If you have already worn progressive lenses and find it difficult to adjust, unable to wear them for long periods, could it be because of the lens structure? โโ
๐ First, let's get to know what progressive lenses are ๐
Progressive Lens are lenses that have multiple prescription powers arranged smoothly and seamlessly on the lens surface, or simply put, lenses that have multiple distances in a single lens. This allows you to see at various distances, including far, intermediate, and near, effectively meeting the demands of daily life without the need to switch between different glasses for different distances.
Who are progressive lenses suitable for?
Progressive Lenses are suitable for those who start experiencing presbyopia, typically around the age of 40 and above. Common signs of presbyopia include difficulty seeing objects up close, blurred vision, and the need to hold objects farther away to see them.
๐ค The structure of progressive lenses affects the wearing experience for each ๐ค
Choosing the right lens structure is crucial because each individual has different daily activities or lifestyles. Selecting a structure that suits you best will make wearing progressive lenses easier, comfortable, and efficient throughout the day, providing the best performance.

Progressive Lenses have two types of structural technology: Hard Design and Soft Design.
-
Hard Design
This design focuses on clear vision of distant objects and is suitable for those who need wide vision at a distance. It is ideal for those who work outdoors, drive, or engage in activities requiring clear distance vision. It is designed to gather the unwanted cylinder into narrow side areas, known as the distortion zone, which results in reduced blurriness and distortion in the side vision but may increase distortion and blurriness.
-
Soft Design
This design emphasizes softness, comfort, and lower peripheral distortion. While it reduces peripheral distortion and blurriness, it also slightly reduces the sharpness of the image. This design is suitable for those with constant movement, such as sports enthusiasts, gym-goers, or office workers who do not focus much on distant vision. It offers easier adjustment and greater comfort.
Moreover, those who are new to wearing progressive lenses may still wonder which frame structure is most effective for them.
At Mรผller Optik, optometrists are available to thoroughly examine your vision, and there are in-house opticians who can consult with you to choose the most suitable lens structure. Additionally, there are trial progressive lenses available in both Soft Design and Hard Design structures, allowing you to experience different perspectives and understand the basics of using progressive lenses.

Soft Design structure helps reduce head movements, find focus in various distances, and faster image focusing. Another highlight of this lens is minimal lateral distortion, allowing users to adjust more easily.

#ZeissSmartLife Soft Design structure lenses are of high quality, adapted to the modern lifestyle with various screen viewing angles, emphasizing visual field, vision dimensions, and ergonomics. Anthropology is incorporated as smartphone users tend to have deeper interactions.
#ZeissSmartLife also adjusts the lens structure to suit the wearer's age, as aging affects the dilation and slowing of the pupils. The average size of the eye's pupil center decreases, resulting in reduced visual quality of the lens.
