Bifocals:
Distance and Reading:
If you need vision correction for both distance and reading, then can use two pairs of glasses, and alternate depending on what you need to see. Or, you can choose bifocal lenses, trifocal lenses, or progressive lenses (called multifocal lenses).
Many people find it convenient not to be required to remove their glasses and switch to another pair in order to read something.
Bifocal lenses were used by everyone that wanted the convenience of near and far vision correction in the same pair of eyeglasses.
- Eyeglasses that incorporate two different powers in each segment, usually for distance and near corrections.
- Bifocals can also be calculated to have computer length on the top section with near vision correction in the lower segment.
