Lenses
Clearer vision, tailored precisely to you
At Prince & Bates Opticians, we believe great glasses need exceptional lenses. While frames define your style, it’s your lenses that determine how well you see, how comfortable your vision feels, and how your glasses perform in everyday life.
That’s why we work with two of the world’s leading lens manufacturers — Rodenstock and Seiko — allowing us to offer precision-engineered lenses tailored to your eyes, your prescription, and your lifestyle.
Lenses Designed Around Your Eyes
No two pairs of eyes are the same — and your lenses shouldn’t be either.
During your eye examination and dispensing consultation, we take time to understand:
-
Your prescription and visual demands
-
How you use your glasses day to day
-
Screen use, driving, work, and leisure activities
-
Your frame choice and how it sits on your face
This allows us to recommend lenses that deliver sharp, comfortable, natural vision — not just on paper, but in real life.
Rodenstock
Rodenstock lenses are designed using advanced biometric technology that measures how your eyes actually see, not just what’s written on your prescription. This allows for:
-
Sharper vision across the entire lens
-
Improved comfort, especially in progressive lenses
-
Reduced distortion and eye strain
-
Lenses optimised to your exact frame and wearing position
These lenses are ideal if you want the highest level of visual precision, detailed work, and all-day comfort.
Seiko
Seiko lenses are known for combining precision optics with exceptional visual comfort. Manufactured using advanced Japanese lens technology, they offer:
-
Excellent clarity and contrast
-
Smooth transitions in varifocal lenses
-
Lightweight, thin lens designs
-
Reliable performance for everyday wear
Seiko lenses are a superb choice for patients who value comfort, consistency, and optical quality, whether in single vision or multifocal lenses.
Choosing The Right Lens For You
Our role is to guide you through the options clearly and honestly. We’ll explain:
-
Single vision, bifocal, and varifocal lenses
-
Lens thinning for lighter, more aesthetic glasses
-
Anti-reflection, scratch-resistant, and blue-light coatings
-
Sunglass and photochromic (light-reactive) lenses
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution — just the right lens for you, chosen with care and expertise.
