Progressive Contact Lenses Or How To Avoid A Bifocal Jump Effect

When you find yourself in need of some help concerning your close reading needs then progressive contact lenses may be just the solution you need.

Problems with our near vision or "close up focusing" is quite common and there are contacts that may prove to be just the visual "boost" that is required to restore that clarity and sharpness to your eyes.

Why You May Need Them

Aging is the most common reason that near vision correction becomes necessary.

As people mature the lenses and muscles of the eyes begin to lose much of their former elasticity in much the way that rubber becomes less pliable over time.

Benefits Of Progressive Contacts And Eyeglasses

Instead of your granny's thick bifocals these new types of lenses have been designed to be lightweight, easy to wear and effective at solving your visual problems.

Without that definitive line that is commonly seen in bifocals there is a seamless flow to your visual field that is very much appreciated by the users.

How Progressive Lenses Work

These contacts have gradient lenses that produce multifocal abilities. This means that you can have a pair of contacts prescribed that will provide you with adjustments for your near, far or intermediate vision.

You can even have prescription progressive contacts crafted that will solve any combination of vision needs related to these distances.

What makes progressive contact lenses different from regular multifocal contacts?

• As working on computers has become a routine for many of us it feels very natural to use progressive lenses: all the powers are in front of you all the time.

• The phenomenon of selective vision takes place here which means that it's your brain that chooses the appropriate power, you don't need to move your head to get near, intermediate or distance vision.
