Eyeglass Lens Types We Make In-House

Our on-site lab makes every type of lens, from single vision to progressives, on computerized lens equipment. Most are ready the same day.

  • Diagram of a single vision lens

    Single Vision

    A single-vision lens has the same prescription power across the whole lens, set for reading and near vision or for road signs and distant objects. Need lenses for books, screens, reading music or a sport? Our lab can customize this lens for you.

  • Diagram of a bifocal lens

    Bifocal

    A bifocal lens has two areas for vision correction, split by a visible line across the lens. The top part corrects far vision, and the bottom segment corrects near vision.

  • Diagram of a trifocal lens

    Trifocal

    A trifocal lens corrects vision at distance, intermediate and near ranges. It is one lens with three regions.

  • Diagram of a progressive lens

    Progressive

    Progressive lenses correct vision at all distances. Each lens blends from one focal length to the next, with no visible line.

Transitions lenses changing from clear indoors to dark outdoors

Transitions Brand Lenses, Same-Day Service

Prescription Transitions lenses change color in direct sunlight, so one pair gives you vision correction and UV protection. You pick the style and the lens color.

Lens brands we offer: Varilux, Zeiss, Hoya, Shamir, Essilor, Seiko, Nikon, IOT, Crizal, Younger Optics, Nupolar, KBCO, Corning, Kodak, and many others. We make your eyeglasses to match your prescription.

    Always a great experience in the past 5 years that we have been going. We get a professional, complete eye exam there yearly and buy our RX glasses there. ALWAYS a good experience with all staff. They do lots of in-house services in their on-premise lab.

    Wow!!!!! The customer service was out of this world! When I walked in the door, I was immediately greeted and waited on. There were others also in the building that were being waited on as well. I felt I was important, listened to, and understood. My glasses are beautiful and well constructed! I will not go anywhere else and I will tell all my neighbors and friends in the south villages!!! Thank you☺️☺️☺️☺️

    Wonderful experience! Staff was pleasant and helpful. I know I’ll get the highest quality care consistently. Fun fact: they haven’t increased their prices in 20 years! Highly recommend. Nuff said.

    Incredibly efficient and well organized. I just needed prescription sunglasses from my out of state doctor’s visit earlier in the year. I had them in just over an hour at a very reasonable price. I would recommend Hindsight to anyone.

    I am thrilled with my new glasses from HindSight in Pinellas plaza. From the walk in greeting, the eye exam and personal touch with picking the right features to order, they were wonderful!

    At the suggestion of a neighbor, I stopped in hoping to get my glasses fixed. Even though they were purchased elsewhere and the repair was more involved than we initially thought, they persevered and got me back in business quickly. The staff was very friendly & professional. I will be back!

    Hadn’t had an eye exam for four years and also needed updating for my reading glasses. Hindsight offered a quick appointment and the most thorough eye exam I have ever had. Thank you. Excellent communication and informed explanation of test results. Quick replacement of lenses too, using my existing frames. Couldn’t ask for more.

    I dealt with a wonderful person named Ladonna. I was not satisfied with the glasses I purchased and she was so patient with me until I was completely satisfied. I had to purchase another pair and she was so kind and helpful and above all patient with me. I highly recommend Hindsight and especially Ladonna.

    I work in I.T. and had difficulty looking at my computer monitor. I went to Hind Sight Eye Care for their expertise. I left with two different pairs of glasses; one for vision and a great pair of Oakleys. The staff is very knowledgeable in all fields of Eye Care and were patient and thoughtful. I’m never going anywhere else except Hind Sight Eye Care!

    I stopped in to get my glasses repaired after calling around to several other places, and I’m so glad I did. Mohamed was absolutely amazing — professional, friendly, and incredibly fast! From now on, I’ll proudly be one of their loyal customers. 👓🙌

    Fantastic service by Dr Russell. I got an appointment within a week. The same day service was more than I expected. In a hour I had new lenses in my frame. I’ve never experienced such wonderful and same day service. I was renting in The Villages of Florida for 2 months when my vision got cloudy. So pleased with results. All at a reasonable fee.

    Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Doctor is very detailed and explains everything so you can easily understand. My glasses we made within 1 hour I highly recommend this eye Doctor office.

    As this was my first visit to Hindsight, I experienced great success. Dr. Russell greeted me, reviewed my health & eye health with me. The exam was done efficiently and I moved onto the care of staff member, LaDonna. We discussed glasses choices and moved onto the purchase. It was a surprising pleasure that the glasses cost far less than expected…

    Beautiful glasses to choose from. I asked for help finding something in the style I like, and I went with the frames they recommended for me. They really got my style and picked a flattering size and shape for my face. They also had the glasses done so fast! Normally, at my place back home, I have to wait 1-2 weeks, but they had them done in an hour!

    No question for the best eye exam, Complete check up of your eyes, and a honest opinion as to what you need or dont need and never a mention of buying glasses at HindSight and a perscription given to you with the Doctors results for you to get glasses where ever you choose.

    I love the staff at Hindsight. They are knowledgeable and friendly. The exam is always pleasant and stress free, no long waits. They help me make good choices for lenses and styles and are considerate of my budget. I also love how they fix my glasses free of charge when I bend something the wrong way or they start to sit wrong on my face. I happily recommend them.
