An Alternative To Expensive Progressive Lenses

We are problem solvers at Eyes On Linton your Delray Beach Optometrist, that's what we do at our office. We solve vision problems for all sorts of people. One problem that is popping up more frequently involves early presbyopia and eyewear. Presbyopia is defined as "a vision condition in which the crystalline lens of your eye loses its flexibility, which makes it difficult for you to focus on close objects." Presbyopia generally rears its ugly head in your mid-40's. And typically you'd be faced with a few solutions, wearing two pairs of glasses, wearing bifocals, or wearing progressives. 

What we've noticed at Eyes On Linton your Delray Beach Optometrist is that due to the fact that we're more involved in our digital devices that presbyopia symptoms have been popping up earlier than normal. The way human beings see the world has changed dramatically in recent years. Our viewing ranges have gone from distant horizons, to intermediate zones, to now primarily focusing on near-tasks. If you wear glasses for seeing things in the distance it's going to get much harder to see things up close. 

Bifocals and Progressive (no line bifocal) lenses are an obvious choice when confronted with early presbyopia. Progressive lenses can be expensive they range in price anywhere from $200 to $600. But there are more solutions to this problem than just two options. There are actually Single Vision lenses options that can help. 

These Single Vision lenses are specially made and manipulated to include a power boost at the bottom of the lenses, without making distortions in the lenses much like Progressive lenses do.  

Here is a description of one of the lenses we offer from the manufacturers website. 

Don't let other places fool you into thinking you don't have options because you do. And Eyes On Linton your Delray Beach Optometrist is here to help you navigate those options.
