Progressive lenses, Progressive glasses and Progressive eyewear for people aged 40 and above
Progressive lenses, also known as progressive glasses, are seamless multi-focal lenses that cover all vision distances in a single lens. Progressive lenses are divided into zones for different distances, including distance vision, intermediate vision, near vision, and peripheral vision. This design provides clear and natural vision without the need to switch glasses or use multiple pairs. Additionally, modern technology allows for the customization of the lens structure to fit individual needs when crafting progressive lenses.
When should you use progressive lenses?
- Difficulty seeing objects clearly at both distant and close ranges
- Having had clear distance vision for years, but suddenly finding it hard to see near objects clearly, even while wearing glasses
- Problems often begin around the age of 40 and older
How many types of progressive lens structures are there?
Progressive glasses are categorized into three types based on their vision zones: distance vision zone, intermediate vision zone, near vision zone, and peripheral zones.
-
1. Distance Vision Zone
Located at the top of the progressive lens, the distance vision zone allows for clear vision of distant objects when the wearer looks upward through the lens. Examples of activities include:
- Watching TV
- Driving
-
2. Intermediate Vision Zone
Located in the middle of the progressive lens, the intermediate vision zone provides clear vision for objects at an intermediate distance when the wearer looks through the central part of the lens. Examples of activities include:
- Viewing a computer screen
- Looking at the dashboard in a car
-
3. Near Vision Zone
Located at the bottom of the progressive lens, the near vision zone allows for clear vision of close objects when the wearer looks downward through the lens. Examples of activities include:
- Reading a book
- Looking at a mobile phone
