Lens Types: Standard vs. Advanced vs. Premier
on Jan 12 2022
Need a hand in customizing your prescription glasses? We’re here to help!
Once you’ve selected either Single Vision or Progressive lenses, the next step is choosing an appropriate material and lens enhancement(s) that best suit your lifestyle.
Single Vision Lens Types
Standard
MOSCOT’s Single Vision lenses are available in three different tiers. The first tier is called Standard Single Vision and is a standard uncoated plastic lens. Standard Single Vision lenses are most suitable for occasional usage, i.e., your frames spend the most time in their case.
Advanced
The second tier is called Advanced Single Vision. This lens is also made from standard plastic but includes an anti-reflective treatment which allows more light to penetrate the lens, instead of reflecting off it, providing clearer vision. This lens offers both aesthetic benefits, as well as a diminished halo effect from oncoming headlights when driving at night. We recommend Advanced Single Vision lenses when your frame spends at least half the day on your face.
Premier
Our top tier is the Premier Single Vision—and our most popular option. This lens type is made with a more impact resistant and lightweight material called polycarbonate. Premier Single Vision lenses have a premium anti-reflective treatment, preserving the lens, making it more scratch resistant. We believe in it so much that we include a one-year warranty for any scratches or scuffs that may arise. These lenses are recommended for when your frame lives on your face!
Progressive Lens Types
Advanced
As with Single Vision lenses, there are different tiers of Progressive prescription lenses. The first Progressive lens we offer is called Advanced Progressives. This is our basic entry into Progressive lenses and is made with lightweight and durable polycarbonate, inclusive of a premium anti-reflective coating. The guaranteed warranty is for two years.
Premier
Premier Progressive lenses are similar to the Advanced Progressives in material and premium anti-reflection but are also digitally surfaced to widen your fields of vision (or simply minimize peripheral blur). MOSCOT Premier Progressive is an all-purpose, digital design with a perfect balance between distance and near fields of vision.

HBO’s Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That, certainly made a BIG splash on its premiering weekend with the long-awaited return of beloved characters, costumes, and charisma. In true Sex and the City fashion, the stars were styled to perfection with many MOSCOT eyeglasses featured on the faces of our favorite focal points.
Chris Noth playing John James Preston—better known as Mr. Big—wears MOSCOT’s signature style, The LEMTOSH in Matte Black in a scene reading before bed. The LEMTOSH glasses are handcrafted using Italian acetate and feature iconic diamond-shaped rivets and real hinges and hardware.
Leading lady, Cynthia Nixon, reprised her role as Miranda Hobbes with a sleek new hairdo and crystal glasses, wearing MOSCOT’s MILTZEN eyeglasses in Blush. Handcrafted from Italian acetate, these round frames are available in 12 colorways—from bold and bright hues like Emerald and Ruby, to classic colorways like Crystal, Blush, and Tortoise.
Beloved best friend and confidante to Carrie, Stanford Blatch—portrayed by Willie Garson— is known for his colorful wardrobe full of statement pieces. In the first two episodes of And Just Like That, Garson makes a splash in two custom tinted glasses. Paired with a monochromatic periwinkle suit, Garson wears The MILTZEN in Ruby with Celebrity Blue Custom Made Tinted™ lenses in the premiering episode of the rebooted series. Episode two showcases Garson in The TELENA in Butterscotch with a lightened hue of MOSCOT’s Purple Nurple Custom Made Tint™. Wille Garson, who succumbed to Cancer in September 2021, leaves behind a colorful legacy as a true fashion icon.
