Regardless of your age or visual requirement, there is a perfect pair of eyeglasses for you at Visual Gears, the optical shop of optometrist Dr. Michael Monterola located across Robinson's Supermarket at the Abreeza Mall. The shop offers the world's leading provider of eyeglass lenses, Essilor and Nikon, which offers lens solution for all ages.
"It's always wiser to use your yearend bonus or cash gift on something that is useful and can last long, especially when it's something that makes you see things clearer. Invest in your eyes with any of our Essilor and Nikon brands: Varilux, Anti-fatigue, Myopia-control, Transitions Signature, Crizal Prevencia, Experio, SeeMax, DigiLife, Home&Office, Soltes Wide, Web.lens, Double Aspheric lenses," Monterola said.
Crizal Prevecia coatings combined with correct prescription and lens type are like balm to the eyes, protecting it from screen glare and harmful Blue-Violet light that come from digital devises such as cellphones and laptops.
As most people are constantly glued to their cellphones and computers on a daily basis, their eyes get tired, dry, or itchy from the screen glare. The above combination reduces glare and eyestrain, and improves contrast and readability of small characters. This relaxes the eyes and helps prevent their premature aging.
Varilux progressive lenses, ideal for those aged forty and above, creates comfortably clear and naturally sharp vision at all distances, great for those who want versatile lenses that work really hard to give them crystal clear eyesight.
For those who want keep their eyeglasses on even when outdoors, Transition lenses are the way to go as these adapt to changing light to protect eyes not only from sunlight, but also from UV rays, glare and eye fatigue.
The different varieties of Transition lenses are very versatile, fully clear when indoors and turn dark for that extra protection when outdoors, even inside the car. It also has variable polarization that adapts to brightness.
Crizal lenses prevent premature eye aging by providing complete protection from UV rays, smudges, scratches, glare, dust and water. Experio lenses are polarized lens that gives wearers better visual comfort by addressing blinding glare, allowing for clearer and crisper vision that sees color as they should be.
"If you prefer to wear a pair of eyeglasses while multi-tasking indoors, whether at home or at work, most recommend are Nikon lenses, known as the 'perfect enhanced intermediate vision lens for home and office'," Monterola said.
Nikon lenses are best for those who prefer intermediate and near vision (as opposed to far vision) because they find it more convenient when doing work at home or at the office.
Nikon Home and Office lenses provide comfortable and naturally clear vision up to several meters, eliminating the need to put it on or take it off like reading glasses. It is ideal to use when reading, working at your office table, watching TV, using your laptop, cooking, or even just chatting with colleagues, family or friends. This one pair of eyeglasses is all that you need; no shifting to a different pair when working or moving around the house or the office.
If contacts lenses are preferred, Visual Gear also carries the Air Optix Colors breathable contact lenses that have a unique, smooth surface technology that creates a protective layer of moisture that protects and resists the deposit of irritants so lenses stay comfortably on the eyes throughout the wearing period.
Air Optix Colors contact lenses blend with the eye color to create enhanced yet natural-looking eyes. They are available in a wide range of stunningly cool or vibrant colors to suit different personalities, and also offer its own line of contact lens disinfecting solutions to keep those contacts in tiptop shape.

Swissflex frames, made of 'high-performance polymer with medical properties', are flexible, stable, antiallergenic, and so light it's like wearing nothing," Monterola said. (NCB)
