What Are Progressive Lenses

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.

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.
