3 Common Problems with Progressive Lenses
Though progressive lenses are popular to correct some eye conditions, there are also some drawbacks. So, in the following section, we will show you some common problems with progressive lenses.
Dizziness: the three different focal lengths of progressive lenses can make people susceptible to dizziness, as well as vertigo. From long to medium to short distance, the lenses offer a gradient of increasing strength. So, it would have trouble in adapting the glasses for the people who are wearing them for the first time. A common mistake is to look out of the wrong focal length, causing their vision to be blurry and lead to an overall feeling of dizziness.
Peripheral distortion: another common problem of progressive lenses is the way in which they blur peripheral vision. Most glasses cause an initial distortion to vision. However, the three different segments found in these lenses can make that distortion feel more prominent than other pairs of eyeglasses. And most people may need two weeks to adjust to progressive lenses.
Depth perception: Since progressive lenses provide three different prescriptions to see objects clearly for different distances, it is important that you need to move your head instead of your eyes when focusing on objects at different distances. Prior to adjusting to this little nuance, progressive lenses can cause depth perception to feel off.
From the above information, you have known some common problems with progressive lenses. So, you may ask how to adjust the progressive lenses. The most popular way is that you need to wear them frequently.
Costs are lower for online stores.
The most fundamental reason is cost. The cost is not just the cost of the glasses, and there are many other aspects of the cost. If it is an online store, it only needs a warehouse, a computer, a customer service, which can meet the needs. And if it has the factory direct sales, then the product purchase cost is lower. The online shop needs publicity fees. For a physical store, the superior location, high rent, water, electricity, and labor costs, a variety of optometry processing instruments are valuable. There is a lot of brand publicity, decoration costs. These aspects are the cost of physical stores to pay.
Types of Bifocal Lenses
Flat top: It is a kind of common bifocal lenses. The lower part of the lens is present in the shape of a half-moon or the letter D on its side. The upper part and the lower part of the lens can be clearly distinguished from each other. The patient using such a bifocal lens has the choice of choosing the length of the lower segment which is either 25 mm or 28 mm.
Round seg: the second type of bifocal lens we want to mention is the round seg. The segment is either 22 or 24 mm in length and it provides more are to adjust between the two different types of vision easily. This type is very rarely used nowadays.
Blended: this type of bifocal lens has the lower part of the lens in a round shape and the edges of the lens are blended with the upper lens making the lens appear as one.

Why should you choose thin lenses?
Regular lenses are great for low-prescription people, but for high-prescription people, high-prescription regular lenses are too thick and heavy, making them unattractive and have a poor wearing experience. For high-prescription people, we recommend that they choose thin lenses with a high refractive index because they are lighter and more attractive to wear. For any astigmatism above +3.00, we recommend 1.67 or 1.74 refractive index lenses because these lenses are aspherical in design, which means they are thinner, flatter, and lighter than standard spherical lenses, which reduces the magnification of your eyes to other people.
The frames should be the right size.
When choosing glasses for kids, pay attention to the size of the frame. Be careful not to choose frames that are too big for your child, and avoid frames that will create shadows or blind corners.
