Steve Cogger (Article Warehouse - Jul 29, 2005) -- If you find yourself
taking your reading glasses on and off frequently you may want to consider
getting bifocal reading glasses. Bifocals offer you the ability to see both near
and far without ever having to remove your reading glasses. There two different
kinds of bifocals and many different reasons why people wear bifocal reading
glasses.
Bifocals are the combination of two prescriptions in one lens
allowing a person to move their eye to see both near and far without having to
remove their reading glasses or exchange them for another pair of reading
glasses. There are two main types of bifocal lens: segmented and no line. The
segmented bifocals have a second lens that sits in the larger lens and is
visible to others. No line bifocals, a form of progressive lens, have the two
prescriptions blended together at the edges to create a single lens appearance.
Both types of bifocal lens take an adjustment period for your eyes to get used
to having two different prescriptions in a single lens. Both types of bifocals
are available in reading glasses and the choice is up to the buyer.
Bifocal reading glasses have benefits for those who normally wear
glasses and for those who don't. For people who already wear glasses, the change
to a bifocal lens in your regular glasses eliminates the need for a second pair
of reading only glasses. People who do not normally wear reading glasses may
want a bifocal lens combined with a non-prescription lens so they can easily
move from near to far vision without a problem. Overall, bifocal reading glasses
get rid of having to shove your glasses down your nose so you can see far away
or having to lug around a second pair of glasses.
Bifocal reading
glasses are nice for the person who must often switch from near to far vision.
They make less hassle as the wearer can simply move their eyes, not their
glasses. With the choice of a no line bifocal the only person who knows you are
wearing them are you. Bifocal reading glasses are becoming popular and can be
found wherever reading glasses are sold.
