OPTOMETRY SERVICES IN ROODEPOORT

PAUL MOLDOVANOS OPTOMETRIST

At Paul Moldovanos Optometrist we understand that each patient has unique needs. We therefore offer many custom solutions for the whole family, from spectacle lenses for your unique working distance, to custom made contact lenses for either lifestyle needs, to slow down the progression of your child’s myopia, or to drastically improve visions in cases like Keratoconus, post corneal grafts etc.

SPECTACLE LENSES:

SINGLE VISION LENSES

SPECTACLE LENSES:

Single vision lenses are the most prescribed lenses for people between the ages of 0 to 40. These lenses can be coated with a Transitions™ tint or left clear. At our practice, they always come with a hard coat for scratch resistance. Another add-on is an Anti-Reflex Coat (ARC).

SPECTACLE LENSES:

VARIFOCALS

SPECTACLE LENSES:

Varifocals are generally prescribed to people over 40 who cannot focus at near anymore. As opposed to single vision lenses, they have three zones of focus-far (driving and TV), middle (PC and workbench) and near (reading).

SPECTACLE LENSES:

OFFICE LENSES

SPECTACLE LENSES:

Think of these lenses as a hybrid between single vision readers and varifocals. They offer a clear vision from near distance through to the PC screen distance and up to the interview distance (around 2 metres). They cannot be used for driving, but they have an advantage over varifocals in that the side distortions are negligible and they are also ideal for larger screens.

Today’s lenses don’t only come with hard coatings for scratch protection, but also anti-reflex coatings(ARC) for bothersome reflections off PC screens and headlights.

CONTACT LENSES

SOFT CONTACT LENSES

SPECTACLE LENSES:

SOFTS ARE THE MOST POPULAR TYPE OF CONTACT LENSES AND OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO SPECTACLES. They are either used full-time or part-time for sports and lifestyle needs. They correct myopia (nearsightedness), far-sightedness and are also available as varifocals. The replacement frequency is either monthly or daily; we will help you choose the right one.

CONTACT LENSES

RIGID CONTACT LENSES

SPECTACLE LENSES:

Also known as RGP, these are generally, but not always, indicated in cases where soft lenses do not work. If the cornea (the front surface of your eye) is unevenly shaped, hard lenses act as a mould for a tear layer that cancels out the surface imperfections and restores vision. They can be uncomfortable, especially with an associated dry eye, and can dislodge too, and that’s where SCLERAL LENSES have the advantage.

RIGHT TO SIGHT

Our Right to Sight packages aimed at the budget-conscious and those patients who don’t have medical aid. The packages include an examination, lenses with hard coat only and a frame from a selection. Fitting fees (labour) is also included. The prices can change for higher prescription powers, but most powers fall within these prices as indicated on the RIGHT TO SIGHT slide.

NOTE:

In addition there is a blue blocker available that reduces your exposure to the blue light that is emitted from the display screens. Learn more here https://www.paulmoldovanos.co.za/are-your-screens-making-you-blue/

Sunglass tints have also evolved. We offer golf-specific, fishing and water sport-specific, and mountain bike and road bike-specific tints, as well as tints for shooting.
