SINGLE VISION LENSES

Single vision lenses are prescribed for specific vision problems such as astigmatism, nearsightedness, or farsightedness. They provide clear vision at specific distances and are perfect for activities such as driving, reading, or working at a computer. 

This type of lens is recommended for correcting refractive errors in people of all ages, from teenagers to seniors. They can be customized to meet your individual vision needs, no matter what stage of life you're in. Single vision lenses are a simple and straightforward option, with no additional complexities beyond the uniform prescription. You'll be pleased to know that single vision lenses are also more wallet-friendly than bifocal or progressive lenses.

Bifocal Lenses

Bifocal lenses are a convenient solution for people who need both distance and near vision correction. The top portion of the lens is usually adjusted for distance vision, while the bottom portion has an additional segment, called the "reading" or "near" segment, which corrects for near vision. 

The division between the distance and near segments is visible as a distinct line on the lens. This line acts as a visual guide, allowing users to quickly and easily shift their gaze between near and far objects. Bifocal lenses are also versatile and can be customized to meet individual needs. The size, shape, and position of the near segment can be adjusted based on the specific visual needs and preferences of the wearer.

Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses, also known as multifocal lenses, are a type of eyeglass lenses that provide a seamless progression of multiple vision corrections in a single lens. They are designed to correct vision at different distances, including near, intermediate and far, without the visible lines typically found in bifocal or trifocal lenses. 

They are a perfect solution for activities such as driving (far distance), computer work (intermediate distance), and reading or other close-up tasks (near distance). The lens design allows for a wide range of vision without the need to switch between multiple pairs of glasses. 

Progressive lenses can be customized to fit the wearer's individual needs and visual requirements. Factors such as frame choice, lens material, and specific vision measurements can be taken into account during the lens manufacturing process, ensuring a personalized fit and optimal vision correction.
