Carytown Optical: Essilor Eyeglass Lenses Dealer in Richmond Virginia

Carytown Optical Eyecare Boutique is an authorized dealer of Essilor Eyeglass Lenses in Richmond, Virginia. To experience natural vision for yourself, see our Carytown Optometry eye care professionals in RVA and ask which Essilor eyeglass lens option is perfect for you.

Since the creation of the first Varilux lens in 1959, Essilor’s unmatched dedication to research and development has been focused on a single goal – helping eye care professionals to provide patients with the most natural vision possible. The eye in its full youth and health can see the world in all its beauty. Varilux research into the human visual system allows patients to continue to enjoy this visual experience all their lives – whatever the distance, whatever their age.

Gone are the days of multiple eyeglasses, thick lenses, and bifocals, which splits the lens in two to correct distance vision and near vision. Fifty years later, Varilux lenses have changed the lives of hundreds of millions of presbyopes and revolutionized the world of ophthalmic optics! Every Varilux lens design undergoes a rigorous series of wearer trials and clinical testing to ensure optimal performance. The goal of this process is to create progressive lens designs that can integrate seamlessly into the visual system-lens, eye, brain, and body.

The Varilux X Series eyeglass lenses are the most advanced progressive lenses on the market today. Varilux X Series lenses provide all the benefits of other Varilux lens designs, while eliminating the “off-balance” feeling sometimes experienced when wearing other progressive lenses. Designed based on observed eye movements and visual needs, Varilux progressive lenses guarantee optimal vision at any distance. The eye transits smoothly, effortlessly, and naturally from the near-vision zone to the intermediate-vision zone through to far vision.

Whatever the distance, whatever the situation, Varilux X Series gives you clear vision throughout the lens. You will see the difference immediately.

ESSILOR VARILUX PROGRESSIVE LENSES

Essilor Varilux® progressive lenses provide sharp vision and smooth transitions at any distance, even in dimly lit conditions. These lenses eliminate blurriness, off-balance feeling, and low-light issues of simple progressive lenses. This has made Varilux® progressive lenses the #1 lens recommended by optometrists and opticians.

Starting around age 40, your eyes gradually lose the ability to focus on nearby objects or you might have trouble reading in dim light. This common eye condition is presbyopia and is a natural part of aging that will someday affect you no matter how good your vision was when you were younger.

ESSILOR CRIZAL NO-GLARE LENSES

Essilor Crizal offers a full range of no-glare eyeglass lenses for the clearest vision possible and the most comprehensive daily UV protection. These eyeglass lenses also protect against glare, scratches, and smudges.

Crizal Eyeglass lenses are built to last and their rigorous design and manufacturing processes, consisting of industry-leading and patented technologies, provide superb clarity, superior protection, and durability. Crizal No-Glare lenses have earned The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Support for their safe and effective protection against UV light.

Crizal No-Glare lenses provide complete UV protection, blocking UV light transmission through the front of the lens and UV light reflection from the back side of the lens. Regular sunglasses do not offer total UV protection since they don’t protect your eyes from UV light reflecting off the backside of the lens. Harmful Blue Light is the blue-violet wavelengths found between 415-455nm on the light spectrum believed most toxic to retinal cells. Harmful Blue Light protection is only available with Crizal Prevencia. Crizal Prevencia no-glare lenses block up to 20% of Harmful Blue Light.

There is a Crizal lens for everyone. From the playground to the classroom and everywhere in between, Crizal for Kids lenses help correct and protect your child’s vision. Ask our eye care professionals at Carytown Optical in Richmond, which Crizal lens is right for you

ESSILOR XPERIO POLARIZED PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES

These aren’t just ordinary sun lenses and help you to see more no matter what you’re doing outside. Essilor Transitions light intelligent lenses provide excellent clarity of vision while protecting your eyes with a superior quality lens.

Essilor’s Xperio UV™ polarized prescription sun lenses virtually eliminate glare so you can see the world more clearly. Light reflected on a smooth, flat surface, like a road, water, snow, or sand, can create a blinding glare. This glare can seriously impair your vision and cause potential hazards. Xperio UV™ polarized lenses are engineered to conquer blinding glare.

Did you know that Xperio UV™ polarized prescription sunglasses provide the ultimate protection from UV rays on both sides of the lens? With an Eye-Sun Protective Factor (E-SPF®) of 50+, you get the highest level of UV protection offered within the E-SPF index.
