Bifocals are lenses with two distinct viewing areas to help you see clearly at both distance and near ranges. These lenses are available with either a visible line or a lineless option, depending on your preference.
Whether you have had trouble adapting to progressives, are an experienced bifocal lens wearer, or your child has been prescribed bifocals by your eye doctor, we've got you covered.
Bifocals and progressive lenses are different. Bifocals have two distinct optical powers (distance and near). Progressives offer a smooth transition across multiple focal points (distance, intermediate, and near) and are more commonly used.

The Round Lineless Bifocal corrects both near and far distances with two separate viewing areas, offering a seamless look without a visible line, ideal for those seeking a cosmetic upgrade from the classic Flat Top 28.
The Wide Lineless Bifocal corrects both near and far distances with two separate viewing areas, offering a seamless look without a visible line.

If you have an "ADD" field on your glasses prescription, you have been prescribed a multifocal lens by your eye doctor.
There are two types of multifocal lenses: Bifocals and Progressives.
Bifocal lenses have two distinct viewing areas, one for distance vision and one for near vision. They are available with either a visible line or a lineless option. Progressives, on the other hand, offer a smooth transition across multiple focal points (distance, intermediate, and near) without visible lines.
Bifocals are ideal for people who need vision correction for both near and far distances. They are commonly worn by those who have had trouble adapting to progressives, experienced bifocal lens wearers, or children who have been prescribed bifocals by their eye doctor.
If you're unsure which type you need, please contact your eye doctor to confirm if you need progressives or bifocals to proceed confidently with your eyewear purchase.
How do Bifocal Lenses work?
What is the difference between Lined and Lineless Bifocals ?
What is the difference between Bifocals and Progressives ?
Multifocal lenses are commonly prescribed for individuals with presbyopia (age-related weakening of the eyes' focusing ability) or children with accommodative difficulties. They provide multiple powers in one lens to address the need for vision at multiple distances. There are two multifocal lens types that address the need for multiple prescription powers in one pair of glasses:
Bifocals: These lenses have two distinct viewing areas, one for distance vision and one for near vision. They are available with either a visible line or a lineless option. Bifocals are ideal for people who need vision correction for both near and far distances, such as those who have had trouble adapting to progressives, experienced bifocal lens wearers, or children who have been prescribed bifocals by their eye doctor.
Progressives: These lenses offer a smooth transition across multiple focal points (distance, intermediate, and near) without visible lines. Progressives are more commonly used and provide a seamless look, making them suitable for those who prefer not to have visible lines on their lenses.
