Opthalmic Lens Treatments

Selecting the right ophthalmic lens treatments for your lenses could be the most important decision you make regarding your eyewear.

Ultra Violet Protection
All lenses come with UV protection except for the lowest level of plastic lens, therefore Dr. Palm has already added that level of protection into the plastic lenses at our office. If you prefer to not have UV protection we can get the lenses without it, however, it is not recommended.

Scratch Protection
Scratch Protection is available with replacement warranties, ask our staff about these!

Anti-Reflective Treatments
Anti-Reflective (A/R) treatments are probably the most important treatment to have done to your lenses. A/R will give you your truest vision possible. During your exam the equipment used to find your prescription has A/R treatment on all of the lenses. A/R will also cut the glare you get while on the computer or in fluorescent lighting, which causes extreme eye strain and fatigue. As shown in the top photo, it is also cosmetically pleasing. We recommend Crizal Alize with Clearguard. This is a hydrophobic and oleophobic A/R treatment which means it resists water spotting and fingerprints. It also comes with the highest level of scratch protection available.

Transitions
Transition lenses are the lenses that transition from light to dark to offer your eyes the greatest sun protection. A newer, advanced level of Transitions has just been released. It will be faster to transition. If you have tried Transitions in the past and have not been satisfied, now may be the time.
