Yes, we are able to make lined trifocals, as well as the no-line progressive bifocal.

Trivex is lighter than polycarbonate and offers better clarity, whereas a polycarbonate lens can be made thinner.

Anti-Reflective coating is very delicate. Any dirt or dust present on the lenses can scratch away at the coating over time. This coating is better suited for those who are in front of a computer all day or for drivers to reduce the glare of the sun/oncoming headlights.

Blue blocker lenses filter out the blue light that is emitted from everyday electronics; phones, computer screens, and tablets to name a few. This blue light can cause eye fatigue and headaches.

There may be a slight blue tint to the lens, but it will not impact your vision in any way.

Mirror coating may prevent these lenses from changing to their full potential. The mirror coating will also not be a solid mirror in appearance, like in sunglasses.
