Bifocal vs Progressive: Which Is Better for Seniors?

Both bifocal and progressive lenses can help people who need more than one prescription power, but they provide different viewing experiences. Bifocals have distinct distance and near zones, while progressives gradually change power across the lens.

Seniors who prefer a clear, defined near segment may appreciate bifocals. The design can be straightforward once the wearer becomes familiar with the two zones. Progressives may appeal to people who want distance, intermediate and near vision without a visible line.

Daily Activities Matter

Consider reading, walking, driving, television, cooking and computer use. If intermediate vision is important, discuss it with an eye-care professional before choosing a standard bifocal.

There is no universal winner. The best lens depends on prescription, comfort, visual habits and personal preference.
