Can Bifocal Glasses Correct Myopia and Presbyopia?

Bifocal glasses can combine distance correction for conditions such as myopia with an additional near prescription for presbyopia. This allows one pair of glasses to provide two optical powers instead of requiring separate distance and reading glasses.

The exact prescription depends on the individual. Myopia correction is represented in the distance prescription, while the near addition supplies extra power for close work. Both should be determined during an eye examination.

What to Consider

Think about your typical activities. Bifocals can be convenient when you frequently switch between seeing far away and reading. If you use a computer at an intermediate distance for many hours, tell your eye-care professional because another lens design may be more suitable.

Frame fit and lens positioning also matter. A properly fitted frame helps keep the two viewing zones in the expected location.
