There are a wide range of glasses and lenses available online. When we take into account variations such as single vision lenses, bifocal lenses and varifocal lenses it can very quickly begin to get confusing! But fear not, Reglaze4U are here to guide you through the process.
What Are Single Vision Lenses?
Single vision lenses’ principal focus is to correct a single vision zone, as opposed to multiple vision zones. If you only need glasses for one type of vision, your optician may prescribe single-vision glasses with lenses designed to help people who require correction of farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism. Most people that wear glasses usually get this type.
To put it simply, you might need to wear single vision reading glasses to correct your eyesight if you have difficulty reading text on your phone or computer screen. Otherwise, you might need single vision distance glasses to help you make out traffic signs while driving.
Single vision glasses have just a single optical prescription correction and they distribute focus evenly over the entire surface area of the lenses. Single vision prescriptions only state one type of corrective power which can be plus or minus. If you have multiple prescriptions, you would require bifocal or multifocal glasses.
How many types of Single Vision Glasses are there and how much do they cost?

- Standard 1.5 Index standard plastic lenses are the industry’s basic material.
