Bifocal lensesUpdated a year ago

Bifocals have two distinct optical powers in a single lens. They are designed to provide clear vision for both near and far distances, making them particularly useful for individuals with presbyopia, a common age-related vision condition.

The two main components of bifocal lenses are:

Distance Vision Area: The upper part of the lens is prescribed for distance vision. This part helps individuals see clearly when looking at objects in the distance, such as road signs or the board in a classroom.

Near Vision Area: The lower part of the lens is prescribed for near vision. This segment assists with tasks like reading, sewing, or using a computer, addressing the effects of presbyopia.

The transition between the two prescription areas is typically marked by a visible line across the lens.
