Bifocal Lenses

Bifocal Lenses in Columbia, SC

Having to carry two pairs of eyeglasses for your short and far vision correction can be a lot of work. You may forget to pack your pair for far-sight correction only to realize it when you are already driving. At Dr. Dorothy Park & Associates in Columbia, SC, we offer bifocal lenses that have the two vision fields.

.

What Are Bifocal Lenses?

Bifocal lenses consist of two lens powers that enable you to see objects at two distinct distances, those that are near and far. The inability to change the focus of your eyes mostly happens due to age; this condition is known as presbyopia. On the surface of the lens, there is a line that separates the two fields of vision; far and near. The lower part has a lens that corrects your near vision, and the remaining part is usually for your far vision.

The lens part used for near-vision correction takes the following shapes:

  • Round segment
  • Half-moon shape/ D segment/ straight-top/ flat top
  • Franklin, named after the inventor of the bifocal lens Benjamin Franklin. It is also known as the full bottom half/ Executive/ E style.
  • The narrow rectangular shape is called the ribbon segment.
