What are single vision lenses? Single vision lenses have a single power, or one range of vision. In other words, they are not bi-focals or progressive lenses.
Single vision lenses are used for everyday activities like driving (framesdirect.com/shop-by-sport/driving-glasses-dp), reading, and using computer screens (framesdirect.com/shop-by-sport/computer-eyeglasses-dp). Single vision lenses are also used for reading glasses to correct presbyopia, which is when you have trouble focusing on objects at a close range.
Single vision lenses come in a wide variety of materials (framesdirect.com/knowledge-center/lens-materials) and coating options (framesdirect.com/knowledge-center/lens-add-ons), including standard plastic, polycarbonate, and high index.
