Digital Prescription Glasses & Sunglasses

When visual acuity is important you should be using a digitally surfaced lens. Digitally surfaced lenses give you the best ocular clarity because you get to use the entire lens.

Traditionally lenses are ground to the optical center of your lens. This is the portion of the lens that sits directly in front of your pupil. With a digitally surfaced lens you are able to see clearly using the entire lens, not just the center.

When you receive you're new digitally surfaced eyewear it may take some getting used to. Some people can put them on without any trouble, while others need to train their eyes a bit more. This training period is different for everyone. It may take from 7-10 days for you to feel comfortable. Because your prescription has been optimized throughout the entire lens, you will have to retrain your brain for what you are now able to see.

In your brain the optic chiasm assembles the information that your eyes are receiving through your lenses and thus give you binocular vision.

It is best to try your eyewear on first thing in the morning before your brain starts processing information through your uncompensated Rx.

Humphrey Lensometer

Your doctor needs to have a Humphrey or a Hoya digital lensometer to be able to know if there is an issue from the original Rx they had written and what the newly compensated Rx reads.

If they use a standard lensometer like the ones pictured below, they will not be able to correctly read your digital prescription.

I recently received my new prescription in digitally surfaced lenses from Heavyglare Eyewear. Wow! I am so pleased with my final custom-made product.

Believe it or not, when I first received the new glasses and tried them on, I thought something was a little off - my vision wasn't as clear as I had expected. When I spoke of my concern to the sales representative at Heavyglare Eyewear, I was advised to give it a few days, as my eyes may take a little bit longer to adjust to the digitally surfaced lenses. I am so glad I took the advice... after a few days of letting my eyes relax and adjust to the new lenses, I feel like I have a whole new set of eyes - everything is crystal clear! Thank goodness I didn't give up on these digitally surfaced lenses.

Thank you, Heavyglare Eyewear, for encouraging me to try something new - I never would have known it was possible for me to see so clearly!
