What are Progressive Lenses?

Progressive and bifocal lenses are different. Progressives offer a smooth transition across multiple focal points (distance, intermediate, and near) and are more commonly used, while bifocals have two distinct optical powers (distance and near).

If you're unsure which lens type you need, please contact your eye doctor to confirm whether progressives or bifocals are right for your eyewear journey.

FAQ

  • What are Progressive Lenses, and how do I know if they are for me?

    If your glasses prescription includes an 'ADD' field, you've been prescribed a multifocal lens by your eye doctor. There are two types of multifocal lenses: Progressives and Bifocals.

    Progressive lenses offer a smooth transition across multiple focal points—distance, intermediate, and near—without visible lines. This makes them ideal for individuals who need vision correction for all distances. Progressives provide a more natural experience, eliminating the abrupt changes between viewing areas that bifocal lenses have.

    Progressives are commonly worn by those with presbyopia or anyone who needs correction across a range of distances. If you're unsure whether progressives are right for you, please contact your eye doctor to confirm.

  • How do Progressive Lenses work?

    Progressive lenses have multiple powers within the lens, allowing for a smooth transition from distance vision at the top to intermediate in the middle and near vision at the bottom. This design helps you see clearly at all distances without the need for visible lines or switching glasses.

  • What is the difference between the Essential and Performance Progressive Collections?

    The Essential Progressive Collection focuses on providing reliable, everyday vision solutions for the most typical use cases. The Performance Progressive Collection, on the other hand, is designed for more specialized needs. These lenses are optimized for specific activities such as driving, sports, or extended mobile device use. They offer enhanced features tailored to active or task-specific lifestyles, delivering performance-driven vision solutions.

  • What are the limitations of Progressives?

    While progressives offer a smooth transition between near, intermediate, and distance vision, some people may initially find it challenging to adapt to the progressive zones. Additionally, the narrower intermediate or reading areas in some designs can be a limitation for tasks requiring prolonged close-up focus, such as computer work or detailed crafting. This is why Payne offers multiple design options to address different use cases, and with our pricing, you are not limited to a single pair.

  • Is the Everyday Best Progressive a premium or standard design?

    At Payne, we are committed to offering top-tier glasses at exceptional value. The Everyday Best Progressive lens exemplifies this commitment. We’ve upgraded our core standard design with cutting-edge digital enhancements that expand viewing areas by up to 40% and boost clarity to 4K resolution. If you're accustomed to our Standard Progressive from previous orders, rest assured that the foundational design hasn't changed—it's simply been optimized for a better experience. These enhancements elevate the lens to a Premium Progressive Design, certified by our German manufacturer. Unlike many competitors who charge extra for these optimizations, we’ve maintained our everyday pricing.

  • Does Payne still offer the Standard Progressive I purchased in the past?

    Yes, we’ve kept the foundational design of our Standard Progressive unchanged. However, we've enhanced it with advanced digital upgrades that expand viewing areas by up to 40% and increase clarity to 4K resolution. While the core design remains familiar, these optimizations now qualify the lens as a Premium Progressive Design, certified by our German manufacturer. You’ll enjoy the same comfort and functionality but with improved performance—at no extra cost, as we've maintained our everyday pricing.

  • Does Payne offer a Premium Progressive lens option?

    Yes! At Payne, our Everyday Best Progressive lens is classified as a Premium Progressive Design. We've enhanced our standard lens with digital upgrades that provide up to 40% wider viewing areas and 4K resolution for sharper clarity. Certified by our German manufacturing partner, this lens delivers premium performance without an upgrade fee— offering you the best value and advanced technology at our everyday price.

  • What Progressive Lens is best for everyday general wear?
