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.
