Progressive lens: It is also called no line bifocal lens.
No Line Progressive lenses provide you with a gentle progression of correction from the top of the lens to the bottom.
Breakthrough lens technology provides both bifocal and trifocal wearers better vision without distinct "telltale" lines across the lens.

Progressive Glasses are also called No-Line Bifocal or Varifocal. These glasses combine distance glasses and reading glasses in one lens.

progressive eyeglasses have blended three focal distance areas into each lens, such that the upper part of the lens is focused for distance vision, the center portion for middle distance (e.g., reading labels on supermarket shelves), and the lower portion is focused for reading and the computer screen.

Progressive lenses have limited areas of "soft focus" in the periphery of the lenses — to the left and right of the intermediate viewing zone, in particular. This is unavoidable when creating line-free progressive lenses. But over the years, new manufacturing technology has made these areas less noticeable.

In my prescription, there is a note "Trifocals" when i tried to place an order and chose what type of lens, there is no options for trifocal, only bifocal, i am confused? what lens do i need to chose? please help!!!

Trifocals is different from bifocals. if your eye doctor prescribe you to chose trifocals for lenses type, you need to chose trifocals, in order for your to avoid mistake on your vision,

do you know the difference between trifocals and bifocals? i am really confused, i really thought they are the same,

[Linda Eyeglasses]

A trifocal lens is constructed by placing enough additional diopters on top of the distance vision Rx to achieve the intermediate Rx.


Bifocal lens contain two prescriptions, the top part of the lens will be used for your distance vision and the bottom part will be used for reading, there is a line separating distance and reading sections.
