Presbyopia is the decline of accommodative ability of the eyes, which is an inevitable condition.

Presbyopia is a natural aging process of the eyes. Starting from the age of 40, your lenses become less flexible and stiffer. The images cannot be properly focused on your retina as the accommodation starts to decline, leading blurry close-up vision. Presbyopia happens regardless of whether you are nearsighted, farsighted or with normal vision.



Accommodation declines by approximately 0.29D every year as you age. Most people start having trouble seeing close up between the ages of 30 and 44.

People with presbyopia usually needs a pair of distance glasses for seeing far, and a pair of reading glasses for seeing near.

Progressive lenses provide more than one focal length. The wearer can see objects clearly across all distances with just one pair of glasses.


Let’s think of lenses as sand piles. The stronger the prescription, the thicker the sand pile and vice versa.

When combining the lenses for far and near visions i.e. two prescriptions on the same lens surface, there will be 2 segments of sand piles with different thickness, creating a fault line inbetween. This is why the traditional bifocals have an obvious visible line between 2 segments, which affect the appearance. It also requires patient to accommodate the image jumps when switching between near and far distances.

To smoothen the line between the 2 sand piles, the thick sand pile is required to be redistributed to the sides.

This makes the appearance of progressive lens no difference from that of an ordinary lens, while still meeting the visual needs for far and near distance. The only trade-off is the thickness of the sand piles on the sides becomes inappropriate to vision, hence the distortion.



How to adapt to progressive lenses?

• Start as soon as you experience presbyopia

If presbyopia is still mild, the sand piles on the sides (the distortion zones) will not be too thick. It is easier to adapt to the lenses.

• Choose the right lens for your lifestyle

Different sand pile designs (power distribution) on progressive lens is based on different use, such as design for fast focus and design for easy adaptation. Please consult our professional optometrist for details.

• Choose the right frame
A frame is a very important element for optimal vision. Choosing a frame that matches the type of your progressive lenses can greatly improve wearing comfort.
