What’s difference between bifocal glasses and reading glasses?
Reading glasses generally refer to eyeglasses with prescription lenses for reading and most up-close use; these prescription glasses can only be used when looking at close objects and are generally required for presbyopic patients. Bifocal glasses, on the other hand, as the name suggests, have two focal points on one lens and can be used for both distance and close up viewing. Bifocals are the perfect solution for both nearsighted and farsighted patients who only need to wear one pair of prescription eyeglasses.
Should I get bifocals or reading glasses?
In general, whether you wear reading glasses or bifocals depends on two things. First, your doctor's optometry results and eye prescription order recommendations. Second, whether you need to use both near and far vision most of the time you are there, such as when you are going about your daily work and life. So, now you know how to choose.
