Lenses

Essilor lenses are the top choice of eyecare professionals nationwide, and our doctors at Downtown Eyes couldn’t agree more! Experience the difference with the #1 recommended lenses for clearer, more comfortable vision.

Here are just a few of the premium lens options we are proud to offer:

Around age 40, you may start to notice difficulty focusing on close-up objects or reading in low light—this is a natural part of aging known as presbyopia. Varilux® progressive lenses are specifically crafted for those 40 and over, providing crisp, clear vision at all distances with smooth transitions from near to far, so you can see everything effortlessly- even in dim lighting!

With the constant use of digital devices, our eyes are under more strain than ever. Increased screen time can lead to digital eye strain, leaving your eyes tired and uncomfortable. Eyezen® enhanced single vision lenses are designed to ease eye strain, offering sharper, clearer vision while helping to reduce the discomfort caused by prolonged screen time. Whether you need a prescription or just want a pair of computer glasses, Eyezen® is the perfect solution for better, more comfortable viewing.

Crizal® Anti-Reflective coating dramatically reduces glare caused by digital devices, overhead lighting, and night time driving- giving you the clearest vision possible.Crizal® Anti-Reflective also enhances the durability of your lenses by making them more scratch-resistant, smudge-resistant, and water- and dust-repellent, while providing an added layer of double-sided UV protection

Transitions® Photochromic lenses quickly react to UV light, darkening outdoors and returning clear indoors. The newest Transitions Signature GEN 8 lenses adapt quicker than ever before- darkening in seconds, and returning clear indoors in under 2 minutes! Choose from 7 lens color options: Sapphire, Amethyst, Amber, emerald, Gray, Brown, and Graphite Green.

Warranty & Prescription Changes

At Downtown Eyes, we’re committed to ensuring your eyewear fits and functions properly. Enjoy free adjustments and repairs, along with peace of mind knowing your frames and lenses are covered by our comprehensive warranty. We’re here to support you with kindness and care every step of the way.

Frame and Lens Warranty

Your lenses and frames are protected against manufacturer defects for one year from the purchase date!

Issues like stress fractures, lens coating crazing, lens delamination, lens chipping, and frames breaking at solder points.

Damage from abuse (e.g., deep scratches, improper cleaning, pet damage, being stepped on, etc.), lost, stolen, or destroyed eyewear.

If you would like to update lenses into an old frame, we aren’t responsible for any breaks or damage, as aging frames can be brittle. A frame waiver will be signed at the time of purchase, and frame will be sent to the lab to install new lenses.

For non-covered damage within a year of purchase, we offer a 50% discount on repairs or replacements. This doesn’t apply to lost or stolen eyewear.

Prescription Changes

  1. Prescriptions from Downtown Eyes:
    • If your prescription needs adjustment, our doctors will provide a complimentary prescription recheck within 90 days of the initial exam. If a new prescription is determined, we offer a 1-time lens replacement at no cost. After 90 days, a standard exam fee applies.
  2. Prescriptions Filled Elsewhere:
    • We’ll recheck the prescription within 60 days of the original refraction date, as long as the lenses were made correctly. We aren’t responsible for outside costs.

    • Lenses will be remade once for free if the new prescription is provided within 30 days of purchase. After 30 days or for additional changes, standard lens charges apply.
