Understanding Free Form vs Conventional

Progressive lenses and freeform progressive lenses are both multifocal lenses that correct presbyopia, a natural change in vision that occurs as we age. There are, however, some significant differences between the two.
Progressive lenses, also known as traditional progressive lenses or standard progressive lenses, have a progressive change in prescription from top to bottom. They provide multiple prescriptions in a single lens and allow the wearer to see clearly at all distances. Some wearers, however, may experience distortion or a limited field of vision in specific areas of the lens.
In contrast, freeform progressive lenses use advanced digital technology to create a customised lens that is specifically tailored to the wearer’s prescription, frame, and individual needs. This technology provides a wider field of vision while also reducing distortion, resulting in sharper and more accurate vision. Freeform progressive lenses also provide better peripheral vision and less blur, which can be especially useful for activities like driving.
In conclusion, while both progressive lenses and freeform progressive lenses effectively correct presbyopia, freeform lenses provide superior vision quality due to their customised design and use of digital technology. They may, however, be more expensive than traditional progressive lenses.
