Why can I no longer
focus on objects up close?
Vision changes occur
naturally as you age. When you reach your 40’s, focusing at
close range becomes difficult. This is a natural part of the
aging process caused by a gradual hardening of the eye’s
crystalline lens, reducing its ability to change shape and
focus. This condition is called Presbyopia.

How do progressive
lenses differ from ordinary bifocals?
Progressive addition
lenses feature a continuous, clear field of vision from
distance, through the intermediate ranges, to near without the
use of annoying bifocal lines. Bifocal lenses use very old
technology. Abrupt and awkward changes between distance and near
prescriptions are separated by annoying lines that can be
frustrating to wear. Top
