Find Your Perfect Lenses

Answer two quick questions and we'll recommend the ideal lens for your prescription.

Step 1 — Lens type

What type of lenses are you looking for?

Not sure? Single vision corrects one distance. Varifocals give you distance and reading in one lens — no swapping glasses needed.

Single Vision

One prescription throughout — for distance, intermediate, or reading.

A seamless progression from distance to reading — all in one pair.

Step 2 of 2 — Astigmatism

Do you have astigmatism?

Check the CYL value on your prescription. Blank or not listed? You have little or no astigmatism. Not sure — we're always happy to help.

Little or none
Less than 1.00D — or no astigmatism

Your CYL value is below 1.00, or there's no CYL value on your prescription.

›
Moderate
Between 1.00D and 2.00D

Your CYL value will be between 1.00 and 2.00.

›
High
Greater than 2.00D

Your CYL value will be above 2.00.

Step 3 of 3 — Reading addition

What is your reading addition?

This is the ADD value on your prescription — the extra power needed for reading. Not sure? Your optician can tell you at your next appointment.

Low Addition
+1.50D or below

You're in the earlier stages of needing reading support.

›
Moderate Addition
+1.75D to +2.00D

A moderate reading addition — your ADD value sits between +1.75 and +2.00.

›
Higher Addition
+2.25D or above

A stronger reading addition — your ADD value will be +2.25 or higher.

Your options

We have two great options for you

Your astigmatism is straightforward, but your reading addition is on the stronger side. Both of the following lenses will work well — the difference is in how much personalisation and coating quality you'd like.

Why two options? With a higher reading addition, both our Advanced and Bespoke ranges perform well for your prescription. The Advanced lens is a great choice for most — but if you'd like the very finest coatings and a fully individualised design, Bespoke takes things a step further.

Thinner & Lighter Lenses
Upgrade to a higher-index material
+£100
A noticeably slimmer, lighter lens. By upgrading to a higher-index material, your lenses will be thinner at the edges, lighter to wear, and sit more flatteringly in your chosen frame — particularly beneficial for stronger prescriptions. The optical quality remains identical; it's purely a material upgrade.
