Progressive Reading Glasses

Progressive reading glasses, also known as no-line bifocals, progressive addition lenses (PALs), multifocal, or varifocal glasses, offer different prescriptions within the same lens. They are designed to correct vision at multiple distances, typically catering to near, intermediate, and distance vision.

The lenses progress from the distance to the reading, resulting in the top portion of progressive lens providing clear distant vision, the center providing intermediate vision, and the bottom portion providing near/reading vision. The power changes gradually from top to bottom rather than having a visible dividing line. This allows the wearer to seamlessly transition their focus between distances.

Individuals experiencing presbyopia, a common age-related condition where the eye loses its ability to focus on nearby objects, can benefit. They're useful for those needing varying prescriptions for different tasks without switching glasses.They allow smooth focusing for things like computer work, reading, and seeing far away.

They can be more expensive than standard single-vision glasses due to their multifocal nature and customization. Prices vary based on the brand, lens type, and additional features.
