GET IT ALL WITH PROGRESSIVE LENSES

No matter how great those new, perfectly–you, designer eyeglasses look, rocking a bifocal line, or switching back and forth between two pairs of glasses, can make you feel older. Today’s lineless bifocals and progressives give you a single, stylish solution so you can see clearly at three ranges: close, mid, and far away.

HOW DO PROGRESSIVE LENSES WORK?

A progressive lens gives you three vision powers in one seamless lens for a more natural and flattering way to see your world. If you need more than one lens strength to read, do computer work or drive, progressives let you can see clearly at any distance with one pair of glasses. You simply adjust your head position to see three ranges of distance. Bring your head up to see far away; look straight ahead for mid-range vision, and point your nose down to read or do close-up work, like texting.

The exclusive AccuFit™ Digital Measurement System will take a precise
measurement of your eyes to make sure your progressive lenses are
placed accurately in the frame.

ADJUSTING TO PROGRESSIVE LENSES

Like anything new, adjusting to progressives can be frustrating, but don’t worry. Here are a few tips that’ll have you seeing clearly all the time, at every distance, with one pair of glasses.

• Resist the temptation to switch back and forth to your old glasses—this slows down the process of retraining your brain to focus through new lenses. •Wear your glasses high on your nose, and close to your eyes to maximize the range of visibility through each lens. • Move your head, not your eyes. Point your nose directly at what you’d like to see and bring it into focus by moving your chin up or down. • Practice! Grab a magazine to read while watching TV. Going back and forth between the two is a great way to practice and to speed up your transition.

Check out our video on multi-focal glasses for more insight on how to make the switch. Watch now.

PROGRESSIVE LENSES SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE

There are many types of progressive lenses depending on your vision needs. Look for lenses like the LC HD Enhanced View Progressive to give you edge-to-edge clarity and optimize your prescription from the optical center to the edges of the lens. This is also a great option for multifocal wearers and those with strong prescriptions. And they just happen to be the easiest progressives to get used to. Thought your prescription limited your frame selection? Progressive lenses fit in any frame just like single vision.

Don’t let multi-focal vision cramp your style. You no longer have to be caught peering over bifocals, or switching out two pairs of glasses. With progressive lenses, you can see your entire world in a crisp, clear, seamless way. One pair of eyeglasses can do it all.
