Progressive vs Multifocal Lenses

Multifocal lenses are lenses designed to provide more than one optical power. Progressive lenses are one type of multifocal lens, using a gradual change in power from distance through intermediate to near vision.

Other multifocal designs include bifocal and trifocal lenses, which use separate viewing segments. Progressive lenses differ because they do not have a visible line separating the zones.

Why Design Matters

The choice among multifocal designs depends on prescription, lifestyle, visual priorities, and personal preference. Someone who needs clearly defined distance and reading areas may like bifocals, while someone who wants a gradual transition may prefer progressives.

Accurate measurements and a good frame fit are important for progressive lenses. Consult your eye-care professional if you are unsure which multifocal design is right for you.
