Why More Choose Progressive Lenses

By Brandon Powers


For those over 40 who are experiencing a rapid decline in the ability to read fine print with regular glasses, progressive lenses serves as an alternative to improve vision. The modern lens is considered to be more aesthetic than its previous counterparts and more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. The bifocals and trifocals are being replaced with the lighter and versatile progressive lens range.

The latest technology allows for the correction of eye conditions such as Presbyopia offering a modern and natural appeal. Otherwise referred to as multifocal, it offers a number of benefits over bifocals and trifocals. The technology allows for a smooth progression of the power of a lens to view all distances.

If you are experiencing difficulty in the ability to view various objects over distances, it requires treatment for enhanced acuity. The lens consists of an intermediate zone that allows for the viewing of different images including fine print and computer screens. The correct prescription can assist in supporting the needs of all affected patients.

The multifocal lens has been designed to offer three viewing zones. The first zone is distance located on the upper lens that allows for clarity when viewing different objects over an extended distance. The intermediate is best for engaging with others or viewing a computer screen. The near zone offers clearer images when viewed in close proximity.

Image jump is described when wearing bifocals and trifocals. The use of multifocals allows for a decrease in this problem and provides greater comfort for those who experience disturbances with other types of eyeglasses. There is less pressure placed on the eyes and improvements in natural visual adjustments.

Progressive lenses allow for the ability to view different objects over a considerable distance without disturbance. It is regarded a beneficial option for those who are struggling with related conditions. Your eye care provider can assist in recommending the most suitable designs and fit for individual visual needs.
