| Perfect if you need your glasses for one specific daily task (driving or reading). They contain your single prescription across the entire lens, so wherever you look, you will have the same power. You can select between three types: Distance (far): Lenses for TV watching, driving & general use. Computer (intermediate): Lenses for work at arm's length. Reading (Near): For close work or reading text. Learn more here |
Bifocal lenses are created for both near and far vision. Perfect if you want to see at the two distances with one single pair of glasses. They are characterised by having a visible reading section at the bottom of the lens. The top half of the lens is for distance vision. Our bifocal lenses are D28 Flat Tops, which are the most used bifocals at present. These have a reading segment shaped like a "D", with the flat edge of the D facing up. Learn more here |
Varifocal lenses allow the wearer to focus on things near, far and all distances inbetween. They offer a smooth progression (with no visible lines on the lenses) from long distance vision at the top of the lens, through intermediate vision at the center of the lenses and down to the reading section at the bottom. If required, your optician will most likely have advised you to try varifocal glasses at the time of your last eye test. Learn more here |
