Below is a partial list of lens designs and technologies we offer:

No Line Progressive Lenses
No Line Progressive Lens are designed to allow you to see at a distance (driving a vehicle), intermediate (looking at the dashboard), and near (reading a map) with no lines or visible sections.  The absence of bifocal lines makes this lens the most desirable lens cosmetically.  Our optical shop offers the latest technology in Progressive Lenses including the VARILUX® PHYSIO™ which provide unsurpassed sharpness and comfort.

Bifocal Lenses
Bifocal Lenses provide both far and near correction in one lens.  A visible line divides the two areas providing a bottom segment for near viewing and an upper segment for distance.

Trifocal Lenses
Trifocal Lenses are a variant of the bifocal.  This double-line lens provides you with correction in three areas: distance, intermediate and near.  Ideal for older folks who enjoy computer work and book reading.

Aspheric Lenses
Aspheric Lenses offer enhanced vision, visual appearance and comfort for high prescriptions.  They reduce the effect of ones eyes looking larger or smaller, enhance clarity of peripheral vision and improve comfort in a lighter package.

Computer Lenses
Computer Lenses may be needed if you work on a computer at least two hours per day.  These lenses are individually tailored for computer work to reduce eye strain; utilizing an intermediate distance prescription, anti-reflective coating and special filters.

Anti-Reflective Coating
Anti-Reflective Coating is a special coating that reduces distracting reflections.  We offer the latest and most durable coating in the industry, the Crizal AVANCÉ™ with Scotchgard™.  This coating results in better quality of vision, improved night vision, reduced eye fatigue and an invisible lens look.  Ideal for individuals with troublesome glare, halos and reflections.

Polarized Lenses
Polarized Lenses are the best option for eliminating glare.  Hunters, boaters, fishermen, golfers, and drivers are just a few who benefit from the glare blocking properties of polarization.  Any surface can create glare in sunlight, especially water, snow, sand, windows, vehicles, and buildings.  Therefore, polarization eases eye strain and fatigue in bright sunlight.

Transition Lenses
Transition Lenses darken in the sunlight and lighten indoors.  Indoors they are virtually clear and outdoors, almost as dark as sunglasses, providing full-time protection from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

High Index Lenses
High Index Lenses provide a thinner and lighter option for strong prescriptions, offering enhanced comfort and appearance with no reduction in visual quality.

Impact Resistant Lenses
Impact Resistant Lenses are lightweight and offer enhanced protection against breakage.  We recommend these for children, teens, employees with occupational safety requirements or anyone who needs superior protection.

We are one of the premiere ophthalmic practices in Tucson.  The practice was established in 1984 by Drs. Jeffrey I. Katz and Barry Kusman, who pioneered the first ambulatory surgical center in the city and have since provided corneal, cataract and laser vision surgery to the benefit of thousands.  In response to a growing need, a comprehensive skin care center was added in 2003 offering all modalities of aesthetic skin care including laser, pulsed light, and MD administered Botox® and fillers.  We have and continue to be committed to offering the highest quality of care through our investment in continuing education and technological advancements
