What We Do

Being an independent practice, we are not obliged to run with specific frame brands, which means you can rest assured that your choice of eyewear will be as individual as you are. We only stock top quality frames and are constantly updating our styles – both designer and non-designer.
Even if you enjoy trying on frames, it’s not always easy to narrow down your choices or know what suits your face. At McClellan Grimmer, we have professionally trained staff who take the time to match your prescription and lifestyle with frames that suit both your colouring and your face.

Which lenses are right for you?
Glass or plastic? Hi index (thin) lenses? Aspheric (flat) lenses? Anti reflection coats? Lenses that go dark on sunny days? Single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses? There is a huge choice in lenses and we’re focused on finding the right ones for you.

Plastic is safer
We very rarely use glass lenses these days as there are better products that don’t carry the same risk glass poses if it shatters while you are wearing them. Plastic is far safer and in low powers looks good. The ultimate safety lenses however are Phoenix, Trilogy or Polycarbonate materials, which are very impact resistant and are thinner than standard plastic.

Thinner is better
Hi index (thin) lenses are available in all lens forms. They are in varying indices that result in a thinner, lighter and better-looking lens.

Leave the fish bowl at home
Aspheric lenses are especially good for longsighted people. They make the centre of the lens thinner, flatter and take away the fish bowl magnification effect high positive powers lenses can cause.

Reflection free
Anti-reflection coats make a lens reflection free, which means no more eye masking reflections on the front of the lens, nor on the back of the lens so that you can see better.

Lenses that go dark on sunny days
Transition lenses go dark quickly in sunlight, but take some time to clear. They are good as a general protection against the sun but may not go dark when you want them to (in a car for instance, due to UV inhibiters in the windscreen) and sometimes they go dark when you might not want them to (beside a window in your office when you’re dealing with an important client!).

Prescription sunglasses

Polarised lenses are great to use for prescription sunglasses as they cut out damaging UV rays and filter out the sun just like normal sunglasses. Polarised lenses have the added benefit of significantly reducing reflected glare, which improves the quality of your vision and makes them ideal if you like fishing or skiing, but suffer from light sensitivity.

Single vision, bifocal or progressive lenses
If you are under 45 years, single vision lenses will allow you to see at all distances. However, if you are over 45 years, single vision lenses can only give you either distance, intermediate or near vision.

Bifocal lenses enable you to see distance and near distances, while progressive lenses permit all distances to be viewed because of a progressive change in lens power from top to bottom (distance through to near).

The Office lens is a progressive lens designed specifically for the office environment. It enables easy viewing of a computer and near based materials, doing away with the far distance component.

At McClellan Grimmer Edgar, we offer a full range of contact lenses to suit all vision needs, lifestyles and budgets. We’re committed to finding you contact lenses that provide you with the best vision as well as the utmost in comfort.
