And yes — with our unbeatable deal, you get 3 pairs of glasses for the price of 1 (including sunglasses!), making these upgrades more accessible than ever.

✨ Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating

Say goodbye to annoying glare and reflections. AR coating eliminates reflections from the front and back surfaces of your lenses, making your glasses look nearly invisible and improving your vision, especially at night or while using screens. Great for driving and screen time warriors.

☀️ Photochromic Lenses (Light-Adaptive)

These lenses automatically darken in sunlight and clear up indoors, making them perfect for people constantly moving between indoors and outdoors. No need to switch glasses — enjoy all-in-one comfort and UV protection.

🛡️ Scratch-Resistant Coating

Especially important for children or active lifestyles, scratch-resistant coatings add a protective layer to your lenses, keeping them clear and durable for everyday wear and tear. At 3 Pairs Optical, most of our lenses come with this feature built-in!

🌞 UV Protection Tint

Ultraviolet (UV) rays can harm your eyes over time. UV-protective lenses block these invisible rays, reducing the risk of cataracts and other eye conditions. It’s a must for both clear lenses and sunglasses, and we make sure every customer gets protected.

💻 Blue Light Blocker

Spending hours in front of screens? Blue light blocking lenses can reduce digital eye strain, headaches, and poor sleep. Perfect for students, gamers, office workers — or anyone living in today’s digital world.

😎 Mirror & Tinted Coatings

Mirror and tinted lenses don’t just add style — they reduce brightness and glare, making them ideal for driving, beach days, or high-glare environments. With our 3 Pairs Deal, you can include a stylish pair of tinted sunglasses in your eyewear collection without breaking the bank.
