Single Vision Lenses
One prescription power across the entire lens for clear vision at one distance
What are Single Vision Lenses?
Single vision prescription lenses contain the same amount of vision correction over the entire lens. These lenses can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Single vision lenses are the most common type of prescription lens and are suitable for people who need correction for only one field of vision – either distance or near vision.
Types of Single Vision
Distance Vision
For seeing clearly far away – driving, watching TV, recognizing faces. Corrects nearsightedness (myopia).
Near Vision (Readers)
For seeing clearly up close – reading, sewing, detailed work. Corrects farsightedness (hyperopia).
