Types of lenses at Bassol Optic

Before configuring your prescription glasses you should know what types of lenses you can choose and the differences between them. These are the lenses that we can prescribe at Bassol Optic:

• Monofocal lenses: these are the most common. They have the same prescription throughout the lens, so they are only useful for solving problems with a specific field of vision, near or far.
• Progressive lenses: also known as bifocals, the prescription of the lens varies in the different areas of the lens, allowing problems with distance, near and middle distance vision to be solved.

In addition, both types can include one or more treatments to make the glasses more comfortable:

• Blue light filter: specially designed for people who work with computers or spend long periods of time in front of screens, this treatment helps to reduce visual fatigue.
• Photochromic treatment: the lens darkens progressively in bright light and becomes transparent again when the brightness drops, so you don't have to wear sunglasses or glasses to see.
• Polarised treatment: facilitates driving and sports activities by reducing possible reflections and glare, especially in snowy, rainy, wet roads or with the car windscreen.

At Bassol Optic we only work with the best manufacturers of lenses for prescription glasses: Indo and Zeiss.

Which frames to choose for your prescription glasses

Unlike sunglasses, prescription glasses are more than an accessory, because we spend a lot of time wearing them, so it is important that you like them very much and that you fully identify with their style. At our optician's you can choose from the following frame styles for your prescription glasses:

• Round: perfect for square and angular faces, round prescription glasses are perfect for you if you cultivate a hipster and modern style.
• Pilot: traditionally more popular as sunglasses, they have been on the rise for several seasons and they give a great personality to the wearer.
• Square: the classic among classics, they always look good. Just be careful to choose the right size and the colour that suits you best.
• Wayfarer: Get a little extra style with a pair of black plastic Wayfarers or cultivate a more intellectual look by choosing a metal frame in blue or grey.
• Butterfly: elegance and glamour for your face, whether you choose a plastic or metal frame.
• Panoramic: heirs to the sporty style and technical glasses for sports, panoramic glasses are not for everyone, but if they look good on you, you won't want to wear anything else.

In addition to the style, you must decide whether you prefer full frame (the frame completely surrounds the lenses), open frame (the lenses seem to float in front of your eyes, held in place only by the temples and bridge) or half frame (the frame holds the lenses at the top, while they are open at the bottom).

When it comes to materials, you have to choose between plastic (acetate or horn) and metal: the former are stronger and more visible, while the latter are more resistant and lighter. It's up to you!

How to buy prescription glasses online?

But is it safe to buy prescription glasses online? Of course it is! You only need to have your prescription on hand to order the glasses you like the most from home and receive them comfortably at home, without having to travel.

1. Choose the frame you like in the colour and size you prefer and click on the buy glasses button.
2. Choose the most suitable type of lens: non-prescription, if you are only going to use them as a fashion accessory, single vision lenses (for near or far vision) or progressive lenses (combining both fields of vision).
3. Enter your prescription profile data: sphere, cylinder, axis and pupillary distance. If you have chosen progressive lenses, you must also enter the addition. All these details must be included in the prescription given to you by your optometrist or ophthalmologist.**
4. Choose the type of glass your prescription glasses will be fitted with: Indo or Zeiss.
5. Select the thickness of the lenses: depending on your prescription and lens type, you can apply a reduction in thickness of up to 40%.
6. Add or not the blue light filter, recommended if you spend a lot of your time in front of computer screens or mobile devices.
7. Choose a tint: the usual for prescription glasses is clear, but you can tint the lenses to protect against glare, make them photochromic or give them a polarised treatment.

Once you have completely designed your prescription glasses, all you have to do is enter your payment and shipping details to complete your purchase.

Trends in prescription glasses

Even if you wear them for your health, prescription glasses are still a fashion accessory, with which you can express your tastes and personality. Here are some of the trends that will be a hit this year:

• Retro-inspired XL glasses: when it comes to glasses, the bigger the better. As well as being a great aesthetic choice, they are much more comfortable, especially if you wear progressive lenses. Go for models with metal frames and avoid the classic gold, choosing pastel colours that match your skin, eyes and hair.
• Clear frames: they have gradually become more and more popular over the last few years, as they give a youthful and fun touch to the face, without overloading the features too much. Choose a premium brand to make sure they won't yellow over time.
• Coloured frames: Do you have a favourite colour that enhances your eyes and goes great with all your clothes? Dare to wear it on your glasses too, it will give you an extra touch of personality that will fascinate you.
• Vintage inspiration: the classic always comes back. Cat-eye frames in acetate, aviator glasses or round models inspired by the hippie movement of the 60s are making a strong comeback this season.
