You’re ready to get a new pair of glasses and want to make sure you choose lenses that are perfectly suited to your needs and lifestyle. With so many options available like single vision for distance or reading, progressive for seamless vision at all ranges, bifocal for two distinct viewing areas, and blue light blocking for screen time relief, the choice can seem overwhelming. But don’t worry, this guide will walk you through the major types of lenses, explain how they differ, and help determine which ones are the best fit for your unique vision requirements and daily activities. By the end, you’ll feel fully informed and confident in selecting lenses that deliver the crisp, clear vision you depend on.
Single Vision Lenses: The Simple Option From Glasses Direct
Single-vision lenses are Glasses Direct’s simplest and most popular option. If you only need correction for distance or reading, single-vision lenses are all you need. These lenses provide crisp, clear vision for a single field of view.
For distance vision, single-vision lenses correct nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). If you spend long hours staring at screens or have a job requiring clear long-distance sight, single-vision distance lenses are ideal. For reading, single-vision lenses correct presbyopia, the age-related blurriness that makes small print hard to see. If you’re an avid reader or do detail work, single-vision reading lenses will make print crystal clear again.
With Glasses Direct’s affordable prices, you can get single-vision lenses for both distance and reading. Swap between the two pairs and enjoy optimal vision at any range. Single-vision lenses also come with lens treatments like anti-glare coating, scratch resistance, and blue light filtering.
So if you just need to sharpen your vision for a single task like driving, watching TV, or reading, single-vision lenses are a simple, inexpensive solution. For most people over 40, single-vision lenses for both distance and reading provide all the visual correction needed for everyday life. Why complicate things if you don’t have to? Go for the simple solution – get your single-vision lenses from Glasses Direct today!
Bifocal and Progressive Lenses: Advanced Vision Correction
Bifocal and progressive lenses are for those who need correction for both distance and near vision. If you have presbyopia, where your eyes have trouble focusing on close-up objects as you age, these multifocal lenses are for you!
Bifocal lenses have two separate lens powers – one for distance and one for reading. The reading segment is at the bottom of the lens. They’re affordable but can take some getting used to as you have to look through the appropriate segment.
Progressive lenses, on the other hand, provide a smooth transition between the lens powers. The power gradually increases from the top to the bottom of the lens. This means no visible lines, a more natural feel, and a wider field of view. The downside is they tend to cost more.
• Bifocals: Cheaper, but have visible lines and a more limited field of view. Great for those on a budget!
• Progressives: Seamless transition between powers, more natural vision, wider field of view. Perfect if cost isn’t a concern.
• Premium progressives: The latest digitally-designed lenses for maximum clarity and comfort. Offer the widest, clearest field of view but at a higher price point.
No matter which you choose, multifocal lenses can change your life by giving you back clear and comfortable vision at all distances. Make an eye exam appointment today – your eyes will thank you! Lens technology has come so far that there’s bound to be an option perfect for your needs and budget.
Specialty Lenses From Glasses Direct: Blue Light and More
You have so many lens options to choose from at Glasses Direct, why limit yourself to the basics? Expand your horizons with some of their specialty lenses designed for specific needs.
Blue light-blocking lenses are a must in today’s screen-filled world. These innovative lenses filter out the high energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted from tech devices like phones, tablets, and computers. Too much blue light exposure can lead to digital eye strain, sleep problems, and long-term damage to your vision. Glasses Direct’s blue light lenses eliminate 90% of blue light while still allowing some to pass through so colors remain vivid and bright. Your eyes will thank you!
If you’re an avid reader or spend long hours doing detail-oriented tasks like sewing or model building, computer lenses or occupational progressive lenses are ideal. These specialized progressives provide a customized focus for intermediate and near viewing distances. Your eyes won’t fatigue as quickly, ensuring you can enjoy your hobbies for longer.
For driving at night or in low light conditions, polarized yellow-tinted lenses can help reduce glare and brighten your view. The yellow tint enhances contrast so headlights, street signs, and road lines are more visible after dark or in inclement weather like rain, snow, and fog. You’ll feel safer and more confident behind the wheel.
With so many options to choose from, you can find the perfect custom lens solution for your lifestyle and visual needs. Don’t just settle for ordinary lenses when you can have extraordinary vision with the specialty lenses from Glasses Direct. Your eyes will thank you for the upgrade!
