Choosing a thinning

We offer lenses without refraction (1.5 refractive index), with single refraction (1.6 refractive index and 100% UV protection) and double refraction (1.67 refractive index and 100% UV protection).

Recommendations

  • For lenses with low powers (-2.0 - 4.5 and +2.0 - +4.0) we recommend a thinned (refractive index 1.6) or unthinned lens.
  • Double gain is recommended for intensities (-4.0 - 7.0 or +3.5 - +5.5)

In addition to being lighter and thinner, double and triple thinned lenses offer 100% UV protection. However, a double-thinned lens is not optically superior to a single-thinned lens. We therefore recommend that you choose a thinner lens according to your strengths.

If you have a larger lens power than mentioned above, please contact our customer service.

Lens colours

You can choose clear or tinted lenses.

  • Clear lens: normal clear eyeglass lenses without tint.
  • Sunglass shade: tinted sunglass lenses.
  • Sun-darkening lenses: tinted sun-darkening lenses, also known as photochromic lenses.
  • Polarising lenses: tinted anti-glare lenses.

Pupillary distance or PD or KV value

The PD value (or KV value) tells you the distance between the pupils and is often found on the card that came with your glasses.

What kind of frames can be lensed?

Linssittämiseen sopivat kehykset:

Kaikki hyväkuntoiset käytetyt ja uudet muovi- ja metallikehykset, joissa on linssit paikallaan.

Alla esimerkkejä kehyksistä, joihin olemme tehneet uudet linssit (voit klikata kuvaa suuremmaksi).

Kehykset joita ei voida linssittää:

  • Valmiit luku- ja aurinkolasit sekä edulliset asusteeksi tarkoitetut kehykset eivät sovellu linssitettäviksi. Valmislaseilla tarkoitetaan esim. kaupoissa myytäviä luku- ja aurinkolaseja. Valmislasien kehykset ovat usein niin heikkolaatuisia, etteivät ne kestä uusien linssien asennusta.
  • Siimakehykset/nylor-kehykset, joissa kehyksen alaosa on korvattu nailonlangalla.
  • Kehyksettömät kehykset (ns. hengettömät), joissa linssien ympärillä ei ole lainkaan kehyksiä.
  • Erittäin kaarevat kehykset (yleensä urheilulasit) eivät sovellu linssitettäviksi.
  • Puukehykset

Jos olet epävarma onko kehyksesi sopiva linssittämiseen voit lähettää kuvan asiakaspalvelumme arvioitavaksi.

OLO® Anti-fog – anti-fog eyeglass lenses

Anti-fog lens structure

OLO® Anti-fog nanocoating is the first physical coating available in the Nordic countries that permanently and effectively prevents the fogging of eyeglasses! The lenses, which are well suited to northern conditions, prevent fogging and make everyday life easier, whether at work, in sports or outdoors. The anti-fog coating is also particularly suitable for people who wear face shields at work.

Benefits

  • Effective anti-fogging of glass
  • Optically neutral – does not degrade the optical properties of the lens
  • Physical and durable coating: the coating is directly on the lens material.
  • Easy to use: just activate after washing the glasses
  • No need for separate liquids
  • OLO® Frostproofs are well suited for sports, outdoor activities and work where you move between different warm spaces
  • OLO® Anti-fog is also suitable for work and situations where a mask is used
  • Made in Finland

Users’ experiences

“The field of vision at the top of the lens remained clear throughout the hour-long outdoor walk and I didn’t need to dry the lens of droplets to see ahead. The lenses did not fog up during the whole trip.”- Minna, Turku

“I was one of the first to test Piiloset’s frost-free OLOlins and just wow! The experience has been nothing but a plus. The world has become a much clearer place, and I don’t mind wearing a mask anymore.” – Leevi, Raisio

“I just got these lenses for my own use , absolutely great, didn’t fog up when I went with the mask on the bus, to the shop or wherever I had to go! Highly recommended!” – Tero, Helsinki

How does an anti-fog coating work?

Previous anti-fog coatings have required separate liquids to achieve anti-fog properties.OLO® Anti-fog is based on a nanocoating of the lenses. The coating induces a high surface energy on the lens surface, which breaks down water molecules into a transparent water film. This prevents vision-obstructing fogging and allows clear vision through the lenses even in challenging conditions.

Themicroscopic nanocoating of frost-freeOLOlins® is only about 5 nanometres thick. By comparison, human hair is about 100,000 nanometres in diameter and a human blood cell is about 7,000-8,000 nanometres in diameter.

On the left, a normal hard coating. On the right,OLO® Anti-fog breaks down large water molecules into a transparent film.

Availability at

OLO® Anti-fog coating is available for allOLOlinse® ( except OLO®basic ).OLO® Anti-fog is always hard coated.
Anti-fog coating is also available for polarised and blue light protected lenses.

Treatment of anti-fog coatings

The function of the frost-free surface is enhanced by an activation line. The use of the cloth protects the coating from contaminants and soiling. After treatment with activation cloth, the lens surface is hydrophobic, i.e. water-repellent.
