What is a progressive lens? A progressive lens is a type of lens designed to correct multiple vision requirements in one lens. For instance, a pair of eyeglasses can be utilized for adjusting your distance, intermediate, and near-sighted needs. Those types of lenses can correct multiple vision impairments. The highest part of the progressive lens is designed to correct distance vision while the lower section of a multifocal lens is adapted to near-sighted needs like reading, using the phone or other “close up” tasks.

On the other hand, progressive lenses also have some disadvantages. It usually takes time to get used to multifocal lenses. It is quite normal that new multifocal lenses could make you dizzy while you get used to them. The first 5 to 7 days are usually the hardest, especially if you need to perform actions that require an accurate sense of depth perception.
