Feel great, see clearly in your eyewear
Ultra-precise vision with Essilor AVA technology
At Hendry Opticians, we believe your glasses should feel as good as they look. From the precision of your prescription to the frames you choose, every step is designed to give you comfort, clarity and confidence. With our fully refurbished practice and a team of expert Dispensing Opticians, we’re proud to offer one of the most advanced eyewear experiences in Scotland.
What makes AVA different?
The Vision-R 800 uses a Smart Tests algorithm that enables us to measure your prescription to an incredible 0.01 dioptres. Traditional refraction only measures in steps of 0.25 dioptres, meaning most prescriptions are far less precise than our eyes are capable of detecting. In fact, an Essilor study showed that 95% of people have more sensitive vision than 0.25 steps allow https://ecp.essilor-pro.com/gb/essilor-lenses/personalised-lenses/ava, which is why AVA can make such a remarkable difference.
This ultra-precise measurement means we can fine-tune your prescription to match your visual sensitivity as closely as possible, giving you sharper, more natural eyesight.
See the difference instantly
The Vision-R 800 also offers a unique simulation experience, allowing you to compare your current vision with your new prescription in real time. Patients often tell us it’s a fascinating moment; seeing clearly what they’ve been missing.
Who can benefit from AVA?
Everyone. Adults, teenagers and children can all enjoy a more comfortable, more accurate examination. The process is smooth, swift and less tiring than traditional methods, making it ideal for anyone who wants the very best for their eyes.
Lenses designed for precision
Once your exact prescription is measured, we then create lenses to match it. With AVA, you can choose from Essilor’s most advanced digitally manufactured lenses, including:
- Varilux designs for seamless multifocal vision
- Eyezen single-vision lenses for relaxed, comfortable sight during screen use
- A full range of premium options tailored to your needs
When paired with our state-of-the-art measurements, these lenses deliver exceptional clarity that you won’t find elsewhere locally.
