Progressive Lenses Buying Guide
If you’re debating the pros and cons of progressive lenses and which type is right for you, this helpful guide breaks down the features of our three progressive lens options, from entry-level to premium Omni-Vision HD lenses.
Progressive Lenses Explained
Progressive lenses hold three points of focus to create a convenient and undisturbed view for glasses wearers who require more than one prescription. The lens splits into three, with each section focusing on a different distance. Due to their design, you’ll experience peripheral distortion or ‘blurriness’ around the edges, which is rapidly reduced when opting for higher-quality lenses like our Omni-Vision HD.
Our Progressive Lenses
Omni-Vision HD
The Market Leader in Progressives
Offering the very best in progressives, these lenses make viewing everyday life seamless. They provide the widest field of vision for distance, intermediate, and close-up viewing – 50% more than our “good” lenses! With zero ‘wasted’ lens, any distortion is pushed to the very edge of your lenses. This removes blurriness that can lead to headaches and dizziness and makes them the quickest Progressives to get used to.
Pro-Series
Middle Entry Progressives
Our Pro-Series progressive lenses have a 30% wider field of vision compared to our “good” lenses. This larger area of viewing makes reading and viewing distance more comfortable, but there is still some distortion on either side of the lens. With time and practice, many wearers adjust well to these lenses.
Digital Freeform
Entry-Level Progressives
Our entry-level progressive lenses are a great option for occasional use or as a backup pair. They offer a narrower field of clear vision, meaning more peripheral distortion compared to premium options. If you’re looking for an affordable way to experience progressive lenses, this is a solid place to start.

Which Progressive Lens Is Best For Me?
The best progressive lenses offer the widest field of vision across the three focal points. This creates a smoother transition between distances, minimizes peripheral distortion and is easier to adjust to.
It’s important to note your budget, lifestyle and how often you’ll wear your progressive glasses. For those looking for a spare pair, our Digital “Good” lenses will do the job. If you intend to make progressives your everyday glasses, opt for our Omni-Vision HD “Best” lenses.
