What Are Digital High-Definition Glasses? | Vision Source

We promise -- it’s not a made up thing!

Wearing glasses may give you 20/20 vision, but you probably still see small distortions due to the characteristics of your eyes and the limitations of regular lenses. Thanks to advances in lens manufacturing technology, you may be in luck! 

High-definition glasses are made to help correct and eliminate aberrations, potentially giving you sharper vision. These lenses are designed to help your vision in all lighting conditions and may even improve nighttime driving. 

5 Benefits of High-Definition Glasses

Here are some of the potential benefits of wearing high-definition glasses:

  1. Sharper vision
  2. Reduced aberrations 
  3. Customized to your eyes
  4. Improved nighttime vision
  5. Improves vision in all lighting conditions 

Types of High-Definition Lenses

Free-Form Lenses: These are the most popular type of high-definition lenses.

Free-form lenses are made with computer-controlled surfacing equipment that provides a much more precise and defined finish. These lenses are sometimes customized to be positioned directly in front of the individual's eyes so they’re perfectly centered when placed into the eyeglass frame. 

Wavefront Lenses: Wavefront lenses are a much more customizable and are made with the same technology used to measure the eyes before LASIK eye surgery.

How does it work? The instrument projects uniform light waves into the eye, which reflect off the retina. The “wavefront” of light that reflects back is evaluated for all optical imperfections, such as aberrations, and the measurements are used to drive the computer-controlled manufacturing process to make the lens.

The outcome is a lens that is precisely customized to your eye, resulting in sharper vision.

Are High-Definition Glasses For You?

High-definition glasses can work for anyone who wears glasses. But people with a higher prescription may notice the benefits of high-definition glasses a bit more than those with a lower prescription. 

Since you’re receiving a better lens, the cost for high-definition lenses is 25 to 30 percent more than traditional lenses. Although high-definition lenses are more expensive, many people who try them report noticeably sharper vision.

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
