Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between single-vision and progressive lenses?

A single-vision lens has one power across the whole lens. A progressive lens has more than one focal zone in one lens, with no visible line. Your doctor's prescription shows which you need.

Do you perform eye exams?

No. Please see a licensed doctor or optometrist first and bring or send us your prescription.

Can I add a blue-light filter to single-vision lenses?

Yes. Blue-light lenses can be ordered together with a single-vision prescription. Ask us when you send your prescription.

How much do single-vision lenses cost?

The price depends on your prescription and the frame. We confirm it in AED, including 5% VAT, after you send your prescription.
