When thinking about eyeglass lenses, have you ever wondered how many types there are? Eyeglass lenses are essential and the key factor in helping you see clearly. There are various types of lenses designed to address different eye problems based on each individual's needs. These lenses are designed to suit different ages, lifestyles, and vision requirements. Today, we’re introducing 5 popular types of lenses that are suitable for different uses, so you can choose the perfect lens for your eyesight!
1. Single Vision Lens
A single vision lens is used to correct common vision problems. It provides a specific prescription for either myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism and is designed to provide clarity for a particular distance, such as for distance vision or near vision. This lens type is suitable for all ages.
2. Bifocal Lens
Bifocal lenses are designed to correct vision for both distance and near sight in one lens. They have a visible line separating the top portion for distance vision and the bottom portion for near vision. This design is suitable for those with presbyopia (age-related farsightedness), typically for people over 40 who are beginning to experience difficulty seeing up close, such as reading or using a smartphone.
3. Progressive Lens
A progressive lens is a seamless, multilayer lens that covers all distances of vision in one lens. It is divided into zones: distance, intermediate, near, and peripheral vision, allowing for clear and natural vision without the need for multiple pairs of glasses. Additionally, modern technologies allow for the design of personalized progressive lenses tailored to the wearer’s needs.
4. Intermediate Distance Lens (Office Lens)
Intermediate distance lenses, also known as office lenses or specialized lenses, are designed to support vision at intermediate and near distances effectively. They are perfect for people who spend long hours working at a computer, reading documents, or participating in online meetings. These lenses help improve clarity, reduce eye strain, and provide comfort throughout the day. This type is ideal for people who work both at the office and at home, helping you work efficiently and comfortably.
5. Anti-Fatigue Lens
Eye fatigue, strain, and discomfort are common problems for many people. Prolonged use of your eyes can cause them to become tense, tired, and lacking in relaxation. Anti-fatigue lenses are designed to reduce strain, alleviate fatigue, and enhance comfort when viewing objects at close range. They are ideal for individuals aged 18-40 or those who need to focus on screens and read documents for extended periods. These lenses will help you work efficiently while keeping your eyes comfortable and relaxed.
