What are progressive lenses?

Progressive lenses offer a practical solution, providing clear vision across varying distances.

As we age, typically around 40, the lens in the eye loses flexibility, resulting in difficulty focusing on close-up objects—a condition known as presbyopia. Reading glasses or multifocal lenses, also called progressive lenses, are commonly prescribed to address this issue.

With a seamless transition of power, multifocal lenses enable sharp vision for distance, intermediate, and near objects, all in one pair of glasses.

CONVENTIONAL VS DIGITAL PROGRESSIVE LENSES

Digital progressive lenses and conventional progressive lenses both correct vision at multiple distances, but they differ in their manufacturing process and optical performance.

Conventional Progressive Lenses:

1. Manufacturing: Conventional progressive lenses are manufactured using traditional methods, where the lens surface is ground and polished to create the progressive prescription.
2. Design: Conventional progressive lenses have a fixed design that is based on standard measurements and calculations. The lens design is the same for every wearer, regardless of their specific visual needs.
3. Optical Performance: Conventional progressive lenses may have limitations in optical performance, particularly in peripheral vision and the transition zones between different prescription powers. Some wearers may experience distortions or a narrower field of clear vision.

Digital Progressive Lenses:

1. Manufacturing: Digital progressive lenses are manufactured using advanced digital technology, where the lens design is customized and optimized for each wearer’s individual prescription and frame parameters.
2. Design: Digital progressive lenses have a personalized design that takes into account factors such as the wearer’s prescription, frame dimensions, and visual habits. This customization results in a more precise and accurate lens profile.
3. Optical Performance: Digital progressive lenses offer superior optical performance compared to conventional lenses. They provide wider and smoother transition zones between different prescription powers, minimizing distortions and maximizing the field of clear vision. Wearers typically experience enhanced visual comfort and adaptability with digital progressive lenses.

Overall, while both types of lenses serve the same purpose of correcting vision at multiple distances, digital progressive lenses offer advanced customization and superior optical performance compared to conventional progressive lenses.
