Bifocal vs Progressive: How to Decide What’s Best

Bifocal vs Progressive: How to
Decide What’s Best

What are Bifocals? Bifocal
glasses are glasses that
contain two different lens
powers in one or both lenses.

You can even get sunglasses
with bifocals & bifocal transition
lenses! Types of Bifocal Lenses

Bifocal lenses can come in
several different types, which

include...

Flat-top: On the side of a flat-
top bifocal is a little piece

shaped like a half moon or the
letter "D." It's on the inside of

the nose.

Blended: Prior to the development of no-
line bifocals, blended bifocals were

common.
Executive: An executive bifocal
is a line bifocal in which the top half and
bottom half of the lens are totally split by a

visible lens that reaches all the way
across the lens.

What are Progressive
lenses? Progressive lenses

are essentially "No line
bifocals".

There are three major
differences.

Progressive lenses provide
clear vision at all distances,
whereas bifocals only correct
eyesight for two distinct fields

of vision.

Bifocals have a typical design with
lines between the fields of vision,
whereas progressive lenses have
no visible lines and allow seamless
lens transitions, which is a selling

point for many.

Progressive lenses are
more expensive than
simple bifocals from a
financial standpoint.

Progressive lenses easily change
between near and far prescriptions. In
bifocal lenses, however, a distinct line
separates near and far vision. When
deciding which sort of lens is appropriate
for you, think about your lifestyle and

personal preferences.
