At Blue Star Eyecare we understand that vision is important.

Although most labs use lenses with the newest technology, someone around the corner will have a better lens. As lenses continually change we follow who offers the best lenses at the most competitive price.

Our labs include Hoya, Carl Zeiss, Shamir and Essilor.

These are lenses that correct your vision at different working distances from reading distance to far distance. The spectacle lenses do not have visible lines that separate the segments, so cosmetically they appear just the same as single vision lenses.

Some people take a little time to adjust to the different viewing experience this presents, particularly if having been wearing single vision lenses before where the whole lens is assigned to the distance vision only. They do however provide the great benefit of no longer having to ‘switch glasses’ for distance and near.

Computer progressive lenses, also known as "office lenses" or "near variable focus lenses", are designed for computer users in mind for the office environment.

With a larger intermediate vision zone, this lens is best suited to those people needing an extended intermediate lens to use on digital devices up to 2m and has a small distance area to see projector screens or use their glasses walking around the office. This lens is not suitable for driving.

These single-vision lenses that can help relieve visual fatigue symptoms such as eyes that sting and feel tight, headaches, eyestrain and blurred vision while engaging in near range tasks.

Myopia is becoming a problem worldwide and in Australia, there is a steady rise in our children being short-sighted where progression can be significant. Working alongside our lab partners we are giving access to our patients' choices between two options in terms of glasses using either the MiyoSmart or Stellest lens or even the MiSight contact lenses.
