Customers often inquire about the difference between single vision lenses and progressive lenses, here is how they are different:
Progressive Lenses:
1. Multiple Prescriptions in One Lens: Progressive lenses provide a seamless transition between multiple prescriptions, typically for near, intermediate, and distance vision.
2. No Visible Lines: Unlike bifocal lenses, progressives do not have visible lines separating the different prescription zones, giving a more natural look.
3. Gradual Transition: The change in prescription is gradual from the top to the bottom of the lens, allowing for a smoother visual experience.
4. Versatility: Ideal for individuals who need correction for more than one field of vision (e.g., both reading and distance).
Single Vision Lenses:
1. One Prescription Per Lens: Single vision lenses are designed to correct vision at one distance only, either for near (reading), computer or distance vision.
2. No Transition Zones: These lenses have a consistent prescription throughout the entire lens, with no gradient or multiple prescription zones.
3. Simplicity: They are straightforward and easier to adapt to compared to multifocal lenses.
4. Ideal for Specific Vision Needs: Best suited for individuals who need correction for only one type of vision.
