Who is it for?

Is Quichromes right for you?

Photochromic lenses that adjust their tint as the light around you changes, for wearers moving between indoors and outdoors.

Wearers who move between indoor and outdoor settings and want one pair that adapts.

  • Walkers, cyclists and anyone outdoors for long stretches
  • Drivers dealing with changing light through the day
  • Wearers who would rather not switch between clear glasses and sunglasses

How is it fitted?

Ask which materials the tint is available in, and how the lens behaves in the places you wear it most — behind a windscreen, photochromics darken less.

What does it cost?

Ask your counter for the price of your chosen prescription, material and coating before ordering. Frame and lens costs are quoted separately.

Your questions, answered

What is Clariviz and who is it for?

Clariviz is a lens brand from Eyegear Optics India Private Limited, the company behind Ben Franklin. Its portfolio includes progressive designs, occupational lenses, photochromic options and coatings. A Ben Franklin optician can help compare the options against your prescription and daily activities.

What is the difference between DigiPro 2.0 and ULTIPRO Bluecut?

DigiPro 2.0 is a progressive lens design with near, intermediate and distance viewing zones. ULTIPRO Bluecut is a surface coating with antireflective and blue-light-filtering properties. They serve different purposes; ask the optical team which combinations are available.

What does minimum fitting height mean?

Minimum fitting height (MFH) is the shortest vertical lens depth a progressive design needs to fit all of its viewing zones. A frame shallower than the MFH cannot take that lens, which is why your optician measures the frame before confirming the design.

How much do Clariviz lenses cost?

The price depends on the lens design, prescription, material and coating. Bring your prescription to a Ben Franklin counter for a quotation that separates the frame and lens costs before you order.
