Choosing the right eyeglass lenses is essential for clear vision and comfort. Here’s a guide to the different types of lenses available:

Single Vision Lenses

• 🔹 Designed to correct vision for one specific distance: near, intermediate, or far.
• 🔹 Ideal for nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism.

Bifocal Lenses

Feature two distinct sections:

• 🔹 The upper part for distance vision.
• 🔹 The lower part for near vision. *Best for people with presbyopia who also need distance correction.

Trifocal Lenses

Contain three sections:

• 🔹 Distance vision (top)
• 🔹 Intermediate vision (middle)
• 🔹 Near vision (bottom) *Great for those who need correction at all three distances.

Progressive Lenses (No-Line Bifocals)

• 🔹 Provide a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision without visible lines.
• 🔹 Offer a more natural viewing experience compared to bifocals and trifocals.

• 🔹 Help minimize eye strain, headaches, and improve sleep quality.
