At Paterson Burn we ensure your lenses are uniquely tuned to your individual prescription and lifestyle requirements.

New advances in lens technology have made it possible for spectacles to have better optics, be thinner, lighter, and more comfortable. Below are some of the types of spectacle lenses available.

Single Vision / Reading lenses

You may have already tried reading spectacles. Whilst these are great for improving your near vision, it becomes necessary to switch spectacles or peer over the top of your frames to see into the distance.

Bifocal lenses

Bifocals provide a partial remedy to this problem by combining reading and distance sections within the lenses. However, the area between remains blurred, and there is an unflattering line across your spectacles.

Progressive Lenses

The best solution for you. Multifocals or progressive lenses offer the best solution as they combine sections for near, intermediate and distance vision, which are smoothly graduated through the lens.
