What are multifocal lenses?
Multifocal lenses (also called progressive lenses) combine multiple prescriptions in vision zones within one lens, whereas single vision lenses only have one distance vision zone.
Not all multifocal lenses are built equally.
If you’ve been noticing distorted or blurred vision when looking between different distances, then you may be interested in a newer high-performance lens on the market.
The most common multifocal lens product on the market are a “standard” level, which were designed decades ago. They are a great option giving you ‘3 pairs in 1’ instead of carrying separate reading glasses or struggling with just 1 pair.
If you haven’t heard of high-performance multifocal lenses, you’re not alone.
Our customers often tell us they didn’t know that there were different lens options available for multifocals. Newer lenses use the latest technology to create more seamless vision between distances, and address some of the frustrations that some multifocal wearers have experienced with standard lenses.

What differences did you see?

What differences did you see?
“I can say with confidence they are the best multifocals I have ever worn. I noticed less distortion when going down stairs, and watching my son’s basketball games.” - Dean
“I love reading and I’ve found that I can read for longer without moving my head so much, and it’s also easier to check mirrors while driving.” - Mary
“Absolutely fantastic from the minute you put them on. They are great, very clear, wide vision range… it feels like I am not even wearing glasses.” – Kathy
Are they worth the investment?
“I would never ever go back to standard lenses. I have to wear these every day, so it benefits me to wear the best that’s available.” - Mary
“Even though they cost a little bit more, they are well worth the extra cost” – Kathy
“I’ve tried over the years varying sorts, and I’ve got to say these are the best ones I’ve had.” - Dean
