ARE ALL MULTIFOCAL LENSES THE SAME?

In short, the answer is no. At Lake Oconee Eye Care we offer the latest in Essilor’s lens technology. Did you know Essilor invented the very first progressive lenses in 1959? Since then, they have been constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to bring you sharp, more natural vision with smooth transitions from near to far offering clearer vision throughout, unlike the distracting lines of a bifocal lens.

Progressive lenses correct more than one vision condition, with the focal power “progressing” from top to bottom without a visible line separating them. Our Lake Oconee Eye Care team is available to help you learn more about how our multifocal lenses can best fit your needs.
