A tried-and-true solution for clear distance and reading vision.
Bifocal lenses feature two distinct prescription zones — distance correction on the upper portion and near vision on the lower portion, separated by a visible line. They are a proven, time-tested solution for presbyopia, the natural age-related loss of near focusing ability that typically begins in your early to mid-forties.
Many people find bifocals easy to adapt to because the clear delineation between zones makes it simple to know exactly where to look. Glance straight ahead for distance tasks like driving or watching TV, and drop your gaze below the line for reading, texting, or other close-up work. There is no guesswork involved.
Bifocals remain one of the most cost-effective multifocal options available. At Fantastic Glasses we fit bifocal lenses in a wide range of frame styles and materials, and we take the time to measure segment height precisely so your near zone sits exactly where you need it. Your prescription is determined using our free Essilor R800 eye test — the most accurate eye test in the world. Prefer a line-free alternative? Explore our progressive lenses.
