If you’re someone who wears glasses, you may be familiar with progressive lenses. They’re a type of lens that can help you see both near and far distances without having to switch between multiple pairs of glasses. However, not all progressive lenses are created equal. In this blog post, we’ll explore the differences between progressive lenses and which one might be best for you.

At EyeCare Group, we understand that everyone’s eyes are unique. That’s why we offer customized lenses to help you work and live more effectively. Our opticians work closely with our optometrists to determine the best lens design for you based on your specific needs. Whether you’re spending long hours in front of a computer screen or driving long distances, we can create a lens that will work for you.

When it comes to progressive lenses, there are several different designs to choose from. The most common designs are standard, short corridor, and extended corridor. Let’s take a closer look at each one.

Standard Progressive Lenses

Standard progressive lenses have a gradual progression of power from the top of the lens to the bottom. This design works well for people who have a moderate range of vision needs. However, if you have a stronger prescription or need a wider reading area, a different design may be more appropriate.

Short Corridor Progressive Lenses

Short corridor progressive lenses are designed for people who have a smaller frame or need a wider reading area. These lenses have a shorter progression of power from the top of the lens to the bottom. This design allows for a wider reading area without compromising the distance vision.

Extended Corridor Progressive Lenses

Extended corridor progressive lenses are designed for people who have a stronger prescription or need a wider reading area. These lenses have a longer progression of power from the top of the lens to the bottom. This design allows for a wider reading area and better distance vision.

At EyeCare Group downtown Edmonton , we offer all three of these designs, as well as other specialized designs, to meet your specific needs. Our opticians will work with you to determine which design is best for you based on your prescription and lifestyle.

It’s Important to note that not all progressive lenses are created equal, even within the same design. There are different materials, coatings, and treatments that can affect the clarity and durability of your lenses. That’s why it’s important to work with a trusted optometrist and optician who can guide you through the selection process.
