Bifocal vs Progressive: How to Decide What’s Best

What are Bifocals? Bifocal glasses are glasses that contain two different lens powers in one or both lenses. You can even get sunglasses with bifocals & bifocal transition lenses! Types of Bifocal Lenses Bifocal lenses can come in several different types, which include...

Flat-top: On the side of a flattop bifocal is a little piece shaped like a half moon or the letter "D." It's on the inside of the nose. Blended: Prior to the development of noline bifocals, blended bifocals were common. Executive: An executive bifocal is a line bifocal in which the top half and bottom half of the lens are totally split by a visible lens that reaches all the way across the lens.

What are Progressive lenses? Progressive lenses are essentially "No line bifocals".

There are three major differences.

Progressive lenses provide clear vision at all distances, whereas bifocals only correct eyesight for two distinct fields of vision. Bifocals have a typical design with lines between the fields of vision, whereas progressive lenses have no visible lines and allow seamless lens transitions, which is a selling point for many.

Progressive lenses are more expensive than simple bifocals from a financial standpoint. Progressive lenses easily change between near and far prescriptions. In bifocal lenses, however, a distinct line separates near and far vision. When deciding which sort of lens is appropriate for you, think about your lifestyle and personal preferences.
