Single‑vision lenses

This lens type has one prescription that covers the whole lens. They’re typically for people with near or far sight that only need glasses for things like driving or reading – so they have clear vision for seeing up‑close or far away. Ask your optometrist if single‑vision lenses are right for you.

Are single‑lenses right for me?

If you only need glasses for one type of vision, your optometrist may prescribe single‑vision glasses to you. People under 40 usually have this type of lens as they’re more likely to have just one type of visual requirement.

If you’re over 40, you may need to have separate glasses for separate things, such as one pair for seeing far away, like when you’re driving, and one pair for close‑up tasks, like reading.

Your optometrist will be able to recommend the best lens option to suit your needs.

Cost of single‑vision lenses

All of our glasses come with single‑vision lenses including a scratch‑resistant treatment and UV protection as standard, so there’s no extra charge for these lenses. You can also choose from a range of lens extras and treatments that can protect or enhance your glasses.
