What progressive lenses do
Progressive lenses are a type of multifocal eyewear designed to address presbyopia, a condition that typically develops with age and affects the ability to focus on close-up objects. Unlike traditional bifocals or trifocals, progressive lenses provide a seamless transition between multiple prescriptions within a single lens. They have no visible lines, offering a more natural visual experience.
Three zones in one lens
The lens is divided into different zones, each designed for a specific distance:
- TopDistance vision
- MiddleIntermediate vision, such as computer work
- BottomNear vision, such as reading
This smooth gradient allows wearers to shift focus without the abrupt changes found in older styles of multifocal lenses, resulting in a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing solution for people experiencing presbyopia.
