which type of lenses do you choose?

At Wink & See, you can choose from different types of lenses: tailored to your eyes and your way of seeing. If you choose standard clear lenses, there’s no extra charge. For special options, a small additional fee applies: blue light filter (€19,95), transition lenses (€29,95), sunglass lenses (€19,95) of progressive lenses (€29,95). Want to know more about these lens types? On the pages above, you’ll find detailed explanations of all the different kinds of lenses and glasses.

lens quality

After selecting your lens type, you can choose the level of lens quality that best suits you. Below you’ll find the differences between our four quality levels. Most online retailers provide standard lenses with an index of 1.50. At Wink & See, you’ll automatically get higher-quality lenses with an index of 1.56 at no extra cost. That means you’ll enjoy better lenses from the start, without paying more.

Single vision lenses are designed for one field of vision, such as reading or distance. Single vision lenses have one strength, making them ideal for specific tasks. Progressive lenses combine multiple prescriptions in one lens, giving you sharp vision at near, intermediate and far distances. They provide a smooth transition without visible lines and are ideal for daily use. Progressive lenses are available for an additional €30 on top of your chosen lens type and quality.

If you spend a lot of time in front of a screen, choose lenses with a blue light filter. They block harmful blue light from digital devices, reduce eye strain and help prevent fatigue or headaches. These lenses offer clear vision without reflections and are also available without prescription. They can be combined with single vision or progressive designs. The blue light filter costs €19,95 extra and provides lasting comfort during work or study.

Yes, sunglass lenses are available with or without prescription. They block UV light and reduce glare, making them perfect for driving or outdoor activities. Choose from different tints and colors and combine them with any lens quality: from budget to ultra. Sunglass lenses have an additional cost of €19,95 compared to clear lenses.

Photochromic lenses automatically adapt to light conditions: clear indoors and darker outdoors. They protect your eyes from UV rays and save you from switching between glasses and sunglasses. The transition is smooth and fast, giving you comfortable vision in any setting. They are available with or without prescription for an additional €29,95 and can be combined with a blue light filter for extra protection.
