Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Clear, Blue-Light, and Photochromic lenses?
Clear lenses offer natural, transparent vision and are ideal for everyday indoor use. Blue-light filtering lenses are designed for heavy screen users — they reduce high-energy blue light from devices to ease digital eye strain. Photochromic lenses automatically darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors, making them the perfect one-pair solution for people who move between environments throughout the day.
Which lens index is right for my prescription?
For improved comfort, thinner lenses, and reduced edge distortion, higher-index lenses are often recommended as prescription strength increases. As a general guide:
| Lens Index | Recommended For | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 1.56 | Up to ±2.00 SPH | Great everyday value, suitable for mild prescriptions |
| 1.61 | −2.25 to −4.00 SPH | Thinner and lighter lenses compared to 1.56 |
| 1.67 | −4.25 to −6.00 SPH | Reduces lens thickness and edge distortion significantly |
| 1.74 | −6.25 SPH and above | Thinnest and most discreet result for high prescriptions |
These ranges are a guideline only. Lens choice depends on your full prescription, frame selection, and personal preference. Our team is happy to advise on the most suitable option for you.
Are all coatings really included at no extra cost?
Yes — absolutely. Every Chan8e lens comes complete with all five premium enhancements: aspheric design, scratch-resistant coating, UV filter, anti-reflective coating, and hydrophobic layer. There are no hidden add-ons or upgrades at checkout. The price you see is the price you pay.
Can I buy lenses without a frame?
Our lenses are currently available as part of a complete glasses purchase only and are not sold separately. Simply choose your frames, then select your preferred lens type and index at checkout.
How do photochromic lenses work?
Photochromic lenses contain special molecules that react to UV light. When exposed to sunlight outdoors, these molecules activate and darken the lens automatically. When you move indoors away from UV, the molecules return to their clear state — typically within a few minutes. This happens continuously, adapting to your environment all day long.
Will blue-light lenses help with screen fatigue?
Many wearers report a noticeable reduction in eye strain, headaches, and fatigue with extended screen use. Blue-light filtering reduces your eyes' exposure to high-energy visible light from phones, laptops, and monitors — particularly helpful in the evening for those concerned about screen time affecting sleep quality.
How do Chan8e lens prices compare with high-street opticians?
Chan8e lenses are typically priced lower than those offered by high-street opticians for similar lens types and features. Prices elsewhere can vary depending on the package and added coatings, which are often charged separately. At Chan8e, all five premium features are included as standard, so you get clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras.
How long do the coatings last?
With proper care, all coatings are designed to last the full lifespan of your lenses — typically 2 to 3 years with everyday wear. To prolong coating life, we recommend cleaning lenses with a microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive materials, and storing glasses in their case when not in use.
