What is the meaning of progressive lens?

Progressive lenses have three prescriptions in one pair of glasses. That allows you to do close-up work (like reading a book), middle-distance work (like checking out a website on a computer), or distance viewing (like driving) without needing to change your glasses. They’re sometimes called multifocal lenses.

What is the difference between progressive lenses and regular lenses?

Progressive lenses provide a transition from near, intermediate, and far vision prescription. As compared to bifocal lenses, progressives provide a wider zone of clear vision to make activities like computer use and reading easier for the wearer.

There are several different types of progressive lenses, including:

• Computer progressive lenses.
• Premium progressive lenses.

Should I wear progressive lenses all the time?
