Are you in the market for a new pair of eyeglasses? If so, you may be wondering about the different types of lenses available. Many kinds of eye lenses are available, and each has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
What should I know about this?
The most common type of eye lens is known as a single-vision lens. This lens type features a clear center and a prescription area on either side. These lenses are ideal for people who need corrective lenses but don’t have particularly complex prescriptions, such as those with nearsightedness or farsightedness. Additionally, these lenses are more affordable than other eyeglasses, making them a popular choice among budget-conscious consumers.
Another popular choice is multifocal lenses, sometimes also referred to as progressive lenses or bifocals. Unlike single-vision lenses that only correct one type of vision problem, multifocal lenses contain multiple prescriptions within the same lens. This makes them ideal for people who need corrective lenses for nearsighted and farsightedness, such as those in their 40s or 50s. However, these lenses often take some time to get used to and can cause eye strain or headaches until you become accustomed to wearing them.
