At Hip Optical, we believe clear vision shouldn’t be a compromise. Whether you're reading a book or focusing on distant objects, bifocal lenses with visible line provide a seamless solution for people who require vision correction for both near and far distances.
What Are Bifocal Lenses?
Bifocal lenses are designed to correct two different prescriptions in a single lens. With a distinct lower section for near vision (like reading) and an upper section for distance vision, bifocals provide a convenient way to handle multiple vision needs without switching glasses.
Who Needs Bifocal Lenses?
If you’ve noticed your near vision becoming blurry as you age—a condition called presbyopia—you may benefit from bifocals. Many people over the age of 40 experience presbyopia, which affects the eye’s ability to focus on close objects. Bifocals help you see clearly both near and far, making them a versatile option for everyday life.
How Do Bifocal Lenses Work?
The lenses are divided into two sections. The upper part corrects distance vision, while the lower section helps with near tasks such as reading or using a smartphone. Modern bifocal lenses come in a variety of designs, with some offering more seamless transitions between prescriptions.
Bifocals vs. Progressives
Wondering about the difference between bifocals and progressive lenses? While bifocals have a visible line separating the two prescriptions, progressives provide a gradual transition between near and distance vision, with no line in the lens. Both options offer different benefits depending on your needs and lifestyle, and at Hip Optical, we’re happy to help you decide which option is best for you.
