What are the progressive lenses?

From the age of 40 onwards, human beings begin to experience a series of problems with their eyesight, noticing that their vision is no longer what it used to be, even having trouble reading the small print in an article, magazine, or newspaper.

All this is caused by presbyopia, but what exactly is presbyopia? Well, in short, it is the loss of the ability to focus on objects at close range caused by the passage of time due to the deterioration of the crystalline lens in the eye, causing it to stop focusing, losing flexibility and making near vision impossible for many activities.

Fortunately, today there is a quite viable solution for presbyopia and it is the famous progressive lenses, this type of lenses or glasses allow to obtain a more comfortable vision at all distances, in these types of multifocal lenses eliminate the lines that can become visible through the lens in the bifocals allowing that despite the presbyopia the user can reach to observe clearly at all distances.

Advantages of the progressive lenses

• As it is already known, this style of lens becomes more useful since only one pair is needed to have good long and short-range vision.
