Not all spectacle lenses are created equal. The latest advancements in spectacle lens technology is FreeForm production. Our in-house optical laboratory was upgraded with a FreeForm spectacle lens generator in mid 2010 and with this upgrade we are able to continue providing the very latest in spectacle lens design to all our patients.
FreeForm technology uses 4 axis lathe technology and microprocessors to produce precise curvature changes when generating lenses and enables our technicians to produce an almost unlimited variety of lens designs. The new digitally created lenses vastly reduce the aberrations of traditional spectacle lenses.
What does all this mean? The lenses we supply are among the most advanced designs available anywhere in the world and they are standard for all suitable prescriptions that we dispense. The technology allows the lenses to be individually customised to produce the best form lens design for every patient’s unique prescription, facial features and how the frame sits on the face. This customisation minimises the peripheral distortions and widens the viewing angles associated with traditional multifocals or prescriptions requiring wrap frames. In the end what it does mean is that all patients of Kevin O’Brien Optometrist receive the best lenses because for your eyes and your vision only the best is good enough.
