Lenses
Single Vision
Single vision lenses are the cheapest and most common type of eyeglass lenses. They have the largest field of vision because they only correct vision at one specific distance. This separates them from the multifocal lenses described below.
Bifocals
Bifocal lenses are multifocal, meaning they have two different "powers" in them. These different sections of the lens correct distance vision and near vision.
Bifocal lenses are prescribed for people with multiple vision problems.
Trifocals
Trifocal lenses are similar to bifocals. But they have an additional power to correct intermediate vision. For example, the intermediate portion may be used to view a computer screen.
The main shortcoming of bifocals and trifocals is that they have a distinct line between each field of vision. This makes the sections of the lens produce drastically different vision. Most people get used to this and don’t have an issue. But this drawback has led to the development of more advanced lenses, such as progressives.
Progressives (no lined multifocal)
Progressive lenses are another type of multifocal lens. They work for anyone who needs bifocals or trifocals. Progressive lenses provide the same correction for near, intermediate, and distance vision. They do this without the lines between each section.
Many people prefer these multifocal lenses because the transition between fields of vision is smoother.

Photochromatic (Transition) Lenses
Photochromatic lenses, commonly known as Transitions, are a popular choice. They darken when exposed to UV rays, eliminating the need for sunglasses. They’re available in all prescription lens types.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Anti-reflective coating, also called AR coating or anti-glare coating, eliminates reflections from your lenses. This increases comfort and visibility, especially when driving, reading, or using a screen at night. It also makes your lenses nearly invisible so that others can see your eyes through your lenses.
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses are a type of treated lenses designed to reduce glare and eye strain, improving vision and eye safety outdoors.
