What we are wearing - Holly's newest glasses

Holly is working through her Optical Dispensing course, and taking the opportunity to experience optics first hand trying different lenses.

Lens: Hoya Sync III 5, 1.50 index material with Sensity Grey and Diamond Finish Anti-reflection Coating

Frame: Lightech 30200L colour NP09 matt black/gold 52 eye

What do you like about these glasses?

Holly: This is my first pair of glasses with nosepads, and I’m surprised how comfortable they are. They are light, and I am enjoying the different look with a metal frame.

The sync lenses have a boost in power at the bottom of the lens. What difference are your noticing?

Holly: Assembling glasses in the workshop is pretty detailed, that extra boost is helpful. I don’t notice a difference compared to my other lenses, which are one prescription over the entire lens - these are just as clear and comfortable for distance vision. The combination of the Sensity tint plus the diamond finish gives me good glare control for screen work - which I am doing more of with my course.

These Sensity lenses go dark in the sun, how do you find this?

Holly: Good for outdoors.
