtered lenses act as a digital shield, reducing eye strain and potential damage caused by prolonged screen exposure. By filtering out harmful blue light wavelengths, these lenses help promote better sleep and protect long-term eye health in our tech-driven world.
