The frequently asked questions about progressive lenses.

 Have you ever wondered about wearing progressive lenses? 

In this part, Muller Optik has collected frequently asked questions from patients regarding the use of progressive lenses.

🧡  What are progressive lenses?  🧡

Progressive lenses feature a seamless surface hosting multiple lens powers, catering to various distances such as far, intermediate, and near vision. They provide a comprehensive solution for seeing clearly at multiple distances within a single lens.

🧡  Who are progressive lenses suitable for?   🧡

 Progressive lenses are typically recommended for individuals experiencing the onset of farsightedness, often occurring in the age range of 40 years and above. This condition is age-related and varies based on individual circumstances.

🧡  How do we know? When we started having farsightedness   🧡

Common symptoms signaling the onset of farsightedness include difficulty focusing on close objects, leading to blurred vision. Individuals may find themselves needing to hold objects at a greater distance to achieve clarity.

🧡  Is it OK if we have farsightedness but don't wear any progressive   🧡

Yes, it will depend on your eyesight and your daily life. If the farsightedness value is not very high, you can use single-vision glasses for farsightedness. Or it is recommended to wear 2-phase lenses in the digital lens group first.

🧡   Why are progressive lenses so expensive?    🧡

Progressive lenses are available at a wide range of prices, catering to each wearer's eyesight, production quality, and technology, which differ among models.

🧡  Why are progressive lenses less comfortable than single-vision lenses and take longer to adjust? 🧡

Due to their multifocal nature, progressive lenses integrate multiple prescriptions seamlessly within a single lens. This can lead to peripheral distortion, unlike single-vision lenses, which have no such distortion. The transition zone between prescriptions contributes to this distortion, which is one factor contributing to the longer adjustment period required for progressive lenses compared to single-vision ones. 
Muller Optik has tips and tricks for using progressive lenses  😊

🧡  In general. How long does it take for progressive lens wearers to adjust?   🧡

It will depend on the eyesight, Suitability of the selected lens, and characteristics of behavior using eyesight including an understanding of how to use progressive lenses.

🧡  What can we do? If we cannot adjust to the new lens   🧡

It could be due to incompatible habits or daily activities. In such cases, alternative lens options like single-distance or office lenses may offer better suitability. It's essential to select lenses crafted to the wearer's specific needs and lifestyle for optimal comfort and functionality.

🧡  Why can progressive glasses only be worn by those who wear them? Can other people borrow it and wear it? 🧡

Progressive lenses are customized with multiple prescriptions customed to the individual wearer. If someone else wears them, it may lead to discomfort and dizziness due to the personalized nature of the lens.
