Progressives FAQ

What are premium progressive lenses?

Premium progressive lenses are high-quality multifocal eyeglass lenses designed to provide a comfortable and enhanced visual experience. They are often customized to individual needs and crafted with advanced technology to offer superior vision correction for presbyopia.

What are the differences between progressive lenses and bifocals?

Bifocals feature two viewing zones separated by a visible line for distance and reading. Progressive lenses offer a seamless transition between three zones—distance, intermediate, and near vision—without visible lines, for a more natural visual experience. Read more on our blog.

Premium progressive lenses offer better optical quality, wider fields of vision, and reduced peripheral distortion compared to standard progressive lenses. They are often tailored to the wearer's unique prescription and lifestyle, resulting in a more personalized and comfortable vision correction solution.

How do premium progressive lenses work?

Premium progressive lenses work similarly to standard progressive lenses by incorporating multiple prescription strengths into a single lens. However, premium lenses use advanced designs and manufacturing processes to minimize distortion and provide clearer vision across all distances.

  • Up to a 40% wider viewing area
