How Single-Vision Lenses Are Different From Other Lenses

Single-vision vs Progressive Lenses: Unlike single-vision lenses, progressive lenses lack a visible line between visual zones on the lens. Progressive lenses fit nearsighted and farsighted at once, since they effortlessly correct vision for all distances. Progressive lenses let you enjoy clear vision for close-up work and intermediate and vast distances without changing between several glasses.

Single-vision vs Bifocal and Trifocal Lenses: Bifocal glasses correct vision in two distinct ways: close and distance. Similarly, trifocal lenses fix vision differently: close, midrange, and distance. Visible lines between the visual zones on bifocal and trifocal lenses allow one to see this. These lenses let people see correctly at several focus points by being made to offer clear vision for given distances.

Single-Vision Glasses vs Reading Glasses: Since they are meant for close-up viewing, reading glasses can be a kind of single vision eyewear. When people discuss single vision glasses, they typically mean spectacles for distance vision. Reading glasses are mainly used for viewing something near your face, such as a book or computer screen. The intended focal point—reading glasses are best for close-up work, while single vision glasses are for good distant vision—is the main distinction between both.
