Is this for you?
When should you consider progressive glasses?
Progressive lenses are commonly considered by adults who have difficulty focusing at near while still needing clear vision for distance. This becomes particularly relevant with presbyopia, an age-related change in the eye's ability to focus on close objects.
Reading is becoming difficult
You find yourself holding your phone, menu or book farther away to read comfortably.
You need different glasses
You switch between distance glasses and reading glasses during the day.
Near work feels tiring
Reading or close work becomes uncomfortable, especially when your near prescription has changed.
You want one pair
You prefer one pair of glasses rather than constantly changing between distance and reading glasses.

Lens selection matters
Not all progressive lenses are the same
Progressive lenses differ in their optical design, viewing zones, personalization and available coatings. The best option is not necessarily the most expensive lens. It should match your prescription, frame, working distance, visual habits and budget.
At Ottico Eyecare, we can discuss the available options and help you choose a progressive lens appropriate for how you actually use your glasses.
Your prescription
Your distance and near prescription influence the lens design and fitting requirements.
Your daily routine
Driving, reading, office work and prolonged screen use can influence which design is most suitable.
Frame selection
Frame size, shape and fit matter when positioning progressive lenses correctly.
Lens personalization
Higher-end designs can offer additional personalization depending on the lens manufacturer and prescription.
