types of spectacles

 

Spectacles not only help you see the world clearer but also protect your eye from wind, dust, and other foreign particles, which can be the reason to reduce your risk of developing eye irritations. The Spectacles have been helping us in our lives for generations.

People wear spectacles according to their interests, some wear them to correct their vision, and some wear spectacles just for a style statement.

It is also hard to choose a spectacle now as a wide range of spectacles is available in unique patterns, colors, and styles. Everyone should go for a spectacle type or frame according to their face structure.

Here are the different types of Spectacles:

Before making up your mind to buy spectacles, consult an optometrist or go for a home eye test.

1. Prescription Spectacles:

Prescription spectacles are your buddies that provide the sharp, clear vision you want to have. All you need is an eyewear prescription from an optometrist that can define what you need for perfect lenses to correct your vision, and with that, you can order spectacles from anywhere in the world.

Single Vision:

Single-vision prescription lenses are perfect for correcting eye issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. They are most affordable and widely in use to correct eye vision.

 

Multifocal Lenses (Bifocal or Trifocal Lenses)

People suffering from more than one eye issue go for Multifocal Lenses. They are designed to correct multiple eye issues just with single lenses. So if you are suffering from nearsightedness and farsightedness that doesn’t mean you need spectacles, a spectacle with a multifocal lens will help you!

Progressive and Computer spectacles contain multiple lenses.

Bifocal Lenses:

People who have both myopia and presbyopia are prescribed Bifocal Lenses. They are the ones widely in use for correcting eye sights.

Tri-focal Lenses:

Tri-focal lenses are the ones that are almost similar to bi-focal but just because of the power of correcting intermediate vision, they provide an additional ability to view computer screens.

Progressive Lenses:

Spectacles with Progressives have multifocal lenses containing three main fields of vision including near, intermediate, and distance that provide a seamless transition.
