Successful adaptation to progressive lenses involves many factors. When you visit Santa Fe Optical , our experienced opticians will determine the best lens for your prescription and needs. We only use top of the line lenses from innovators such as Zeiss , Pentax , and Varilux . We will carefully select appropriate frames, and measure accurately for your lenses. Your order will then be entrusted to our on-site lab technicians, or a select lab that is best suited for your custom prescription order.
Some activities are simply better suited for single vision, or single purpose lenses.
Progressive lenses are multi function lenses that allow you to see clearly at many different focal lengths. For instance, while driving you can see distant traffic, your fuel gauges, and your watch all with the same pair of glasses. However, progressives do become less practical if you are using your eyes for a specific activity. Examples include, reading for long periods of time, playing sports, or watching television while reclining. Under these circumstances many people are more comfortable with the wider area provided in a single vision lens.
