Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses (“no-line bifocals”) are designed to restore our distance, intermediate and near vision. Until recently, all progressive lenses were made in various designs in an attempt to satisfy the needs of every progressive lens wearer, with clear, sharp vision for all distances. However, most progressive lens wearers were only able to achieve average vision through their eyeglass lenses.
