Depending on your specific vision requirements, lifestyle, personal preferences and individual needs, you may choose either bifocal or progressive lenses. While some may prefer the clear distinction between near and distance vision provided by bifocals and a quicker and easier adaptation period, others may be partial toward the aesthetic appeal and smoother transition between different distances of progressive lenses.

Bifocal lenses are generally recommended for individuals experiencing presbyopia, a condition that makes it challenging to focus on nearby objects. Presbyopia typically affects individuals over the age of 40 and is marked by a gradual loss of near vision. Discover more about who may benefit from wearing bifocal glasses here.

Some people may only need to wear bifocals for certain activities, such as reading or using a computer, while others may benefit from wearing them throughout the day for various tasks. Whether you should wear bifocals all the time depends on your eye prescription and the recommendation of your eye care professional.

Determining whether bifocals or progressive lenses are better depends on individual preferences and lifestyle. Bifocals offer a clear division between distance and reading prescriptions, while progressive lenses provide a seamless transition without a visible line, catering to different aesthetic and functional needs. Consulting with an eye care professional can help determine the most suitable option for you. Learn more about how to adapt to progressive lenses here.
