Types of Multifocal Lenses that We Offer

Trifocal Lenses

Trifocals will help in addressing three refractive errors. In this case type of lens, there is a middle option that corrects intermediate vision.

Progressive Lenses

The progressive lenses do not have parts of lenses that separate different parts of the vision. Instead, they provide a smoother progression from the bottom to the top.

Adapting to Your Multifocal Lenses

Ensure that you wear your new lenses daily from the beginning. Therefore, you should avoid switching from your new to old glasses. In case you experience peripheral blur, you can eliminate the issue by undertaking slight head movements so that you look more directly at to object. In this case, you can point your noise to objects that you wish to look at.

Ensure that the lenses fit you well because it can be challenging to adjust with too small or oversize lenses. It would help if you were careful when driving. If you are not confident during the early days, you should not use your lenses.
