Can You Drive With Bifocal Glasses?

Many people wear bifocal glasses while driving, but suitability depends on the individual's prescription, visual acuity and applicable driving requirements. The distance portion of a traditional bifocal is generally designed for looking ahead, while the lower segment supports close tasks.

What Drivers Should Check

Make sure your prescription is current and that you can comfortably see road signs, traffic conditions and mirrors. If your glasses cause difficulty when switching between viewing distances, discuss the issue with an eye-care professional.

Frame fit also matters. Glasses that slide can change the position of the bifocal segment and make the viewing experience less predictable.

Do not rely on glasses alone if you experience sudden vision changes, glare problems or other symptoms. Have your eyes examined when needed.
