Progressive Lenses, Explained Simply

Progressive lenses let you see far, intermediate and near through a single lens, with no visible line. They are one of the most useful lens designs available — and one of the most sensitive to how well they are fitted.

The corridor

Between the distance zone at the top and the reading zone at the bottom runs a narrow “corridor” where power changes gradually. Your eyes learn to find the right height for each task — which is why the first few days can feel unusual.

Making adjustment easier

  1. 01
    Precise measurements

    Pupil distance and fitting height are measured on the frame you will actually wear.

  2. 02
    The right frame depth

    A frame that is too shallow squeezes the reading zone.

  3. 03
    A short follow-up

    Small adjustments after a few days make a real difference to comfort.

Most people adapt within one to two weeks. If yours still feel wrong after that, come back — it is usually a fit issue we can fix.
