The right lens depends on more than your prescription number. Someone who needs correction only for distance has different options than someone who needs a seamless blend of near, mid, and distance vision in one lens — and both are different again from someone with astigmatism or a very strong prescription. Our licensed opticians in Ajax walk through your prescription, your daily routine, and your frame choice before recommending a lens, rather than defaulting everyone to the same design.
We fit single vision, digital progressive, and specialty lens designs for patients across Ajax, Pickering, and Whitby, ground and edged to match your frame in-house. Every lens includes anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings as standard, with lens treatments like Transitions photochromic lenses, blue light filtering, polarized lenses, and mirror coatings available if you want them. We also fit myopia control lenses from Essilor and HOYA for children whose nearsightedness is progressing, as part of an ongoing myopia management program monitored by our optometrist.
Lens Options
Find the Right Lens for Your Vision
Single Vision
Corrects one field of vision — nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism — for everyday wear.
Digital Progressive
Seamless correction for near, mid, and distance vision with no visible line, precision-ground for your prescription.
Astigmatism & Specialty
Toric and specialty lens designs for astigmatism, high prescriptions, or specific visual needs.
Lens Coatings
Anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, blue light filtering, and photochromic (transition) coatings available.
For Children
Myopia Control Lenses
If your child's nearsightedness is progressing, myopia control lenses are designed to help slow that progression, not just correct current vision. We fit myopia management spectacle lenses from Essilor and HOYA at our Ajax optical store, and monitor progress with our optometrist over time.
Essilor Stellest
An Essilor spectacle lens built around 1,021 lenslets to help slow myopia progression in kids.
HOYA MiyoSmart
A HOYA spectacle lens developed with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to help slow myopia progression in kids.
Myopia control is a program, not a one-time purchase — it starts with an eye exam so our optometrist can assess whether your child is a candidate, followed by regular follow-up visits to track how their prescription and eye growth respond over time. We see children for myopia management from Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, and across Durham Region.
Included Standard
Stop Paying Extra for Standard Lenses
Every pair we fit starts with a 1.56 mid-index lens, with anti-glare and scratch-resistant coatings included — not an upsell. Many opticals charge extra for what we already include as standard.
Illustrative lens cross-sections by prescription strength (diopters) and material index — higher index numbers mean thinner lenses at the same prescription. Our 1.56 mid-index is included standard.
Refractive index measures how strongly a lens material bends light. A higher index bends light more per millimetre of material, so the lens can be ground thinner while still correcting the same prescription. Our 1.56 mid-index is included on every pair; higher indexes (1.61, 1.67, and 1.74) are available for stronger prescriptions that benefit most from a thinner, lighter lens.

Lens Treatments & Coatings
Beyond your base prescription, lens treatments add specific real-world benefits — from automatic sunlight tinting to night-driving glare reduction. Our licensed opticians can help you choose the right combination for your prescription and lifestyle at our Ajax optical store.
Transitions Signature GEN S
Clear indoors, dark outdoors — Transitions lenses adapt automatically to changing light.
Blue Light Filtering
Reduces the blue-violet light your eyes take in from screens and digital devices.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Cuts down reflections and glare so more light reaches your eyes instead of bouncing off the lens.
Easy-Clean Coating
A smudge- and water-repelling top layer that makes everyday cleaning faster.
Polarized Lenses
A filter that cuts reflected glare off water, roads, and snow — not just an overall tint.
Mirror & Flash Coatings
A reflective metallic finish added to a sunglass lens for extra glare reduction and style.
Satin Aktiv
A 9-layer anti-reflective coating built with night driving and screen glare in mind.
We fit lens treatments for patients across Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, and Durham Region — ask about combining treatments, like a photochromic lens with an anti-reflective coating, during your fitting.

Common Questions
Prescription Lens FAQ
What's the difference between single vision and progressive lenses?
Single vision lenses correct one field of vision, like distance or reading. Progressive lenses blend multiple prescriptions — near, mid, and distance — into one lens with no visible line, ideal if you need correction for more than one range.
How much do digital progressive lenses cost?
Our digital progressive lenses start at $189. Pricing varies based on lens material, coatings, and prescription complexity — our opticians will walk you through options during your fitting.
Can I get new lenses in my existing frames?
In many cases, yes. Bring in your frames and our opticians will assess whether they're suitable for new lenses.
What is myopia control and is my child a candidate?
Myopia control lenses, like Essilor Stellest and HOYA MiyoSmart, are designed to help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children, not just correct current vision. Whether your child is a candidate depends on their age and how quickly their prescription is changing — our optometrist can assess this during an eye exam and discuss options with you.
What lens treatments and coatings do you offer?
We offer Transitions photochromic lenses (Signature GEN S, XTRActive, and XTRActive Polarized), blue light filtering, anti-reflective coatings including Satin Aktiv, easy-clean coatings, polarized lenses, and mirror coatings. Our opticians can help you combine treatments based on your prescription and lifestyle.
