Lenses

Here at Thomas Bond and Partners we pride ourselves on the quality and accuracy of the lenses we supply. Glazing these lenses in our own workshop ensures this high level of craftsmanship is maintained through to the finished pair of spectacles.

Over the past few years lens design and technology has advanced rapidly,  producing a large range of options available to you.

The most popular advances include: -

Higher density glass and plastic materials allowing higher prescriptions to be made thinner, flatter and lighter.

Coatings to increase clarity and reduce unwanted reflections and glare.

Photochromic, light sensitive coatings to plastic lenses, allowing a single pair of spectacles to be worn indoors and out regardless of lighting conditions.

New varifocal designs which soften inherent distortions, making focusing at all distances more natural, and the lenses easier to wear.
Photochromic Lenses

As an independent group we are not tied to any single lens manufacturer, and  have the freedom to choose from the world’s leading manufacturers, including Zeiss, Nikon, Kodak, Sola, Hoya, Essilor, Corning and Transitions.

Zeiss are well known for producing some of the best quality lenses in the world, and we use their Gradal Top Varifocal as a lens that gives good performance at all distances, and as a lens that is one of the easiest varifocals to adapt to. Their range of high index thin glass lenses is also one of the best available.

Nikon produce an excellent range of high index thin plastic lenses that are extremely light and easy to wear, with an excellent combined hard and anti-reflection coating.

Kodak - a world renowned brand name produce a good quality, extensive range of lenses as single vision, bifocal and varifocal.

Transitions and  Corning  are the brand names of the best known plastic photochromic lenses, and are used by various manufacturers so that almost all designs of lens are available. They have a very slight tint when un-reacted, and change rapidly to darken state in sunlight.

This choice of manufacturer enables us to help you decide on the very best lens design, material and coating combination to suit your individual needs and prescription.
