Lens Guide
Lens Guide
At PennySpecs, we believe lenses shouldn’t be confusing.
We explain your options clearly, in plain English, so you can choose what’s right for you.
All lenses are made to order and fitted to your chosen frame.
Single Vision Lenses
For everyday distance or reading
Single vision lenses correct one field of vision — either distance (for everyday use) or near vision (for reading).
Suitable for:
- General everyday wear
- Reading glasses
- First-time prescription wearers
Varifocal Lenses
Clear vision at all distances
Varifocals combine distance, intermediate, and reading correction in one lens — with no visible line.
Suitable for:
- Reading and distance in one pair
- Computer use and everyday wear
- Anyone who wants one pair for everything
We’ll guide you through the options to make sure the lenses match how you actually use them.
Lens Thickness
Comfort and appearance
Lens thickness depends on your prescription.
Stronger prescriptions may benefit from thinner, lighter lenses for improved comfort and appearance.
We’ll automatically recommend the most suitable option when needed.
Lens Coatings
Small upgrades, big difference
Most people choose at least one coating for everyday use, such as:
- Anti-reflective coating for clearer vision
- Scratch resistance for durability
- Easy-clean coatings to reduce smudges
We’ll explain what each option does before you choose.
