Progressive vs Reading Glasses: What's the Difference?

Reading glasses are designed primarily for close-up tasks, while progressive lenses provide multiple viewing distances in one prescription. Readers can be convenient for occasional reading, but they may not correct distance vision or provide an intermediate computer zone.

Progressive lenses gradually change optical power across the lens. This lets wearers look through different areas for distance, intermediate, and near tasks without changing glasses.

Which One Fits Your Routine?

If you only need help reading small print, readers may be sufficient. If you need correction throughout the day, progressives can be more convenient. A prescription evaluation can help identify the correction you actually need.

When ordering progressive glasses, accurate prescription details and measurements are especially important because the lens zones need to align with your eyes and frame.
