AusSpecs and Multifocal Eyeglasses

What are Multi-Focals ? AKA Progressive lenses and No Line Bifocals
Us Old timers always knew then as Multi-Focals because they effectively have a multiple of areas in the lens that allow us to see clearly. They are often confused with Tri-focal's
but this is not the case
The same is true for what we now call Progressive lenses.
As the name suggests these lenses allow for clear viewing progressing from Distance Viewing at the top to Reading at the bottom of the lens with a small area in the center for Intermediate Viewing
The following Flash Presentation on the Reading, Intermediate and Distance focal points of the Multifocal Lens shows how limited we really are in the viewing area of the lens and also points out that
those that are expecting to don a pair of Multi-focal eyeglasses and see as clearly and as easily as we did as kids are often disappointed.

Can everyone wear Multi-Focals ?

No not all people are suited to wearing these types of prescription glasses.
One of the most common reasons is that with multifocals you need to turn your head to focus on an object rather than just move your eyes.
This takes some getting used to and some re-training of the brain before it becomes second nature. There are other, also medical reason for not being able to wear progressive lenses but fortunately
the vast majority of us that need them can get used to them eventually.
The quality of the Eyeglass Lens is also a very important factor. Only use manufacturers you trust or have been recommended to.
If you are at all concerned the bright side is that it is far better to pay the very cheap prices at www.ausspecs.com.au for excellent quality Multi-focals and find you cant wear them than the hugely expensive prices in the retail stores !

Tri-Focal's

Tri-focal's should not be confused with Multi-focals although this is often the case. Tri-focal's have 3 very different and distinct focal points on the lens and are usually separated by a visible line
between the focal areas. Only a few manufacturers offer this option nowadays

Computer Glasses

Computer glasses consist primarily to let you read both a book and the computer screen with little movement of the head (providing your monitor is setup correctly.
In the past we have only have the option of either Multi-focals (which have a very small Intermediate Viewing area) or Bifocals (which sort of do the job but not exceptionally well).
Clearly a new lens was required for this application and it had to fulfill the requirement to have wide viewing areas for both reading documents and the computer screen. It also had to be specifically
focused on the distance value (normally around 80cm) a person sat from the screen and they had to get rid of the pesky line across the lens.
Fortunately this has now been achieved by manufactures of e.g. the Access Lenses and others so we can all see that little bit better.

Prescription Eyeglasses in Australia

Discount Prescription Glasses Online by AusSpecs

With the repealing of the Optical Dispensing Laws in most states of Australia the Optical retail market has been opened up for direct competition to the Retail Chains that dominate the industry in Australia.
These laws were seen for what they were in that they fostered a closed shop mentality and produced an environment where the average Australian believed that a pair of standard, no frills prescription glasses was a very expensive item with a starting price in the 100's of dollars.
With the introduction of web based optical stores the message is slowly filtering out about the true cost of the product.
For the net savvy of course, people have been buying overseas for many years but this has never carried such things as the safe guards under the Trade Practices Act and Fair Trading regulations that Australia businesses are legally bound by. There are many sad stories to be told where satisfaction was by no means guaranteed.
As with any deregulation there will always be the cowboys and tricksters offering fake Brand Named Designer Glasses or so called Quality product at a super cheap price, long on promises and short on quality and delivery so it is important to do some homework and always buy from an Australia based site with a reputation.
It has not been an easy road to achieve an impeccable reputation such that AusSpecs enjoys for quality at a realistic price. Much hard work, subversion and threats from within the industry have been faced and overcome to bring the AusSpecs site to you. We can now boast years of service to thousands of satisfied customers with genuine (as opposed to fictitious) customer feedback to support the fact that the quality of our eyeglasses are second to none.
In defense of some of the operators in the optical industry it is unrealistic to castigate them all to the point of calling them rip-off merchants and worse as some sensationalists Entrepreneurs on some Online Glasses Web sites will attest.
It is an easy thing to sit back and denigrate the Optical stores for overpriced products and ripping off the consumer but at the end of the day those businesses have massive overheads that have to be met so as to be available when needed by their customers. Only the naive will believe that this is specific to the optical industry. Such is the price of retail service but now there is a better way.
The vast majority of Health Funds were happy to endorse reputable online optical dispensers for the simple reason that their members benefited substantially from the reduced cost and because the members were happy with the quality of the product received.
Some Health Funds, on the other hand, for reasons best known to themselves, choose to reject online optical dispensers and the inherent savings even at the protests of members themselves. At the end of the day however, the members will obviously make their judgment known through their chequebook.

By choosing AusSpecs as your optical provider you are assured of a quality product and guarantee of satisfaction and as can be seen from the comments of clients past the quality of our glasses is second to none.
