Bifocal vs Single Vision Glasses

Single vision lenses provide one prescription power across the lens. Bifocal lenses combine distance and near powers, making them useful for people who need correction at two different distances. The right design depends on your prescription and everyday visual requirements.

Someone who only needs distance correction may be comfortable with single vision glasses. Someone who needs distance correction plus an added near prescription may find bifocals more convenient than switching between separate pairs.

Daily Convenience

Bifocals can reduce the need to carry reading glasses when you regularly move between distance and close tasks. You can look through the appropriate portion of the lens for the activity. There is a learning period for some wearers, particularly when changing gaze between the two zones.

Frame fit is also important. The lens needs to sit correctly so the near segment is positioned where expected. When ordering online, carefully follow measurement instructions and provide the correct prescription.
