What Are Digital Progressive Eyeglass Lenses?

Digital progressive lenses are sometimes referred to as “no-line bifocals” or “no-line trifocals” and are multifocal lenses that allow the wearer to comfortably view both near and far distances.  Digital progressive lenses offer both cosmetic and functional advantages compared to traditional lenses.

How Do Digital Progressive Lenses Work?

Digital progressive lenses are customized lenses designed on a computer specifically for you rather than using pre-molded designs for traditional lenses.  These digital manufactured lenses provide improved visual clarity for those who have trouble seeing both short and long distances.

Are Digital Progressive Lenses Right For You?

These lenses are great for those who have trouble reading but still want a more youthful-looking pair of eyeglass lenses.  In addition, they can eliminate problems frequently seen in bifocal lenses, such as “image jump”, where an image appears to “jump” when your eyes look at different parts of the lens powers.

Some people used to have difficulty adjusting to digital progressive lenses at first because of minor aberrations in the lenses.  Peripheral aberrations can make you slightly dizzy if you make fast head movements or if you look too far to your left or right.  The good news is that recent technology has improved these aberrations dramatically and few experience these effects anymore.

Benefits of Digital Progressive Lenses:

  • Hides the visible lines that traditional bifocals and trifocals have, offering a younger-looking appearance.
  • Personalized to fit your prescription and appearance.
  • Have multiple lenses for a variety of viewing distances.
  • Allows you to comfortable view a computer screen and fine print reading materials.
  • Offers a natural correction of Presbyopia, a vision problem that causes blurry vision when reading or viewing a computer screen.
  • Increased color vision, contrast perception, and low vision.
