Progressive lenses, sometimes referred to as "noline bifocals," not only provide visual correction for distances that traditional bifocals can't, but they also hide the fact that you even need reading glasses. No one else has to kno-w -whether you're sporting a pair of glasses just for fashion — or because your arms have "gro-wn too short" to allo-w you to see up close.

Progressive lenses is the closest to ho-w natural vision is (before the onset of presbyopia) that you can get in a pair of eyesglasses. They is more than just a defined near and distance correction in one lens. Rather, progressives provide a smooth transition from distance through intermediate to near, -with all the inbet-ween corrections included as -well. This constant graduation of the prescription means that you can look up to see in the distance, look ahead to vie-w things such as the computer in the intermediate zone, and drop your gaze do-wn-ward to read and do fine -work comfortably close up.

You get the best vision through the lens -when looking directly at the object of focus. There is a "corridor" of optimum vision that runs vertically do-wn each lens. Your eyes cis practitioner -will measure both eyess in relation to the position of the frame in order to place the corridor in just the right location for you. So you'll get the best vision -when you point your nose directly at -whatever you -want to see.
