    What Are Progressive Lenses?

    Progressives ( or multifocals, no-line bifocals ) are essentially three prescriptions in one lens so you get a clear view at multiple ranges: distance, mid-range and near with no visible line on the lens. Although you get the benefit of having no line in your lenses, progressives will have areas of distortion on either side of the lens.

Choosing Your Frames

    Choosing Your Frames

    Set yourself up for success in your new progressive glasses

    Set yourself up for success in your new progressive glasses. Frames with the right lens height and width ensure space for all vision zones, providing clear and comfortable vision. Most average-sized frames work best, as oversized are usually less ideal. Frames shouldn't be so tall that they make it harder for your eyes to smoothly access the near-vision areas, or so wide that they increase blurriness in the side areas of your mid and near vision.

    To make your search easier, use the "Prescription" filter at the top of our glasses frames page.
    Under "Progressive/Bifocal," you'll find two options:

    Recommended: Perfect for new progressive wearers, these frames are carefully selected to ensure an optimal vision experience.

    Supported: While these frames work with progressive lenses, their dimensions may not provide the same level of comfort or ease of use, particularly for first-time wearers

    For the best results, we advise new progressive wearers to select frames from the "Recommended" category to ensure a smooth adaptation and superior vision.
