Boise's Premier Selection of Stylish Glasses and Sunglasses

We carry the first single-vision aspheric lens design that accounts for eye movement and incorporates the prescription into both sides of the lens using free-form design technology. These lenses provide, clear, natural vision, allowing each lens design to be perfectly matched to each individual prescription. This product is a lens that makes focused vision possible in every direction. It is a perfect choice for higher prescriptions.

Progressive lenses are used to correct presbyopia and other disorders of accommodation. The lenses allow the patient to see clearly at a distance and gradually increase in power to also allow the wearer clear vision at both intermediate and near zones. Since the power changes gradually, there is no image jump. There are however, areas of aberration in the peripheral portion of the lens caused by the changing power. Progressive lenses require careful placement relative to the wearer’s pupil center. Incorrect positioning or adjustment can result in adaptation problems.

Free-form lens design and manufacturing results in a more precise lens. Free-form progressives allow for wider intermediate and near zones, ease of adaptation and elimination of the peripheral swim found in a standard progressive.

At Intermountain Eye Centers we offer a wide array of advanced progressive lens designs to accommodate all of our patients’ needs. Free-form progressives allow for more lens customization – not a “one size fits all” philosophy.

• Hoyalux iD LifeStyle is a semi-personalized progressive design, with the progressive partially shaped on the front and fully customized on the back to provide clearer vision.
• iD MyStyle offers a true one-of-a-kind experience that considers past wearing experience and individualized visual preferences, and produces the most personalized, highest level of PAL technology available.

Anti-reflective coatings improve both your vision through your lenses and the appearance of your glasses. An anti-reflective coating will eliminate reflections on the lenses, causing the lenses to look thinner or non-existent, which gives you better eye contact with people. An anti-reflective coating can benefit virtually everyone. It improves night vision and decreases eye fatigue with prolonged computer use. Since high-index lenses reflect more light than regular plastic lenses an anti-reflective coating will decrease the reflections, allowing for better vision. An anti-reflective coating will also help to eliminate reflections of sunlight into your eyes from your lenses when applied to the back surface of your sunglasses.

Super HiVision EX3 enables 99.5% of the light to pass through the lens and reach your eyes. HOYA matches the index of the coating with the index of the lens material. The lenses and coatings will expand and contract at the same rate, preventing peeling and allowing for extreme scratch resistance. Super HiVision EX3 includes a hydrophobic coating that resists dirt, oil, fingerprints and other distracting smudges.

Meiryo EX4 includes full UV protection added to the backside of the lens. Other added features include: extreme durability, superior clarity, and an easy to clean lens surface. Get ready for next-level clarity with Meiryo™ EX4™. We understand that when you buy a new pair of glasses, you expect nothing less than crystal-clear vision. But what most don’t realize is how easily everyday scratches and smudges ruin that initial sharpness. That’s why we’ve created Meiryo™ EX4™: our most advanced premium spectacle lens coating yet.

The staff at Intermountain Eye Centers will provide you with educated suggestions regarding lens materials and their benefits. Thickness, weight and impact resistance are important factors to consider because your vision, appearance, comfort and safety matter.

Hi-Index lenses are thinner than plastic lenses but have more surface reflections. An anti-reflective coating should be applied to improve both the performance and appearance of the lenses.

Transition VI and Transitions XTRActive Lenses are designed to be worn indoors and darken outdoors. A transition lens helps to regulate the light reaching your eyes, helping you squint less and reducing both fatigue and eye strain. A transition lens will protect eyes by blocking 100 percent of ultraviolet light. An anti-reflective coating can be applied to a transition lens to further enhance the wearer’s experience by improving indoor clarity, reducing distracting glare and enhancing nighttime driving.

The Transition VI lens is available in a wide variety of lens materials and most lens designs in either a gray or brown tint. The Transition VI lens is virtually clear indoors. The Transition VI lens doesn’t darken in the car.

Transition XTRActive lenses activate using both ultraviolet and visible light. The lenses have a slight tint indoors and at night. Since the lens activates with visible light it will change slightly behind the windshield of a car. It doesn’t replace sunglasses but it does give another option for someone who wants a darker lens. At this time, the lens is only available in gray in some materials.
