What Are Progressive Lenses?
Progressive lenses are multifocal lenses that allow for a seamless transition between different focal points, such as near, intermediate, and far distances. Unlike bifocal lenses, which have a visible line, progressive lenses offer a smooth transition between prescriptions, promoting a natural visual experience. They are ideal for individuals with presbyopia or those who require corrective lenses for multiple distances.

Frequently Asked Questions About Progressive Lenses
What are the brands available for progressive lenses?
At Kacee Eyecare, we offer a selection of progressive lenses from trusted brands. Our experienced optometrists will assess your vision needs and discuss your lifestyle to recommend suitable lenses
Who should wear progressive lenses?
Anyone experiencing presbyopia can benefit from progressive lenses. They are also beneficial for individuals who need correction for multiple focal points, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. If you find yourself constantly switching between reading glasses and distance glasses, you can consider getting progressive lenses.
How long does it take to adjust to progressive lenses?
It might take time to get used to progressive lenses. You may need practice in adapting to using the different areas of the lenses and seeing different distances. During your adjustment period, you might experience feelings of dizziness or distortion in your vision. Getting used to your lenses will take a week or two, but when you do, the dizziness and vision distortion will diminish over time.
Can children or teenagers wear progressive lenses?
While progressive lenses are generally recommended for adults with presbyopia, they can be recommended for young individuals with specific vision needs.
Are progressive lenses hard to get used to?
The adjustment period may vary from person to person. Some people may experience a short adjustment period, while others may need more time to get used to it. But progressive lenses are designed to provide a natural transition across different focal points.
How should I care for my progressive lenses?
Caring for your progressive lenses is crucial to maintain their clarity and longevity, ensuring you enjoy optimal vision for years to come. Here's a breakdown of how to keep them in top condition:
- Daily Cleaning: Make it a habit to clean your lenses every day with a microfibre cloth and lens cleaner specifically designed for eyeglasses. This removes dust, smudges, and oils that can accumulate and affect your vision.
- Safe Storage: When you're not wearing your glasses, store them in a protective case. This prevents accidental scratches and protects the lenses from dust and other potential damage.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don't leave your glasses in direct sunlight or hot environments, such as a car dashboard, as excessive heat can warp the frames or damage the lens coatings.
Do progressive lenses work for all activities?
Yes, progressive lenses are versatile and suitable for most activities, including reading, driving, and screen use. But while progressive lenses are suitable for most activities, certain tasks, such as piloting an aircraft or playing certain sports, may require specific lens designs.Â
Discuss your lifestyle and activities with your eye care professional to ensure progressive lenses are the right choice for you.
What should I do if I feel discomfort with my progressive lenses?
You may experience some initial discomfort when first wearing progressive lenses. However, if the discomfort persists, it's important to revisit your optometrist.
How are progressive lenses measured for my prescription?
Progressive lenses are custom-fitted by measuring the distance between your pupils and ensuring precise alignment with your eyes.
Are progressive lenses more expensive than single-vision lenses?
Yes, progressive lenses tend to be more expensive due to their complex lens designs and customisation required. Lens materials, such as polycarbonate or high-index lenses, are also used, which could add to the price of your progressive lenses.
Can I get progressive lenses with an anti-reflective coating?
Yes, progressive lenses can be customised with an anti-reflective coating, which can be beneficial for protecting your eyes from glares. This coating can also help with visual clarity and comfort, especially when driving at night or working in bright environments.
Will I see clearly at all distances with progressive lenses?
Yes, progressive lenses are designed to provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. The progressive lens design seamlessly blends these different vision zones, allowing for a smooth and natural transition between distances.
