This design is not a fully personalized design and as such can be offered at a great price. Expect to pay very high prices for these same type lenses in any shop.
These lenses are produced using expensive software and sophisticated machines. Considering what all is involved and the high quality of these lenses, the price is truly amazing.
Adnuo® SV anti-fatigue DRP 050 lenses are single vision lenses meant for users in the 20 - 35 age range with a busy and intensive life. DRP stands for "Digital Ray Path", which means that each pixel on the lens surface has been machined uniquely for your prescription, frame shape and distance between the eye and the lens.
Many task are performed which call for a mix of far, intermediate and near vision. As the eye needs to continuously focus and re-focus, too much can be demanded from the eye, resulting in irritated eyes, headaches and muscle aches.
Adnuo® SV anti-fatigue DRP lenses are single vision lenses, which have a very low +0.5 diopter addition in the bottom of the lenses. These lenses can be ordered using your single vision prescription (no separate visit to have your eyes re-checked is required).

Visiero® Office is a progressive Office/Computer/Occupational/Hobby lens with optimal viewing in a circle of maximum 4 meters/13 feet around you.
This is the ideal lens for people who do a lot of work in their office, or for work at close range. Intermediate (up to 4 meters/13 feet) and near vision are unsurpassed.
The Visiero® OFFICE does not have a far vision zone, so cannot not be used for any activities that require distance vision (such as driving, playing tennis, etc.).
Visiero® Business-DRP is a progressive lens for activities that mainly require near/intermediate viewing, but also occasional use of the distance vision zone.
DRP stands for "Digital Ray Path", which means that each pixel on the lens surface has been machined uniquely for your prescription, frame shape and distance between the eye and the lens. This is called "fully personalized".
This lens design is different from the Visiero® Office in that the Business-DRP does have a small zone for distance viewing. Since a progressive lens is a compromise between viewing zones on a small piece of plastic, the Business-DRP has less viewing area for intermediate and near than the Visiero® Office.
The distance zone can be used to see people on the other end of the isle, or for seeing the screen and the speaker in a large meeting room.
This lens is also recommended for activities with frequent changes between near/intermediate and distance viewing, as long as the glasses are mainly used for near and intermediate work,and distance vision is being used less.
This lens should not be used for activities that require permanent use of the far viewing zone, such as driving.

Since you need a frame to fit a progressive lens which requires a minimum height of __ mm, we offer the following suggestions:
If you do not want to change the shape and/or size of the lens as shown in the frame picture: search for a frame with a lens height of at least __ mm.
In case a slight change to the lens height or shape is acceptable, then it is ideal to search for rimless or semi-rimless frames. Our lab technicians will be able to slightly modify the lens dimensions, so your preferred progressive lens will fit perfectly. In that case, search for:

20 Reasons: pop-ups on home page
The 1.74 index is a premium high index lens. Unfortunately, the material of the 1.74 index lens is somewhat brittle. It is a great lens in a full rim frame where the lens is supported on all sides. But in a rimless frame, the 1.74 material is prone to cracking. You will find that most optical stores (and optical websites which truly understand lenses) do not recommend the 1.74 index lenses for rimless frames.
If you want to select a rimless frame, then we recommend you select an appropriate lens material for this frame style. We recommend any of our lens materials, except 1.50, 1.57 or 1.74 index lenses for rimless frames.
Polycarbonate is a material with a closed structure. This makes it difficult to absorb any tint dyes. This is why most websites do not offer tinted polycarbonate lenses.
Since Visio-Rx has very modern lens coating equipment at its lab, we are able to apply a special coating, which will absorb the tint. That makes it possible to supply tinted polycarbonate lenses.
A better choice would be to order our Xirm or Trivex lenses. These have the same shatter resistance as polycarbonate, have much better optical qualities and offer a deeper tint absorbtion (into the material itself, as opposed to just a thin coating layer).
The choice is yours, however.
Tint can be solid (same color intensity on entire lens) or gradient (darker at the top, lighter towards the bottom).
Upon selecting this lens, you will be prompted to choose color, color intensity and solid or gradient tinting.

1.61 index lenses comply with the FDA regulations regarding impact resistance (i.e. a 5/8" steel ball dropped from 50 inches).
However, for certain sports activities or for use by youth/children, it is best practice to recommend lens materials which have enhanced shatter resistance.
The available lens materials are polycarbonate, Trivex and Xirm.
Unfortunately, for bifocals we do not carry materials with enhanced shatter resistance. You could try switching to a progressive lens as these are available in all materials.
The Reflect Control technology behind NightDrive is a trend-setting breakthrough which provides a unique combination of lens coating and design. It minimizes intrusive effects of different light sources in the dark (e.g. oncoming traffic; street lighting) and provides an image with much better and more dynamic contrast. „NightDrive“ reduces undesirable reflection by 57% compared to standard anti-reflection lenses. During the day NightDrive lenses perform as well as any multi-layer anti-reflection lens and during the night it performs twice as well. Thanks to the wide viewing zones, the new technology helps ensure that drivers have good all round visibility.

Want more comfort for your new frame? Order 10 nose pads (If you select quantity 1, we will send you 5 pairs). Standard nose pads on frames are almost always hard plastic. This is the same for both expensive designer frames you buy in a shop, and for less expensive frames on the web. Silicone nose pads are much softer and make your frame more comfortable to wear, but it's rather expensive to order these in a shop. Nose pads usually last anywhere from 3 - 6 months before they discolor and need to be changed. They cost almost nothing at Visio-Rx and will allow you the freedom to change your nose pads yourself (see here for a tutorial). When ordering spares, we will change the plastic pads on your new frame to silicone as well. |

Since you ordered a rimless frame, our lab technicians can handcraft an incredible finish on the rim of your lenses. We call this our Diamond Fantasy Cut. This is a very rare finish, and unlike anything you will see coming from brick and mortar shops. We would not recommend this special diamond cut on glasses for daily use. The large "cut" sides of the lenses are not coated and therefore more prone to scratches. And the special cut can in some conditions produce more reflections. Yet, as a glamorous pair of glasses for special occasions, this lens cut is spectacular. |

Almost everybody can use some extra key rings. Why not stock up on a few nice ones at a very advantageous price?

Why not add a few spare threads, whether clear or colored? The lenses in your semi-rimless frame are supported by a thin thread, which sits in a groove in the bottom part of your lens. The wire is quite sturdy, but can on occasion break. Would you like to order some spare threads? Or order a few additional ones in different colors, so you make subtle changes to the way your glasses look. These are sure to make your glasses 100% unique. Yet another upgrade rarely found in shops. |

Our lenses come standard with anti-scratch and anti-reflection coatings. We offer these options to further upgrade your lens coatings: 1. Cristiline Armorcoat Premium, which adds a high quality super-hydrophobic and anti-smudge layer to your lenses. This is a great way to add more protection and ease of cleaning to your glasses. 2. Blue-X: a clear lens which reduces harmful blue light by 20 - 25% 3. Blue-R: a 20% yellow tinted lens which reduces 100% of harmful blue light during computer work. 4. NightDrive Gold for use in traffic at night. This coating reduces annoying halo's and reflections from car head and tail lights, traffic lights and street lights. Here at Visio-Rx you can have a top of the line coating added to your lenses for a fraction of what shops would charge for this. |

Want to make a colorful impression? Change the color of your thread. The lenses in your semi-rimless frame are supported by a thin thread, which sits in a groove in the bottom part of your lens.

For a small amount you can really make your new frame stand out. This is an upgrade rarely offered in shops. |
