  • Standard Lenses: The classic eyeglass lenses

    Standard lenses are the simplest type of eyeglass lenses. The front surface of the lens is preformed, while the back surface - also known as the prescription surface - is customized to the wearer's needs. Both surfaces are spherical, which means they are sections of a sphere.

    Standard lenses are easy and inexpensive to make, but they do not correct the image distortion that can occur when looking through the edges of the lenses.

  • Aspheric Lenses: Thinner lenses, improved peripheral vision

    Unlike standard lenses, aspheric lenses are designed to minimize distortion, especially when looking through the sides of the lens. These lenses are flattened at the edges, resulting in a thinner lens structure and improved edge clarity.

    The benefit: Sharper vision even at the edges of the lens.

    Considerations: Accurate fitting is essential for optimal visual comfort.

  • Custom Freeform Lenses: Custom lenses for ultimate visual comfort

    Freeform lenses are the high-end option in eyeglass lenses. These lenses are tailored to the wearer's specific parameters, including prescription and fit, to provide the best possible correction of visual distortions and maximum comfort.

    Through precise customization, Freeform lenses create a unique "fingerprint" that defines the lens geometry and provides unparalleled visual clarity. However, as with aspheric lenses, precise fitting is essential to take full advantage of the advanced features of these lenses.

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about distance glasses

    • What are distance glasses and when do I need them?

      Distance glasses are designed for people with nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). They provide clear and/or comfortable vision of distant objects, making them ideal for everyday activities such as driving, playing sports, or viewing distant scenes.

    • Can I use my distance glasses for reading?

      Yes and no - it depends on your age and your prescription. If you don't have presbyopia (age-related farsightedness), you can often use your distance glasses for near vision without a problem.

      However, as you age and presbyopia develops, reading with distance glasses becomes more difficult. In this case, you may need a separate pair of reading glasses or progressive glasses that provide clear vision at both near and far distances.

    • What lenses are best for distance glasses?

      There are several lens options for distance glasses: standard lenses, aspheric lenses, and custom-designed freeform lenses. The choice depends on your individual needs and desired level of visual comfort.

      At Optik Maurer in Mittersill, we'll be happy to advise you on the best lenses for you.

    • What are the benefits of custom distance glasses?

      Custom distance glasses take into account your prescription, fitting parameters, and facial anatomy. The result is a personalized pair of glasses that provides maximum visual comfort and clarity, making them ideal for everyday use.

    • Can I use distance glasses as sunglasses?

      Yes, at Optik Maurer you can have your distance glasses made with tinted lenses or as sunglasses with UV protection. This allows you to enjoy clear vision combined with effective sun protection.

    • How often should I have my vision tested?

      We recommend that you have your vision tested by an optician every 1 to 2 years, especially if you feel that your vision has changed. At Optik Maurer in Mittersill, we offer regular eye exams to ensure that your vision remains sharp and clear.

    • Can distance glasses be combined with progressive lenses?

      Yes, you can. Progressive lenses correct both near and distance vision and often replace traditional distance glasses. However, depending on your lifestyle, it may be beneficial to have a separate pair of distance glasses in addition to progressive lenses - for example, as a backup for driving or for sports activities where progressive lenses may be less suitable.

    • How long does it take to get my custom distance glasses?

      Typically, it takes between 5 and 10 business days for your custom distance glasses to be ready at Optik Maurer in Mittersill. The exact time depends on the type of lenses you choose and the customization process.

    • What is the cost of custom distance glasses?

      The cost varies depending on the lenses and frames you choose. A detailed consultation at Optik Maurer in Mittersill will help you find the best solution for your budget without compromising on quality and comfort.

    • Why should I buy my distance glasses at Optik Maurer in Mittersill?

      At Optik Maurer, you benefit from personalized advice, high-quality lenses and precise fitting. We ensure that your distance glasses are perfectly tailored to your needs and the demands of your daily life.
