Sync Lenses

Do you experience irritated eyes, blurred vision or headaches while looking at a screen?

Then you may well have digital eye strain.

Many people spend an average of 8-10 hours a day looking at digital screens. This can cause digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome.

Frost Borneo can offer Sync third-generation enhanced single vision lenses from our favoured lens company Hoya, which are specifically designed to relieve digital eye strain.
These are ideal for anyone between 13 and 45 or older who spend two or more hours a day focusing on digital screens. It is also beneficial to people focused on near sighted tasks.

The lenses are available as either Sync I, Sync II or Sync III dependent on age and use.

Sync lenses have the distance power for everyday use and a ‘boost zone’ at the bottom of the lens. They are especially designed for the way many people use their eyes today.

The boost zone has a slightly increased power, which helps the eye muscles to relax and focus more easily, enhancing visual comfort during prolonged screen time.

Dispensing Optician Liz says “I really like these lenses. They definitely help my vision feel more comfortable. I find them especially useful when reading in the evenings or if I’ve spent a lot of time looking at a screen during the day.”

They are also perfect for patients who don’t quite need a varifocal yet and come in a variety of materials so even if you have a high prescription they can be made in to the thinnest lenses possible.

Call in to Frost Borneo to find out more about our dispensing opticians first hand experience of these lenses.

Ronit Furst eyewear was established in 2001 after Ronit couldn’t find a frame she liked, so she painted one of her existing frames and the result was an original, colourful and lively frame…just how she’d imagined! Each Ronit Furst frame is hand-painted meaning limitless colour combinations and patterns and the ethos of the range is “to create quirky and individual styles that capture the wearer’s personality.”

Great British Bake Off star Prue Leith was a long-term wearer of Ronit Furst’s hand painted frames due to her love of colour, and a collaboration between the two evolved into the creation of ‘Prue’ by Ronit Furst eyewear.  This beautifully crafted collection of frames are original, innovative and designed by Prue to encourage women and men of all ages to enjoy colour.

In the words of Prue herself… “I really believe that beautifully colourful glasses are a morale booster. I feel distinctly more confident wearing mine!”

SPINE – Get A Grip!

Frost Borneo are pleased to announce the arrival of SPINE frames. These great looking frames use a patented revolution in hinge technology to ensure the frames never slip! They grip, they flex, they’re durable and they shut automatically. Find out more here or pop in and speak to one of our Dispensing Opticians. You’ll be amazed!

SPINE – GET A GRIP!

Frost Borneo are pleased to announce the arrival of SPINE frames!

These great looking frames use a revolution in hinge technology to ensure grip is never lost.

Inspired by the interaction between vertebrae, SPINE solves age-old hinge limitations. Unencumbered by traditional parts and manufacturing processes the globally patented SPINE hinge grips all day long, morphing to fit any face shape and head size, all with the lightest of touch.

Quite simply; they grip, they flex, they’re durable and they shut automatically, a great feature if your glasses are on and off a lot. The frames will not slip down your face, a great feature for active lifestyles.

The flex means wearer comfort as SPINE flexes in tune with you and your movements. Durability for the wearer comes from parts working together. There are 5 working SPINE vertebrae seamlessly helping each other take the strain. Wear from friction becomes totally non-existent meaning a really durable frame for the wearer.

There are no loose screws because there are no screws! SPINE offers two totally unique and patented multidirectional smart hinges. These help stabilise the wearer prescription, improve wearer lens clarity and enhance wearer comfort.

SPINE – eyewear with backbone!

Open Day Success!

We enjoyed a couple of wonderful open days on 4th and 5th October. Not least because Great British Bake Off star Prue Leith decided to join us! We are Henley’s exclusive stockist of Prue Leith’s own range ‘Prue’ by Ronit Furst. Prue was kind enough to meet and have photos taken with the Frost Borneo team and took her own photos of our ‘Prue’ window display!
