Eyeglass Lenses

We recommend advanced lens options based on the latest technologies, because an important part of eyecare is selecting the right lenses for you and your lifestyle.  Some of the available lenses are:

• High Index Lenses that are thinner and lighter than ordinary lenses
   
• Crizal Alize ® Anti-Reflective Lenses that reduce the glare that causes eye fatigue, sharpens visual performance, and makes your lenses look invisible
   
• Varilux ® Progressive Addition Lenses that are the most advanced lens design for people with presbyopia (the gradual loss in your focusing ability at near).  They allow you to see near, far, and everywhere in between-without annoying, distracting lines
   
• Transitions ® Lenses that are clear indoors, but darken automatically when you go outdoors
   
• Polycarbonate Lenses that are recommended for all of our patients and are the essential for children and active lifestyles because of its impact resistance and lightweight material
   
• Polarized Lenses that reduce glare and provide 100% protection from harmful UV rays
  
  
• TD-2 Scratch Coat this is the industries toughest scratch coat and is on both sides of the lenses.

Sunglasses with UV Protection

Sunglasses aren’t just about style – they’re essential in protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays and are an important part of preventative eyecare. 

Sunglasses aren’t just for adults; at any age, prolonged exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun increases your risk of sunburn to the eye, skin cancer, cataracts, and macular degeneration.  Studies have shown that 85% of the UV damage done to a person’s eyes occurs before they are 18 years old. 

Sunglasses block the harmful effects of UV light and prevent these sight threatening diseases.  At Boise Mountain Eyecare, you can rest assured that the sunglasses in our optical provide the best UV protection and visual clarity available.
