Coatings and options

Filters part of the blue light from screens. Many people find long screen days more comfortable.
Photochromic
Clear indoors, darker in the sun. One pair for inside and outside.
Thin & light (high-index)
Thinner, lighter lenses for higher powers, so the glasses look and feel better.

A hard coat that helps the lenses stay clear for longer.
Polarised
For sunglasses: cuts the glare from roads, water and car bonnets.
