Have you been having trouble seeing distant and nearby objects? If yes, you might have both farsightedness and nearsightedness. And you will need prescription glasses that allow you to see at both distances efficiently. You can either get single glasses for both visions or get bifocal lenses with varying strengths to see both distances efficiently. However, people feel as though lined bifocals or trifocals are unattractive or distracting. And constantly putting on or taking off reading glasses, or switching between glasses for distance and near work, is exhausting. Luckily, there is a multifocal option for glasses wearers that can be worn all the time to provide clear vision at all distances without the noticeable line of a traditional bifocal. These are also known as progressive glasses because unlike the traditional bifocal glasses, no-line bifocal reading glasses don’t have a separating line on the lens.
Can I get no-line bifocal reading glasses?
Yes, you can get the glasses with no-line bifocals. Also, they’re excellent for correcting presbyopia symptoms. Progressive lenses, also commonly called no-line bifocals, are an effective solution that can discreetly and seamlessly give you a wide range of vision. While bifocal lenses cover two prescriptions, it makes more sense to call progressive lenses can handle three prescriptions so it makes more sense to call them no-line multifocals instead of bifocals. Progressive glasses can be worn all the time to provide clear vision at all distances without the noticeable line of a traditional bifocal so that you don't need to constantly put on or take off reading glasses, or switch between glasses for distance and near work.
Advantages of Progressive Lenses vs. Bifocal Lenses
Progressive lenses provide a more natural correction of presbyopia than bifocals or trifocals. They are considered "multifocals" because there is a seamless progression from distance to near with an intermediate section in between. This provides many focal points in order to satisfy almost any visual need. There is a corridor that runs vertically down the middle of the lens and measurements will be taken to fit the corridor in the right place so all powers can be accessed comfortably. With progressive lenses, you can look up to see clearly across the room or down the street while driving. You can also look ahead to see your computer or someone sitting across the dinner table through the intermediate section. If you drop your gaze downward, you can read fine print comfortably through the bottom of the lens.
How to Adjust to Progressive Lenses?
No-lined bifocal reading glasses can provide many benefits, but it may also take some time to adjust to the new lens design. Like any lens, new prescription powers can a few weeks to get used to. Give yourself at least two weeks with your new progressive lenses to adapt. Try to wear the lenses full-time, and avoid wearing your old prescription while you’re adapting to the new lens design. Another important aspect of progressive lenses to know is that in order to fit all three prescriptions into one lens, the lens manufacturers must create mild distortions in the far peripheral edges of the lens. This means that it is important to avoid moving your eyes to the side of the lens. To do this, point your nose towards the objects you are looking at rather than scanning your eyes to the side of your lenses.
