There are several types of Bifocals, one of which is the "D" shaped bifocals which is the most common. Another type is the Blended bifocals which you see only a very little visible line separating top distance vision and bottom reading. It is two lenses in one, it helps you see distance and reading near vision at the same time.

when placing the order online I was trying to find the bifocals that did not have the line in them. but when i received the order. it has a line in the center, what is the particular name of no line bifocals?

Progressive eyeglasses is called no line bifocal, so next time. when you placed an order, make it sure that you order a progressive since you want no line, if it is with line, meaning its a bifocal,

My prescription has 2 sets of spherical numbers- numbers, d.v., and n.v.. Does this mean they are bifocals?

[Dale Eyeglasses]

NV or NVO = near-vision or near-vision-only; your doctor is recommending "reading-only" glasses,

[Issac Eyeglasses]

What are the d.v numbers? is this mean that i have a high prescription? does it cost more than regular prescription?

[Dale Eyeglasses]

D.V means distance vision, no need to pay extra because d.v is just a regular or standard prescription.
