How Do Progressive Lenses Work?
Progressive lenses incorporate multiple lens powers within a single lens, enabling the wearer to see clearly across all distances.
They achieve this by incorporating multiple lens powers within a single lens. The top portion of the lens is crafted for distance vision, ideal for driving or looking at objects far away. As you move your gaze downwards, the lens power gradually changes, transitioning to the intermediate zone, which is perfect for tasks like working on a computer. Finally, the bottom portion of the lens is optimised for near vision, making reading comfortable.
Types of Progressive Lenses
There are various types of progressive lenses available in Singapore, each tailored to specific vision needs:
