Wearing the Focals

Things never stay the same. It doesn’t matter which product we think about; whether it is clothing or food, housing or socializing, trends keep on changing over time. The same rule applies to prescription glasses. Technology and human being’s strong need for all things new has resulted in many changes in this sector too. Think back to your grandmother or rather great-grandmother’s time. In her old age, she used to have 2 different pair of glasses, one for the near-sightedness and one for being able to see far. Today, you can have both visions in one pair of glasses.

Bifocals and trifocals are commonly worn these days. The most popular design in bifocals is called the flat top (FT) or straight top (ST) design. With an FT-28, for example, you can be very comfortable for both your near and distance visions. But, if you’re concerned about your immediate vision i.e. the distance at arm’s length, you can also go for trifocals. These have a thin ribbon-shaped lens segment directly above the near segment, which makes it easy to concentrate on the objects in your immediate line of vision. Again, just as bifocals, a FT-28 or FT-35 design falls in the post popular variety. The right vaifocals depend on your eyesight needs and your age.

If you are over 40, you might have started suffering from symptoms of age-related near-sightedness while your distance vision might be perfectly fine otherwise. If that is the situation, let us help you with a free eye-test first. Specsdirect2u offers a variety of varifocal lenses to provide not just 2 but actually 3 different visions in one lens. You can visit any of our outlets in Glasgow or, if you like, we can provide you an eye test at your choice of location, at absolutely no charge.

Remember, when going for varifocals, it is extremely important to select the right opticians. The right qualifications and expertise will help you find out how many visions you need in your varifocals. We can also test your eyes to check if your near-sightedness is the result of some other complications or problems. As with any other medical problem, correct diagnosis is the root for having the right treatment.

Once you have a prescription for the lenses, you can then browse through our large range of designer or budget frames to select one that suits you best.
