Lenses

At Gareth Edwards Optometrist we prefer to use Shamir lenses in our eyewear.

Shamir are Australian-made and have been creating quality lenses for over 40 years. Shamir focuses heavily on providing innovative technology, outstanding customer service while maintaining impeccable quality with a team of highly experienced technicians and customer service personnel based in Brisbane, Australia.

Check out some of the lens types we specialise in:

Single Vision Lenses

The basic lens with provision for focus at only one distance. These are good for people requiring a basic distance or reading pair of spectacles.

Bifocal Lenses

Bifocal lenses combine two distinct lens powers to help the wearer focus their near and far vision using the one pair of glasses. These are available in the traditional style with a distinct line separating the two sections or in a blended style without the obvious line.

Multifocal Lenses

Multifocals, or Progressive lenses, include a range of lens powers within the one pair of glasses to help eyes focus better between the multiple distances. This provides a more seamless clarity over a variety of distances, effectively filling the gaps present in bifocals. Allowing the wearer to read, use a computer, watch TV and drive a car all in one pair of glasses.

Occupational Lenses

Our Occupational Lenses are specifically designed for those working in office environments. These are effectively a type of multifocal lens but with a large bias towards distances commonly used in an office environment. Providing a much larger area or ‘sweet spot’ for reading and computer distances. These are customisable to suit the workspace of the individual and how far away they need to see while in their office.

Sports / Recreation

Shamir specialise in manufacturing sunwear lenses specifically for sports and those with an active lifestyle. Our sports lenses offer wide and far distortion-free vision with minimal side distortions. Enjoy clear and comfortable near-vision on and off the field.

Safety

Did you know we provide certified prescription safety spectacles? 

We are a provider for PSG Eyewear who have contract arrangements with many large employers, such as mining and energy companies and offer the largest range of safety frames and lenses in Australia.

We also carry a great range of safety spectacles from Shamir OHS, which provide a range of trendy Eyres safety frames married with high tech Shamir lenses.

Stock Lenses

We carry a range of hard coated stock lenses for basic distance or reading spectacles. These can be edged to fit a frame in-house in Toowoomba, often with a next-day turn-around.

Lens Coatings, Treatments and Materials

Shamir coatings are available in a full range including Scratch Resistant, Hydrophobic Anti-Reflective, UV and Blue Light protection. Their lens treatments include Tinting, Transitions® and Polarised just to name a few. As well as a full range of lens materials from standard CR39 plastic through to high index thinner and lighter materials for patients with high prescriptions.

Contact Lenses

At Gareth Edwards Optometrist, we work with a variety of contact lens brands and encourage the use of contacts for those who don’t like glasses, play sport or would prefer an easier alternative when they’re going out.

There are cases where contact lenses can provide a better visual outcome for the patient and we’ll recommend them where appropriate. This includes Myopia control to reduce the rate of progression in children and young adults.

We can also arrange direct delivery of your contacts with a possible 2-day turn-around.
