Single vision

This lens type has one prescription that covers the entire lens. Single vision is ideal for a single prescription, either for distance or reading.

Bifocal lenses

Bifocal lenses contain two different prescriptions in one lens, making it the perfect option if you require correction for both distance and reading.

These lenses also contain multiple prescriptions. They correct vision at different distances by gradually changing power, allowing you to enjoy seamless vision.
