While searching for your next pair of eyeglasses online, you might come across several terms to describe eyeglass lenses like “single vision,” “bifocal,” “progressive,” or “multifocal.” But now you’re probably wondering what single vision glasses are.
Single vision eyeglasses are the most popular type of prescription lenses and correct for one field of vision. Single vision glasses are commonly used for nearsighted or farsighted users and those with astigmatism to help see at a distance of up to 30 feet. They can also be used for other common daily activities like reading, looking at a computer screen or driving.
