As we age, the natural ability of our eyes to focus on close objects gradually diminishes, a condition commonly referred to as presbyopia, typically starting around the age of 40. Health Today offers advanced solutions for this age-related vision change through high-quality bifocal and progressive lenses. Bifocal lenses feature two distinct viewing areas for distance and near vision, separated by a visible line. Progressive lenses, on the other hand, provide a seamless transition between multiple fields of vision within a single lens, eliminating the line and offering a more modern solution for clear vision at all distances. We proudly carry top brands such as Nikon, Hoya, and Essilor, ensuring our customers receive the best progressive lenses available.
Adjusting to progressive lenses can take some time, but with a few tips and practices, you can make the transition smoothly and enjoy the wide range of vision benefits these lenses offer:
These tips can help minimize initial discomfort such as dizziness or the feeling of swimming at the lens edges, common when adjusting to progressives.

Progressive lenses offer a smooth, gradual transition between multiple prescriptions, providing clear vision at all distances without the age-revealing bifocal lines.
Designed to mimic natural vision, progressive lenses allow you to switch from reading to computer work to gazing into the distance effortlessly and without changing eyewear.
Progressives eliminate the bifocal line, offering a more youthful appearance and a wider field of uninterrupted vision.
Both bifocal and progressive lenses are tailored to meet your specific vision needs, ensuring optimal comfort and functionality.
