What Are Progressive Lenses?
Traditional eyeglasses are usually single vision lenses with one prescription. Progressive lenses are multiple with three prescriptions in a pair of eyeglasses. Progressive lenses let you see comfortably at different distances, allowing you to see close, near, and far without changing your glasses. There are other kinds of multifocal lenses like bifocals and trifocals, but progressive lenses differ because of their smooth transition between prescriptions.
Bifocals and trifocals work similarly to progressive lenses and feature either two or three prescriptions in a pair of glasses. These lenses have definitive lines separating the prescriptions. However, progressive lenses don’t use these lines and allow you to easily transition between prescriptions.
Hence, in the following section, we will show you 6 different types of progressive lenses.
What Do the Numbers on Glasses Mean?

- The eye size number (it is the size of the lenses on your frame).
- The bridge size number (the distance between the lenses).
- The temple length number (it is the size of that part of your eyeglasses frame, which rests upon your ears).
The three numbers mentioned above are the key measurements that describe the glasses measurements of the frames in eyeglasses. For example, you will see three numbers like 51-17-145 at the temple of your glasses. These numbers help the optician to choose the best-fitted frame for your head size and facial features.
All of these three numbers are measured in millimeters. These variations in frame numbers are fitted by a skilled optician so that it should be best fitted, be comfortable and look good on the appearance.

Why do you need blue-light-blocking glasses?
High-energy blue light would penetrate the lens and directly enter the retina, causing the atrophy and even death of retinal pigment epithelial cells. The death of light-sensitive cells will lead to vision loss or even complete loss, which is irreversible. Blue light at 415 nanometers to 455 nanometers is short, that is, high energy and harmful blue light. This band of blue light would penetrate the lens directly to the center of the macula, causing irreversible damage to the macula. Excessive intake of high-energy blue light would cause confusion of our biological clock, so the damage of blue light should be paid enough attention to.
