Flat-Top vs Round-Segment Bifocal Lenses

Flat-top and round-segment bifocals are traditional lens designs that provide a separate near viewing area. The main difference is the shape of the segment. Flat-top designs have a straight upper edge, while round segments have a curved shape.

Flat-Top Bifocals

Flat-top segments are common and provide a broad, clearly defined near area. Their straight line makes the transition between distance and near easy to identify.

Round-Segment Bifocals

Round segments have a curved boundary and represent another traditional approach. The visual experience can vary by wearer, prescription and frame.

Neither shape is automatically best for every person. Your prescription, visual habits, frame and personal preference should guide the decision. Ask your eye-care professional or lens provider about compatibility.
