What Prescription is right for me?
Finding the appropriate prescription type for you depends on your visual needs. In order to determine which prescription type you need, you can take a look at the prescription given to you by your eye doctor.
If you have values indicated in the SPH, CYL or AXIS fields, and no value indicated in the ADD field, then single vision lenses are recommended for you.
If you have values indicated in the SPH, CYL or AXIS fields, and a value indicated in the ADD fields, then progressive lenses are recommended for you.
If your optometrist has recommended reading eyeglasses, they may have given you a prescription or simply recommended a certain strength ranging from +0.75 to +3.50. If you have a prescription for simple reading glasses, then you will find identical positive (+) values indicated in the SPH fields only.
If you’re still unsure which lens type is best for you, please send us your prescription to hello@vizeyewear.com and we will promptly review and advise which prescription type is right for you.

Single Vision Lenses
Single Vision lenses have the same prescription throughout the entire surface of the lens. They correct one field of vision only – near, intermediate, or far distance.
One lens for one purpose: distance far or near, close-up, or mid-range.
Progressive Vision Lenses
Progressive lenses contain two or three vision zones in one lens, providing seamless transition between near, intermediate, and far distances.
Our digital free-form progressive lenses provide ultra-clear HD vision at all distances such as driving, computer screen viewing, and reading so you don't have to switch between multiple pairs of eyewear. If you have an "ADD" value on your prescription, then progressive lenses are for you.
Reading Lenses
Reading lenses provide simple magnification, providing near vision correction in strengths ranging from +0.75 to +3.50.
Single vision reading lenses offer one lens with magnification for close-up reading or viewing
Progressive vision reading lenses offer a transition between clear or no prescription on the upper part of the lens and magnification for close-up viewing on the lower part of the lens.
Photochromic Lenses (Light-Responsive)
This is a light-responsive lens that transitions from fully clear to a darker tint (choice of grey or brown) when exposed to UV rays, offering 100% protection against UVA and UVB rays, preventing eye strain and reducing glare in the sun. The lenses are tinted in the sunlight and transition to clear indoors and at night.
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses feature an anti-glare coating that reduces the glare from snow, water, etc. These lenses are perfect for outdoor activities such as skiing, fishing, and driving.
Treatments and Coatings Definitions
All VIZ lenses come equipped with blue light filter, scratch-resistance, anti-reflective coating, UV protection, anti-smudge coating, anti-static coating, and water repellency.
Blue Light Blocking
Blue light blocking lenses contain a blue light filter to block out the blue light emitted by the sun, artificial lights and digital screens such as smartphones, TVs, tablets and computers.
Our high-quality blue light blocking lenses offer protection against UVA and UVB rays and shield the eyes from harmful blue light emitted by sunlight, artificial lights and digital devices to enhance the vision, reduce glare and eye fatigue.
Scratch-Resistant Treatment
The scratch-resistant treatment improves scratch-resistance, protecting your lenses from minor (micro) scratches caused by normal wear and tear which extends the life of your lenses and helps ensure clearer vision.
Anti-Reflective Treatment
The anti-reflective treatment is a thin multilayer coating that eliminates reflections from the front and back of the lens for superior lens transparency which helps eliminate glare, reduce eye strain and enhance vision.
UV Protection
The UV protection treatment is an invisible coating that blocks 100% of the UVA and UVB rays to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.
Anti-smudge, Anti-static, and Water repellency coatings are added to all lenses to provide the wearer with comfortable features for everyday wear.
Measure your PD
PD, or pupillary distance is the distance between your pupils. This measurement is important for centering your lenses in the frame and providing you with the clearest vizion.
