Precision Solutions Beyond the Standard Prescription.
From changing light and reflected glare to complex binocular requirements, discover lens solutions designed around more specialised visual needs.
Some visual requirements go beyond conventional distance, near or progressive correction. Our speciality lenses are designed for situations where light conditions, glare, prescription complexity or differences between the two eyes require a more considered optical solution.
MVision’s range includes night driving lenses, prescription polarised lenses, photochromic lenses, prescription tinted lenses and specialised designs for binocular image-size imbalance. From Transitions lenses and light adaptive lenses to a customised Iseikonic lens, we combine advanced materials, precise manufacturing and technical expertise to help optical professionals address more individual visual requirements.
We approach speciality prescriptions through four questions: what visual problem needs to be addressed, under which lighting conditions it occurs, whether lens structure needs to change, and how the wearer uses their vision in everyday life.
Strong reflections from roads, water and other horizontal surfaces can interfere with comfortable outdoor vision. Prescription polarised lenses incorporate a polarising filter that reduces this reflected glare while retaining the wearer’s required prescription.
Options such as NuPolar lenses from Younger Optics combine ophthalmic prescription correction with high-efficiency polarisation and are available across several lens materials.
Wearers who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments may prefer photochromic lenses that automatically change transmission according to light exposure.
Transitions lenses are one example of these light-adaptive lenses. Transitions Gen S is fully clear indoors and darkens outdoors, while XTRActive is designed for wearers who require additional darkness in bright conditions and some activation behind a vehicle windscreen.
Some drivers experience distracting glare from headlights, mirrors and other bright light sources after dark. Specialised night driving lenses such as Tokai NIGHTVIEW use controlled spectral transmission rather than simply applying a dark sunglass tint.
NIGHTVIEW has a light yellow appearance and 87% luminous transmittance, allowing it to retain a high level of visible light while selectively modifying transmission. Suitability should still be assessed individually, particularly because darker tints are not appropriate for night driving.
Blue light lenses are designed to filter selected short wavelengths of visible light. MVision’s laboratory can produce blue-light-blocking coatings, while materials such as Asahi-Lite UV3G incorporate filtering characteristics within the lens material itself.
We position these technologies according to their actual filtering properties rather than promising that they will eliminate digital eye strain, as current clinical evidence does not establish a meaningful short-term advantage for blue-light-filtering spectacles in reducing computer-related visual fatigue.
When prescriptions differ considerably between the two eyes, the resulting retinal images may also differ in size. This condition is known as aniseikonia and can interfere with binocular fusion and depth perception.
Custom Aniseikonia lenses are more accurately described clinically as iseikonic lenses. MVision’s Equilibrium design adjusts magnification, curvature and thickness to help balance the perceived images between both eyes. (mvisionopt.com)
Some prescriptions require structural solutions beyond ordinary lens designs. Lenticular lenses, high-curve designs with prism compensation and customised base curves can be used where prescription power, frame shape or fitting requirements demand more specialised optical engineering.
