Progressive Lenses
With today's technology, a simple solution to
the need for reading lenses is the use of multi-focal
progressive lenses. Traditional bifocal lenses
provide clear vision of objects in the distance
and near ranges, but everything in between is
blurred. The visible dividing line is also a telltale
sign to everyone that you are wearing bifocals!
Below you’ll find information on some of
the best progressive lens brands available today.
While each manufacturer
may tout some aspect of its lens over the other,
rest assured that all progressive lenses sold
on FramesDirect.com are fine-quality products.
The type of lens we recommend varies depending
on your prescription, or in some instances, the
frame type you select.
If you have any questions about these brands or
progressive lenses, please call one of our friendly
online opticians at 1-800-248-9427.
Zeiss Business
This lens is designed specifically for working
at the computer and viewing keyboards, screens
and your work area. Zeiss Business brings everything
in the near and intermediate ranges, from 14 inches
up to 4 feet, into focus. This eliminates the
need for separate reading glasses. The lenses
also feature wide zones of vision that are evenly
structured, so Zeiss Business is extremely comfortable.
The near zone is concentrated in the lower third
of the lens, and the power decreases incrementally
as your eyes move upward giving you exceptional
clarity in the intermediate zone. You won’t
have to move your head around to find just the
right “sweet spot”. And this lens
can accommodate smaller, fashionable frames with
a fitting height as low as 16mm.
Zeiss
GT2™
GT2 progressive lenses maximize the interaction
between lens design and the visual system of the
wearer. This guarantees the most natural, satisfying
vision possible. GT2 lenses allow exceptional
near utility. The large near zone is carefully
positioned where you’ll use it most while
reading. GT2 lenses also have virtually no distortion
above the 180 degree line, giving you clear distance
and peripheral vision.
Accolade
The Accolade with Harmonix™ is the first
progressive lens that takes the shape of the eye
into account. The term Harmonix symbolizes the
patented technology that brings harmony to your
prescription and individual eye shape. This gives
you faster adjustment; 9 out of 10 patients adapt
immediately. Accolade technology also offers better
visual acuity and peripheral vision than standard
progressive lenses.
Accolade
Freedom
Utilizing the Harmonix™ technology of Accolade
lenses and newly designed FrameOptimization™
technology, Accolade Freedom lenses turn ordinary
eye measurements into extraordinary vision. FrameOptimization
adjusts the design and your prescription to the
available visual space. This means you get a personal
best field of view that maximizes your prescription,
optimizes visual zones and provides better freedom
in frame choice.
