Eyeglass Lenses and Coatings in Gatineau
At Les lunettes de l’atelier in Gatineau, we offer eyeglass lenses from Nikon and our Sélection atelier range to suit your prescription, visual needs and budget. We help you choose the right lenses for your frames and daily activities.
Single Vision Lenses
Single vision lenses correct your vision at one specific distance: far away, at a computer screen, or for reading. They can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses provide distance, intermediate, and near vision without a visible line. We select their design according to your daily habits and visual needs.
Office Lenses
Designed for reading, computer use, and close-up activities, these lenses offer generous near and intermediate viewing areas. They are particularly useful in the office or workshop but are not suitable for driving.
Photochromic Lenses — Transitions®
These lenses darken outdoors and lighten indoors to adapt to changing light conditions. Several colours are available; their ability to darken inside a car depends on the model selected.
Polarized Sunglass Lenses
Polarized lenses reduce glare reflected from surfaces such as water, snow, and roads. They improve visual comfort in sunlight, whether you are driving during the day or enjoying outdoor activities.
Refractive Index and Lens Thickness
A higher refractive index generally allows for thinner lenses with the same prescription. We help you choose the appropriate material for your prescription and frames.
Anti-Reflective Coating
This coating reduces reflections on lens surfaces, improving transparency and visual comfort. It also makes your eyes more visible behind your glasses.
Scratch-Resistant Coating
This hard coating improves resistance to minor everyday scratches. It helps extend the life of your lenses without making them scratchproof.
Smudge-Resistant Coating
Hydrophobic and oleophobic layers repel water and reduce the buildup of oils. They make fingerprints easier to remove and help keep your lenses clean.
