When it comes to getting new glasses, choosing the right frames is only half the story. The lenses you pick can make just as much of a difference in how clearly and comfortably you see. At Medina Eye Care with locations in Castroville and San Antonio, TX, we help patients find the best lens options for their unique vision needs and lifestyle.

Single Vision Lenses

Single vision lenses are the most common type, designed to correct one field of vision, either distance, intermediate, or near. If you only need glasses for reading or for driving, these lenses might be all you need.

Bifocal and Trifocal Lenses

If you need help seeing both near and far, bifocal lenses provide two prescription areas separated by a visible line, one for distance and one for close-up work. Trifocals add a third section for intermediate vision, perfect for tasks like computer work. While effective, these lenses can take a little time to adjust to because of the visible lines between each section.

Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses offer the same benefits as bifocals and trifocals but without the dividing lines. The prescription gradually changes from top to bottom, allowing you to see clearly at any distance with a more natural transition. They’re a popular choice for patients who want clear vision and a seamless look.

Specialty Lenses and Coatings

Today’s lenses can do more than just correct vision. Blue light filters help reduce digital eye strain from screens, photochromic lenses darken in sunlight for outdoor comfort, and anti-reflective coatings cut down on glare for sharper, clearer vision. Our team can walk you through these options to make sure your lenses match your day-to-day life.
