Spectacles, Frames & Lenses

Good vision plays a vital part in almost every aspect of life. Greys Opticians are able to offer you exciting ranges of quality eyewear so you can enjoy all the benefits of clear sight and at the same time enhance your appearance or make a fashion statement.

Spectacles are in vogue as a fashion accessory. Both men and women have realised that glasses can make all the difference to the way they want to look and the image they want to create. The fantastic choice of styles and colours now available means you can choose different frames to coordinate with clothes and other accessories.

We stock frames to suit every budget including a wide range of designer frames including Armani, Boss, Calvin Klein, Christian Dior, Dolce and Gabana, Elle, French Connection, Gucci and Valentino. We also stock rimless frames for the minimalist look, and Titanium frames, renowned for their strength and lightness. For the sportsman or woman we can offer prescription swimming goggles or diving masks as well as protective eyewear for skiing, cycling or mountaineering.

In addition to giving you clear vision, modern lens designs and materials make a big contribution to the smart appearance of todays spectacles. Highly advanced plastics have meant that lenses can be made thinner and lighter than ever before, even for higher prescriptions.

A popular option for all lenses is an anti-reflection coating which will virtually eliminate distracting reflections on both sides of the lens. If you drive at night or use a VDU you will welcome the suppression of reflections in your line of sight and, when people look at you, they will see your eyes and not a reflection of the window.

If you need glasses that will help you see clearly both close up and far away you no longer need a bifocal line across the lens. Progressive or varifocal lenses progress gradually from distance strength at the top to reading strength at the bottom, with an intermediate range in between.

Most lenses can be supplied to order in a wide range of tints and you may wish to consider photochromic lenses which darken automatically in bright light. These days, photochromics are available in lightweight plastic as well as glass.
