Progressive vs Bifocal Lenses: What's the Difference?

Progressive and bifocal lenses both provide more than one optical power, but their designs are different. Bifocals traditionally have a distinct distance area and a separate near segment. Progressive lenses change power gradually, providing distance, intermediate, and near viewing zones.

The lack of a visible segment line is one reason people choose progressives. They can also provide intermediate vision, which may be useful for computer work. Bifocals can feel more straightforward because their distance and near zones are clearly defined.

Which Is Better?

There is no universal winner. People who need mainly distance and reading correction may prefer bifocals, while people who want multiple viewing distances in one lens may prefer progressives. Lifestyle, prescription, frame fit, and personal adaptation all influence the decision.
