Lenses: The transparent part of glasses or contact lenses that corrects vision. Types include single vision, bifocal, trifocal, and
progressive.
Lens Coating: Treatments applied to eyeglass lenses, such as anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and UV protective coatings.
Polarized Lenses: Lenses that reduce glare from reflective surfaces, often used in sunglasses.
Transition Lenses (Photochromic Lenses): Lenses that darken in response to sunlight and clear up indoors.
Bifocals/Trifocals: Glasses with lenses that have two/three different optical powers for near and distant vision correction.
