Anti-Reflective Coating
If glare from overhead lights or headlights are a problem for you, an anti-reflective coating applied to your lenses can solve your problem.  Anti-reflective coating will increase light transmission and reduce the amount of light reflected from your lens surface. 

Aspheric
Flatter than conventional lenses, aspheric lenses can be a good option for hyperopic patients.  Lenses are thinner and lighter and also, reduce the look of “magnified” eyes.

Anti-scratch Coating
Protective coating applied to plastic lenses.  Lenses will be scratch resistant (not scratch proof).

Also referred to as a “Lined” Bifocal or Trifocal.  Reading area (and intermediate in trifocal) defined by a sideways “D” shaped area in lens.

High-Index

PALs (Progressive Addition Lenses or No-Line Bifocals)
Lenses that gradually change from distance correction in the top portion of the lens to reading correction in the bottom portion of the lens.  Gradual change includes intermediate correction in between distance and reading correction.

Photochromic or Transition Lenses

Polarized
Lenses that reduce reflected glare and make excellent sunwear.  Available in most materials.
