Specialty lenses provided the foundation that Younger Optics was built upon. Over 50 years ago our founder, Irving Rips, looked at traditional lined bifocals that were available to the consumer and decided that he could do better. This led him to develop Younger's “seamless bifocal”; the first successful invisible bifocal and precursor for all progressive lenses. Since then Younger Optics has gone on to release other such specialty items as hi-add bifocal lenses, reverse slab-
|
off bifocals, and double D segment bifocal lenses. These innovations are designed to make it easier for the Eye Care Professional and the Rx laboratory to give the patient exactly what they need to see better! The ability to offer this type of technology to ECP’s, Rx laboratories as well as patients is what has helped make Younger Optics “The Optical Lens Innovators”.

Philosophy of Specialty Lenses
|
 |
 |
Not every patient is
the same. Some have more demanding visual needs than others,
while some have requirements not met with
today’s traditional lenses. When it comes to specialty
lenses, our mission is to offer both the Eye Care
Professional and the Rx laboratory the ability to give each
patient what they need to see clearer and better than they did with
their previous eyewear. Not only do we give the ECP more options to
choose from, we also strive to make it easier for the
Prescription laboratory to fill that
prescription. We have turned a complex Rx such as a
“slab-off”, which once demanded several
hours of processing by a highly skilled technician, into a
routine job that any Rx lab can process as routinely as most other Rx
jobs.

Specialty Lenses in Detail
|
 |
 |
The ability to take a
complex Rx and offer a simple-to-process solution is the driving force
behind our innovation. Before the innovative
solutions developed by Younger Optics, patients and
ECP’s were often forced to compromise. Today that
is no longer the case. By offering hi-add bifocal lenses, we
are no longer limiting the vision of patients to a fixed
range. And with our unique “reverse
slab-off” design bifocal lenses, patients
are able to wear one pair of glasses more comfortably
than ever before. "Double D" segment bifocal lenses
gives new options to patients and ECP’s looking to
deliver superior visual acuity in more than just the traditional way.
