Q: What types of lenses can you fit into my glasses?

A: We can supply single-vision lenses, bifocals, varifocals, and in some cases trifocals. We can also advise on extras such as anti-glare coatings, transition lenses, blue light filters, and thinner lens options depending on your prescription and daily needs.

Q: Can you put new lenses into my existing frames?

A: Yes, we can offer a reglaze service if your current frames are suitable. This is done at your own risk, and there may be a short period without your glasses if the frames need to go to the laboratory.

Q: Do you have glasses for children and teenagers?

A: Yes, we stock great-value frames for young children as well as modern styles for teenagers and young adults. Many children can choose frames and spectacle lenses free of charge with their NHS voucher, and we also offer a second pair for children for £30.

Lens choices explained in plain English

Clear explanations help you choose lenses suited to everyday vision needs.

Frames that feel right and lenses that work hard

Choosing glasses should feel exciting, not confusing, and we take the time to guide you through styles that suit your face, your personality, and the way you live. We keep more than 500 frames in practice at Advanced Vision, which gives you real choice instead of a glance at a small display. We can talk you through single vision lenses, bifocals, varifocals, and even trifocals when they're the right answer for your sight. An eye examination also helps us understand your prescription and recommend lenses that support clear, comfortable vision.

The little details matter too, especially when glare from screens, bright sunlight, or night driving starts to make everyday life feel harder than it should. Our advice helps you avoid frames that never quite sit right or lenses that don't match how you use your glasses day to day. We make the whole process at Advanced Vision feel clearer, calmer, and far more personal.

As it was my first visit to Advanced Vision, I didn't really know what to expect. I can honestly say that after all the tests I've had, through the years, I have never had such a thorough examination. With the colleagues being so pleasant and attentive, I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Lens options with everyday comfort in mind

Your lenses can be tailored far beyond a basic prescription, and that can make a real difference once you start wearing them every day. We can add transition lenses that darken in the sun, anti-glare coatings that soften harsh reflections, and scratch-resistant coatings that help your glasses cope better with daily wear. If you have a stronger prescription, digital lenses or thin and ultra-thin options can improve appearance and reduce peripheral blur.

Blue light filter lenses can be a useful choice if long hours at a computer leave your eyes feeling tired by the end of the day. We can also reglaze your current frames if you still love them and they're suitable for new lenses. Contact us for more information.
