PRATS: over 100 yearsmanufacturing ophthalmic lenses

Grupo PRATS is a leading manufacturer of high-tech visual solutions. We design and produce our lenses (such as the well-known VIMAX range) and premium treatments in our own laboratories, guaranteeing total traceability and the highest standards of quality and innovation, from the initial geometric calculation until they reach the optician.

Presbyopia, commonly known as eyestrain, is the natural loss of the lens’s elasticity to focus on near objects, and usually manifests from the age of 40 or 45. The most advanced and comfortable optical solution to compensate for it and regain clear vision at all distances is the use of progressive lenses.

Progressive lenses are advanced technology lenses that correct near, intermediate, and distance vision without visible dividing lines. Grupo PRATS premium lenses offer very wide visual fields and a smooth, natural transition, eliminating the need to constantly take glasses on and off throughout the day.

The adaptation period for progressive lenses usually ranges from a few hours to a couple of weeks, depending on the individual. However, thanks to exclusive technologies at PRATS, we use artificial intelligence to manufacture fully personalized designs like VIMAX Adaptive, which drastically reduce this time, achieving almost immediate comfort.

While conventional reading glasses only allow clear focus at a single short distance, occupational lenses provide perfect vision both up close (for reading documents) and at intermediate distances (for seeing the screen). They are the ultimate ergonomic tool for office work, preventing visual fatigue and neck pain.

Incorporating a blue light filter (such as QUARZ Blue) is highly recommended if you spend many hours in front of computer screens, mobiles, or tablets. This treatment blocks harmful blue-violet light, helping to reduce eye fatigue, prevent eye redness, and avoid disturbances in sleep quality.

Photochromic lenses (such as PhotoChrom by PRATS) are dynamic lenses that remain completely clear indoors and darken quickly when detecting UV radiation outdoors. They offer constant eye protection and comfort against glare, merging prescription glasses and sunglasses into a single frame.

A high-end anti-reflective treatment (such as QUARZ Solutions by PRATS) eliminates reflections on the lens surface. This results in superior optical quality and a much cleaner aesthetic, allowing others to see your eyes without reflections.

High-index or thinned lenses are especially recommended for people with medium or high prescriptions. By using denser materials, we manage to manufacture a significantly flatter and thinner lens, reducing the weight of the glasses and avoiding the unsightly magnifying or diminishing effect of the real eye size.

Yes, at Grupo PRATS we have specific lenses for childhood myopia control (such as DEFOCUS). These lenses not only correct vision so the child sees perfectly, but also incorporate a peripheral geometry backed by scientific studies that slows the progression of myopia, caring for their future visual health.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have created PRATS BIO, the first line of eco-friendly plant-based lenses in the optical sector. This innovation allows us to offer our most advanced designs while reducing the carbon footprint of production, proving that caring for the planet does not require giving up a single micron of visual precision.

You can find our optical solutions through an extensive network of partner opticians and visual health professionals. These experts will evaluate your prescription and use our high-precision instruments to recommend the Grupo PRATS design that best suits your lifestyle.
