Single Vision Lenses: This lens type is most often prescribed for correction of a single field of vision. Single vision lenses have one prescription across the entirety of the lens.

Progressive Lenses: With progressive lenses, patients see a smooth transition from distance correction to near correction, without the need to swap out glasses or peer over the rim of the glasses. Also known as invisible bifocals or no-line bifocals, progressive lenses provide individuals with the ability to see at all distances through one pair of eyeglasses.

Bifocal Lenses: Unlike progressive lenses, lined bifocals have a visible segment. The top segment of the eyeglasses will be for distance vision and the lower portion will be for near vision. It’s important to discuss which type of lens is best for your lifestyle; progressive lenses or bifocal lenses.

As mentioned, the greatest way to determine the best type of eyeglass lenses for you is to discuss selections with your Scottsdale Eye Optical Boutique, Optician.   With the variety in types of lenses as well as lens design and technology, it’s important to spend time in making your decision.
