What material is best for progressive lenses?

Polycarbonate Progressives
Polycarbonate Progressives Polycarbonate Progressive Lenses are ultra light weight and extra impact resistant. Recommended for low to mild prescriptions.

What does PAL stand for in progressive lenses?

The progressive addition lens (PAL) is a spectacle lens design with progressive refractive power changes across the lens surface to provide sharp vision at different viewing distances for patients with reduced accommodative strength.

Why are my new progressive lenses blurry?

It’s normal for your new eye prescription to seem blurry at first. Having blurry vision could also be a sign that your PD (pupillary distance) is off and that you need to return your progressive lenses.

What are the types of progressive lenses?

There are several different types of progressive lenses, including:

• Computer progressive lenses.
• Premium progressive lenses.
• Ground-view progressive lenses.
• Standard progressive lenses.
• Short corridor progressive lenses.
• Transition progressive lenses.

Why do my progressive lenses have distortion?

The design of progressive lenses will allow you to see clearly at all distances, but it also creates aberrations in the lower periphery of the lens. These aberrations will cause slight blur and distortion and are more obvious when looking far right or left especially through the bottom of the lens.

Why can’t I get used to my progressive lenses?

Your brain has to adjust to different strengths as your eyes move around the lenses. That’s why you might feel dizzy. Older people who’ve never worn multifocals before may need lenses with a big change between the top and bottom of the lens. They may need a little longer to adjust.

Are progressive lenses supposed to be blurry on the sides?

It’s an error called surface astigmatism that is present in all progressive lenses. Blurred peripheral vision is not necessarily a sign that you need to get them fitted again. You should be able to see clearly near and at a distance in your progressive lenses as long as you are standing in your natural position.

What does a Pantoscopic tilt mean?

Pantoscopic tilt is a measurement we take that analyses the angle from the bottom of your glasses (at the cheek) to the top of the frame. Some glasses have flat frames, but most will tilt slightly, so the top portion of your glasses is slightly further from your face than the bottom.

How does Pantoscopic tilt affect vision?

Pantoscopic tilt is a position of wear measurement that affects how the lens is positioned in front of the patient’s visual axis in the primary gaze position. Adding pantoscopic tilt to a lens made with the OC centered at a 90 degree angle to the patient’s visual axis will induce oblique aberrations.
