Progressive Lenses in Honolulu
At Simply Eyes Hawaii, we know how important it is to see clearly at every distance—whether you’re reading a menu, working at your computer, or enjoying the island views while driving. Progressive lenses give you smooth, natural vision from near to far, without the visible lines of bifocals or trifocals. Our Honolulu optometrists specialize in custom progressive lens fittings so you can enjoy comfortable vision all day long
What Are Progressive Lenses?
- Progressive lenses are advanced eyeglass lenses that correct presbyopia, the age-related condition that makes it harder to focus up close. Instead of separate sections for near and distance vision, progressives use a seamless design that blends all three zones:
- Distance vision at the top of the lens
- Intermediate vision (like computer work) in the middle
- Near vision (like reading) at the bottom
No more switching between multiple pairs of glasses—progressives do it all
