From single vision to blue light blockers Loch has it all! 

Are you new to the world of vision care and looking for your first pair of prescription lenses?  Or maybe you are looking to switch from the type of lenses you have always used.  Whatever the case, Loch Effects offers every lens type complete with the most sophisticated technology and coatings; all available to be fitted in Loch’s exclusive line of Canadian-made frames. 

Let’s look at the prescription types first, or in other words, how the lens will correct your vision: 

Single Vision      

Single vision lenses correct one field of vision as determined by your prescription: near, intermediate or distance.  

Progressives  

Progressive lenses correct near, intermediate and distance fields of vision in one lens.   

Readers 

Readers do not require a prescription and offer simple magnification for up-close activities.   

Now let’s move on to the lens technology available for any prescription type: 

Blue Blockers 

Loch’s blue light blocking lenses filter out the harmful blue light projected by most mobile devices and computer screens.  If you are in front of a screen for a good portion of the day, you may want to consider protecting your eyes with Loch’s next gen Blue Blockers. 

Transitions 

Transition lenses know when you are outside and quickly transition from clear to dark, blocking out UV rays and allowing you to use one pair of glasses for inside and outside activities. 

Polarized Sunglasses 

Loch’s polarized sunglasses cut out glare, enhance clarity and contrast while blocking out harmful UV rays, absorbing 85% of visible light.  They are available in grey, green or bronze tints and you can even request custom mirrored options. 

Lastly, we have coatings and lens thicknesses to round out all the options: 

Anti-reflective coating 

This coating is applied to the backside of the lens and greatly reduces reflections that bounce off the lens and into the eye. All Loch lenses come standard with AR protection. 

Anti-scratch coating 

All Loch lenses come with a hard coat that helps reduce the chance of your lenses being scratched.   

1.67 High Index lens 

Recommended for prescriptions thicker than -/+4, a high index upgrade will greatly reduce the thickness and weight of the lenses for a more comfortable and better looking pair of glasses. 

FSA, HSA and Claims 

Do you need a new pair of prescription eyeglasses or sunglasses, and have benefits to cover some or all of the purchase?   

With Loch Effects, it has never been easier to shop for eyewear online.  Loch offers an exclusive collection of Made-in-Canada frames coupled with any type of lens, including single vision, progressives, transitions, polarized sunglasses or blue light blockers.  The lenses come standard with anti-reflection and anti-scratch coatings and you can even request a 1.67 high index upgrade to keep the lenses thin and lightweight.   

Best of all, you can choose up to three frames to try on at home for free with Loch’s Home Try-On program! 

There are two main ways to use benefits to buy Loch eyewear online: 

1.  FSA & HSA Card: 

If you have an FSA (flexible spending account) or HSA (health savings account) card, you can purchase right through the website checkout process.  If you don’t have an FSA or HSA card, or have a different type of vision benefit package, simply follow step 2 below. 

2. Vision Insurance Claim 

To submit a claim for partial or full purchase reimbursement, most vision benefits providers follow a three step process: 

i) Ask your benefits provider for a reimbursement form and fill it out. 

ii) Attach your itemized invoice from Loch Effects.  If you require a different format compared to Loch’s standard invoice, just contact customer service and they will take care of it for you. 

iii) Submit your reimbursement form and invoice to your benefits provider. 

In store convenience, without ever leaving your home.                  

With COVID-19 leading to the closure of many brick-and-mortar stores that once offered essential services like prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses, polarized lenses, Canadians and Americans are more than ever relying on online stores to fill those needs.  Shopping for eyewear online can be a difficult and frustrating experience due to the personal nature of finding frames that not only look great but fit well too. 

You will then contact Loch for a free return shipping label to return the frames.  If you just need sunglasses, you can keep a pair and return the rest.  If you need prescription sunglasses or eyeglasses, you will return all the frames, before Loch fits the chosen frame with RX lenses and sends it back to you.  Whichever way you go, the Home Try-On program is a fun and risk-free way of keeping up to date on your vision needs.
