Spectacle Lens Selection

A simple guide to help you with the specific ranges of lenses that we offer, and what would be recommended.

Please note, this is a basic prescription analysis tool. Our highly trained Opticians will guide you based on multiple factors that a simple calculator cannot adjust for.

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.
