Bifocal lenses, the classic.
Clear distance vision up top, dedicated reading power below — separated by the trusted visible segment. No adaptation period required — the preferred choice for wearers switching from single vision, or anyone who found progressives hard to adapt to.
Two powers, one lens
Distance correction above the line, reading power below — your eyes always know where to look.
Instant adaptation
The defined segment means no “swim” effect — most wearers are comfortable right away.

The flat-top segment has a subtle line across the lower portion of the lens. Most people stop noticing it quickly, and it is the trade-off for the instant, reliable focus bifocals are known for.
Yes — many people who struggled to adapt to progressives are much happier with bifocals. Send us your prescription and we will set the reading segment to suit your frames and habits.
