Cogan Frames

Frames come in many different materials, brands, styles and shapes from around the globe.

There are sports, industrial, childrens and fashion frames, rimless, full rimmed and semi rimmed frames...frames for fashion and frames for function and some for both!

When choosing a frame, it needs to reflect your personality and allow for your lifestyle. It needs to meet the parameters of the lenses that are best suited to your needs and finally it needs to be fitted by your Optician to give Optimal Lens Positioning and comfort.

Recent developments in progressive lens technology, has now moved to customisation to suit lifestyle requirements.

Greater visual clarity and wearer comfort is the end result - sharper, more natural vision in all areas of the lens.

This is achieved by the application of back-surface technology. Lenses are produced to an individual design. The design for the wearer is achieved by a complex calculation to produce the ultimate lens.

By incorporating direct digital surfacing, every point on the back surface matches to a point on the front surface, optimising the integrity of the light waves into the eyes. This process ensures that internal reflection within the lens is completely removed.

The surface of the lens prescription is improved extending to the reading zone. Depending on the prescription, patients can achieve a 30% larger reading zone when choosing one of these custom made products. The wearer experiences a more generous area consistant with crisp reading and stable vision.

In low light conditions our pupils open, which can have a dramatic impact on vision quality. This can be perceived as increased light sensitivity and night vision problems, especially with wearers who have cateracts. By decreasing these distracting aberrations created by the wearers lenses, back-surface technology optimises vision in low light.

With the advantage of these progressive lenses, wearers will achieve close to natural vision. First time wearers adapt rapidly and this results in the lowest rate of unsuccessful wearers.
