Progressive Lenses vs Bifocals for Driving

Driving requires clear distance vision, but many drivers also need help with dashboard displays and other intermediate tasks. Progressive and bifocal lenses can both provide multiple powers, but their designs differ.

Bifocals have distinct distance and near areas, while progressives transition gradually and include an intermediate region. Some drivers may appreciate the additional intermediate area of a progressive design, but lens choice should always be based on the individual's prescription and visual requirements.

Driving Considerations

Make sure your prescription is current and your glasses fit securely. If you have difficulty seeing road signs, dashboard information, or changing light conditions, discuss it with your eye-care professional.

New progressive wearers should become comfortable with their lenses before relying on them for demanding driving situations. Never drive if your vision is unclear or uncomfortable.
