What Are Progressive Lenses? Explained Simply

Written By Courtney Dryer

What are progressive lenses? It’s a question many contact wearers ask. Progressive lenses, also known as multifocal lenses or PALs (progressive addition lenses), are a type of lens designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances without the need for separate pairs of glasses.

PALs are primarily used to treat presbyopia, an age-related condition that affects the eye’s ability to focus on up-close objects. Progressive lenses provide a smooth and seamless transition between different prescription strengths within a single lens.

Unlike traditional bifocal or trifocal lenses, progressive lenses do not have visible lines separating the different prescription strength zones. Instead, the lenses gradually change in power from the top (distance vision) to the bottom (near vision), with intermediate powers located in between.

The lens is divided into three parts:

Distance vision: the upper portion
Intermediate vision: the middle portion
Near vision: the lower portion

Read on to answer the question of what are progressive lenses, and to learn all about these lenses!
