Why wear progressive or 'progressive' glasses
These are some reasons why we say yes to the use of glasses with progressive lenses
The first question that we must answer before starting to talk about progressive glasses is to know what they are and why we should use them. The so-called 'progressive' allow you to see with total sharpness and clarity near, far and also in an intermediate vision area.
If you suffer from presbyopia, myopia or hyperopia, you no longer have to suffer the hassle of using two different glasses to solve it. Progressive glasses use a single lens with special characteristics typical of advanced optical technology. There are all kinds of opinions regarding the choice of progressive lenses over other options such as single vision or bifocal glasses. What are really the advantages of wearing progressive glasses?

They are the most complete glasses. The design of the lenses allows you to see at different distances and focus correctly.
