Adjusting to Progressive Multifocals


Old-fashioned bifocals and trifocals have been a common remedy for close vision problems. However, their annoying segmentation and unsightly lines present unnatural optical limitations and ruin the look of stylish eyewear.

Progressive lenses provide you with the most natural vision possible. Historically, bifocals and trifocals have had a visible line between the upper distance and the lower reading sections. While progressive lenses are somewhat more expensive, they offer a unique fuller range of vision and youthful appearance, making them attractive to many patients.

Progressive lenses, as with all multi-focal lenses, require an initial period of training and adjustment for the first-time wearer.

Our Optical staff is available to assist our patients requiring multifocal lenses during their transition time. An appointment is not necessary.
