Single vision or progressive lenses: how to choose?

Single-vision lenses

They correct one distance: far OR near. Most people under 40 only need single-vision lenses. If your job involves lots of screen time, ask about a computer-dedicated lens — see our specialty lenses page.

Progressive lenses

From age 40–45, the eye loses its ability to focus up close (presbyopia). Progressive lenses combine in one lens: - Distance vision (top) - Intermediate vision (middle) - Near vision (bottom)

No visible line, unlike bifocals. A few days of adaptation is normal.
