Bifocal Glasses

See clearly across the room and read up close without switching glasses. Bifocal lenses place distance correction above and a clearly defined reading segment below, giving you two direct viewing zones in one pair.

Choosing Frames and Lenses for Bifocal Glasses

Bifocal glasses combine distance correction in the upper lens with a defined reading segment below. The segment style, frame height, prescription details and frame fit all influence how the finished glasses work in daily use.

Choose Your Bifocal Lens Design

• Flat-Top bifocals provide a broad, defined reading area for frequent close-up tasks.
• Round-Top bifocals use a smaller curved segment that may appear less prominent.
• The visible line makes reading zone easy to find, though some adjustment is normal.
• Standard bifocals focus on distance & near rather than providing a full intermediate range.

Choose the Right Frame and Fit

• Select a frame with enough lens height for both the distance and reading zones.
• Provide a current prescription with an ADD value and accurate PD information.
• A secure bridge fit helps keep the reading segment in a consistent position.
• For long computer sessions, dedicated computer or progressive lenses may be more suitable.

FAQs

What are bifocal glasses used for?

Bifocal glasses are used to support two main viewing distances in one pair of glasses, usually distance vision and near vision. The upper part of the lens is commonly used for seeing farther away, while the lower segment is used for reading or close-up tasks. For a deeper explanation of lens types and frame choices, read our bifocal glasses guide.

Are bifocal glasses better than progressive glasses?

Bifocal glasses and progressive glasses are designed for different preferences. Bifocal glasses provide two clearly separated viewing zones, usually for distance and near vision, while progressive glasses offer a gradual transition across distance, intermediate, and near vision without a visible line. Bifocals may feel more direct for readers who prefer a defined near-vision area.

Can I order bifocal glasses online?

Yes. Bifocal glasses can be ordered online when you provide accurate prescription details, PD information, and choose a frame that works well with bifocal lenses. At Olet Optical, choose your favorite frame first, then click Select Lenses to customize bifocal lens options based on your vision needs.
