Progressive lens eyeglasses, also known as progressive lenses or varifocals, are a type of corrective eyewear that allows you to see clearly at all distances without the need for multiple pairs of glasses. Unlike bifocals, which have a visible line separating two distinct lens powers, progressive lenses are seamless.
They contain multiple prescriptions blended together in one lens. The top portion of the lens is designed for distance vision, the middle section for computer use or intermediate distances, and the bottom section for near vision (reading). As your eyes move down the progressive lens, the focusing power changes smoothly, allowing you to see clearly at any distance without needing to switch glasses.
How Do Specsmakers Progressive Lenses Work?
As explained earlier, Specsmakers progressive lenses work by incorporating multiple prescriptions into one lens. This eliminates the need for bifocal lines and provides a seamless transition between near, intermediate, and distance vision.
Are Specsmakers Progressive Lenses Right for Me?
Progressive lenses are a great option for people experiencing presbyopia, an age-related condition that makes it difficult to focus on near objects (typically starting around age 40). They're also beneficial for people who need corrective lenses for both distance and near vision and want the convenience of not having to switch between multiple pairs of progressive lenses.
However, consulting with an eye doctor at Specsmakers is important to determine if progressive lenses are the right fit for you. Some people experience difficulty adjusting to the different zones of the lens initially. Additionally, certain eye conditions might not be suitable for progressive lenses.
