Spectacle News
The latest development to excite the dispensing team is a brand called MARMA. Marma was born from the desire to offer the ophthalmic lens wearer something different and new; coloured high tech lenses which offer a personal, unique style as well as comfortable vision.
The Marma collection
Would you like a Photochromatic lens? Are you a fan of Polarised lenses? With this new brand you are able to have each separately or even together! Polarised Photochromatic lenses provide a lovely sun lens with the ability to darken but also cut out the maximum amount of glare.

The above picture shows how much clearer the right hand picture (polarized view) would be. The picture appears enhanced and more "real".
The limiting factor with sunglasses is that most wearers are unable to use them indoors or in poor light conditions. This is where photochromatic lenses are sometimes favoured but photochromatic lenses do not always react to a dark enough tint, which is where the photopolarised lenses in the Marma family can be the ideal solution.
Varifocal Designs
Recently there have been some major breakthroughs in the world of Varifocal designs - the most noticeable being the tailor made varifocal. These designs, produced by a few of the main manufacturers such as Zeiss and Hoya are completely computer generated to both suit your eye sight requirements and to fit your frame. They provide the most natural, distortion free vision of any varifocal design and are very popular with patients who have tried them.
