What Are
Digital Lenses

High-definition, or digital lenses, have been described as the most important improvement in prescription eyewear in the last 100 years. The improvement in vision from traditional lenses to digital lenses has been compared to the difference between a tube television and a new high-definition television, or an off the rack suit compared to a custom suit. If you are dissatisfied with the clarity of your eyesight with your current traditional glasses, fully custom digital free-form eyeglass lenses can provide you with clearer vision in every gaze direction and in all lighting conditions.

Digital lenses are available for all types of prescriptions, and even more important for those with high prescriptions so virtually anyone who wears eyeglasses is a good candidate for digital eyeglass lenses. The lenses are available in thin and light materials, making them ideal for long wear, even with the strongest prescriptions. If you wear contacts more than your glasses, but are looking to change it up a little, this lens is also perfect for you! The precision of digital lenses will make your prescription look exactly as it did in the exam room and while you are wearing your contact lenses.​​​​​​​

Digital Lenses Precision

Digital free-form lenses are custom lenses fabricated based on the wearer’s prescription. The result? Lenses that six times clearer than traditional ones. Digital lenses provide sharper image quality, improved contrast sensitivity, better nighttime vision and peripheral vision. The fabrication of digital lenses are customized for:
​​​​​​​

  • The lenses position in front of the wearer’s eyes in the eyeglass frame to provide the most accurate lens power.

  • The angle between the eye and the back surface of the lens in different gaze positions (for example, when the wearer is looking off to the side rather than straight through the center of the lens).

  • The frame size.

  • The position of the wearer’s pupil within the frame outline.


This customization eliminates more distortion and will help you transition to and from far and near vision much more easily.

At Specs Appeal in Decatur, we value precision and utilize a digital measuring device called the Optikam for all glasses made in our office. The Optikam takes into account how the eyeglass frame sits on your face, how far it fits, the curvature of the frames as well as how you hold your head when you read. This ensures that your new prescription glasses have optics that are perfectly aligned and optimized to give you the clearest possible vision.
