If you need glasses to see both near and far, you may have heard of progressive lenses. Progressive lenses are a type of multifocal lens that provide a smooth transition from distance to intermediate to near vision, without any visible lines or segments. They are designed to mimic the natural function of the eye and provide a more comfortable and natural vision.
However, not all progressive lenses are created equal. Some progressive lenses are outdated and can cause more problems than they solve. This is especially true for online progressive lenses.
Online progressive lenses are those that you order from an online retailer, such as Warby Parker, Zenni Optical, or others. While these online retailers may offer low prices, trendy styles and fast delivery, they may not offer the best quality, fit and service for your progressive lenses.
Here are some reasons why online progressive lenses are outdated and not good for your vision:
- Online progressive lenses are not customized to your individual needs and preferences. They use a predictive “one size fits all” measurement for progressives ordered online, instead of taking the actual measurement in the store. This can result in poor fit, alignment and comfort. You may also experience distortion, blurriness, glare and headaches.
- Online progressive lenses are an old entry-level design that have very narrow zones of clear vision. This means that you have to move your head a lot to see clearly at different distances, which can be annoying and tiring. You may also miss important details that could indicate a problem with your eyes or health.
- Online progressive lenses are not comparable to the premium lenses offered by other brands, such as Nikon, Zeiss, Hoya, etc. These brands use advanced digital technology and materials to create progressive lenses that are more precise, adaptable and personalized. They also offer features such as blue light protection, anti-reflective coating, UV protection and scratch resistance.
- Online progressive lenses may not match your prescription accurately. This can compromise your vision quality and safety.
So what can you do about it? If you are unhappy with your online progressive lenses, you have some options:
- You can switch to another brand of progressive lenses that suits you better. There are many brands and types of progressive lenses available on the market today, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. You can consult with your eye doctor or optician to find out which one is best for you.
