Lenses and Frames
A brief description of the types of lenses and variety of frames available at Hertneky Vision Source in Brush.
Selecting your lenses and frames is a very personal choice. A wide variety of options are available that can be tailored to suit not only your medical needs but also your fashion preferences.
Highlight your features, play with color, and augment vision for different functions such as reading, driving and playing sports. With all the choices available, the experience can be daunting without the right guidance. Hertneky Vision Source in Brush makes the choice easy.
Eyeglass Lenses
Selecting the right eyeglass lens depends largely on its function. We partner with Essilor Luxottica and Summit Optical to provide the right lens for you, including Eye Zen for those not ready for a digital progressive lens, Computer lenses for those that do a lot on computers utilizing arms reach and near areas the most, as well as the new Stellest lens for young people with progressive (getting worse each year) Myopia (near sightedness). Regardless of your situation, George Hertneky, O.D., P.C. can help determine what types of lenses will work best for you in terms of comfort, function and design.
Frame Styles
When choosing a frame, the shape and size of the frame should enhance the color of your eyes, complement your skin tone and play up the best features of your face shape.
Most people need more than one pair of glasses, such as one for everyday wear and another for outdoor activities. Having different style frames for different activities and moods makes wearing glasses more fun. We carry a variety of frames from Gucci, Gwen Stefani, Yves Saint Laurent, Vera Wang, Tura, Lulu Guinness, Oakley, Ray-Ban, Danny Gokey, Ted Baker and more!
Sunglasses
With the wide variety of lens options available, you can customize your “sunnies” (sunglasses) to meet your visual, protection, performance and comfort needs. Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is present even on cloudy days. Quality sun wear provides 100 percent UV protection and can significantly reduce the risk of vision problems caused by sunlight such as cataracts and retinal damage.
Glare, an issue that makes it difficult to see objects clearly by washing out colors and details, can be combated by polarized lenses. Looking at a scene with polarized lenses, you’ll notice the colors are deeper, richer and bolder, and details are clearer and more distinct. Polarized lenses also help reduce squinting, which, in turn, reduces eye fatigue, tension and eyestrain. We carry Maui Jim, Oakley, RayBan, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Wiley X and MORE!!
Anti-Reflective Treatment
All lens surfaces naturally reflect light and this reflection can prevent between seven to 14 percent of the light needed for optimal vision. Wearing non-AR lenses is like trying to read a book in a dimly lit room. Since AR lenses allow more light to reach your eyes by reducing reflections, it’s like turning up the lights in a room, making it easier to see.
Special Anti-reflective treatments can also have the ability to deflect damaging blue light from computers, hand held devices and over head lighting!
Transitions Brand Light Changing Lenses
Blue light and sun exposure increases the likelihood of cataracts & pterygiums. Transitions Brand lenses filter between 85-95% of damaging UV rays when activated. They also protect the retina, rods and cones in your eyes, making going from low light indoors to bright outdoors more comfortable. Now available in fun fashion colors that include the same great protective qualities as original brown and grey.
