Eyeglass lenses in Tirana: anti-reflective, Blue Control, AI progressive
ANTI-REFLECTIVE LENSES
It happens all the time: someone is talking to you, looking you in the eye, yet all they see is a white glare on your glasses. Or at night, behind the wheel, oncoming headlights scatter across your lenses and tire your eyes. Anti-reflective coating is an ultra-thin layer on the lens surface that softens these reflections: more light reaches your eye, your vision is sharper and calmer, and your eyes look natural behind the lenses.
At Italoptik almost all of our organic lenses are made with anti-reflective coating. It comes in several reflection colours: green, lilac, blue, and more recently a white, almost invisible coating. Anti-reflective lenses are easier to clean, more resistant to scratches and smudges, and a real help for computer work and night driving.
SILKEN: OUR PREMIUM ANTI-REFLECTIVE
For those who want the very best, we offer Silken, our premium anti-reflective coating. What makes it special is that it is applied on both sides of the lens, the outside and the inside. This softens not only the reflections coming from the front, but also those coming from behind and from the sides, which bounce off the lens back into your eye. The result: cleaner, calmer vision, lenses that look almost invisible, and a more natural look of your eyes in photos, video calls and every conversation.
What does anti-reflective coating do?
It softens light reflections on the lens so you see more clearly and your eyes are not tired by glare, especially in front of screens and at night.
Does anti-reflective coating protect against UV rays?
UV protection comes from the lens itself and its UV filter. The anti-reflective coating complements it by reducing reflections and making your vision more comfortable.
How is Silken different from a standard anti-reflective coating?
Silken is applied on both the outer and the inner surface of the lens, so it also softens reflections coming from behind. It is the premium choice for maximum clarity and the most natural look.
Can I combine it with Blu Control or progressive lenses?
Yes. Anti-reflective and Silken work with prescription lenses, progressive lenses and Blu Control lenses. We will advise you on the combination that suits your eyes best.
How do I clean anti-reflective lenses?
Use lukewarm water and a little neutral soap, or a lens spray, and dry them with a microfibre cloth. Avoid paper, clothing and hot water.
Come and see the difference for yourself at Selvia or at the Tirana Castle store in Tirana, or in Fier.
BLUE CONTROL LENSES FOR BLUE LIGHT
If you spend long hours in front of a computer or phone, you know that feeling at the end of the day: tired, dry eyes and a gaze that is no longer fresh. Blue Control lenses filter part of the blue light from screens and LED lighting, reduce eye strain and make work more comfortable, even late in the evening.
We make them to your prescription on thin, light high-index organic lenses (1.61, 1.67, 1.74). They are a good choice for office work, for students and for children who study in front of a screen. Come and try them in Tirana, at our Selvia store or at Tirana Castle, or in Fier: we will help you choose the lens that suits your eyes and your day.
Do Blue Control lenses protect my eyes from screens?
They filter part of the blue light from screens and help your eyes feel less tired during long working hours. They do not replace breaks: every 20 minutes, look at something far away for 20 seconds.
Can I have them with my prescription?
Yes. We make them to your prescription, on 1.61, 1.67 or 1.74 index organic lenses.
Are they suitable for children?
Yes, for children who study or play a lot in front of a screen. If your child’s myopia is increasing, ask us about MyoStop lenses too.
How often should I have my eyes checked?
Every 6–12 months, or when your doctor recommends it. Book an eye exam.
PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES
Indoors they have only about 10% tint. When you step outside they darken automatically up to 50–60%, like sunglasses. The stronger the light, the darker the lens. One pair of glasses for the whole day.
TITAN 1.8 AND TITAN 1.9 LENSES
Italoptik is the only optician in Albania that makes glasses with Titan 1.8 and Titan 1.9 lenses.
They are the thinnest lenses for high myopia: they refract light more strongly than organic lenses, so even with a high prescription your glasses stay thinner, lighter and more elegant.
ORGANIC LENSES
The most widely used lenses in the world: very light and shatter-resistant. At Italoptik, 95% of our organic lenses come with anti-reflective coating, for clearer vision every day.
MIRROR LENSES
They have a reflective outer layer that reduces strong light entering the eye. Comfortable at the beach, in the mountains and for sports, with a modern look.
AI PROGRESSIVE LENSES
One pair of glasses for distance, the computer and reading. In December 2025, Italoptik was the first in Albania to bring progressive lenses designed with artificial intelligence. Their surface is carved by robots with very high precision and the vision channel is wider, so you see more clearly and get used to them faster.
Who they are for: anyone who needs glasses for both distance and near, usually after 45.
MYOSTOP LENSES FOR CHILDREN
MyoStop lenses are designed for short-sighted children. They correct vision and at the same time slow down how fast the prescription increases year after year. They are at least 25% thinner than standard lenses. Italoptik brought them to Albania for the first time.
Who they are for: children and teenagers with myopia.
POLARISED LENSES
Polarised lenses block the strong glare that comes from the sea, wet roads or snow. Colours look clearer and your eyes get less tired. They can also be made with your prescription.
Who they are for: people who drive a lot, and for the sea, the mountains and sport.
NOT SURE WHICH LENSES YOU NEED?
