Why can I no longer focus on objects up
close?
Vision changes occur naturally
as you age. When you reach your 40’s, focusing at close
range becomes difficult. This is a natural part of the aging
process caused by a gradual hardening of the eye’s
crystalline lens, reducing its ability to change shape and
focus. This condition is called Presbyopia.

How do progressive lenses differ from ordinary bifocals?
Progressive addition lenses feature a continuous, clear
field of vision from distance, through the intermediate
ranges, to near without the use of annoying bifocal lines.
Bifocal lenses use very old technology. Abrupt and awkward
changes between distance and near prescriptions are
separated by annoying lines that can be frustrating to wear.
