How Do Multifocal Lenses Work?

Multifocal lenses incorporate a progressive power change from top to bottom. The graduated lens design provides clarity across three general zones, ensuring seamless vision at multiple positions.

Distance vision: Walking, driving, and everything else well beyond arm’s length.

Intermediate vision: The car dashboard, computer and anything at around arm’s length. 

Near vision: Close tasks such as reading, writing, and phones.

Multifocal Glasses: Tailored to Your Needs

You may need vision correction for one or two of these zones or all three. Multifocal lenses can be tailored to suit your specific needs.

Are you tired of swapping your single vision glasses between tasks?

With all the multitasking life demands, multifocal lenses may be the answer!

Multifocal Lens Options

Standard: Entry level multifocal lenses may be suitable for first-time wearers with lower prescriptions.

Premium: Mid-tier multifocal lens designs may suit higher power prescriptions and improve wearer comfort. 

Elite: Digital lens designs for clearest vision to suit varied and demanding lifestyles.

Multifocals Excellence

As technology has improved the designs of multifocal lenses and price has become more competitive, choosing a ‘premium’ or ‘elite’ lens may be more affordable than you think, with or without a health fund.

When it comes to multifocal lenses, good enough isn’t in our vocabulary. At Optical Superstore, we focus on prescription lens designs tailored to meet modern demands. Here’s your streamlined guide to the best lenses for various lifestyles:

HT Precision

HT Digital Plus Defined

HT Digital Plus Panorama

HT PRECISION

HT Precision could be described as our “classic all-rounder.” A multifocal lens design that offers generous clarity throughout each zone for a balanced and consistent outcome for wearers.

Suitable for beginners to experienced multifocal wearers.

Included within our No & Low Gap offers for Health Fund members.

Adaptable lens design which accomodates different frame sizes.

HT Digital Plus Multifocal Options

Our HT Digital Plus lenses are our top-tier digital multifocal lenses.

We offer two lens options in this range:

HT DIGITAL DEFINED

The HT Digital Plus Defined is ideally suited to people who spend a lot of time on close tasks, such as reading and digital devices while still requiring distance vision. 

Note how the distortion zones on each outer side of the dots are pushed out, providing a wider clear reading zone and a generous intermediate zone, resulting in a superior lens for concentrated tasks and close work.

HT DIGITAL PLUS PANORAMA

The HT Digital Plus Panorama provides a more expansive distance zone for a generous field of view while still allowing good close vision.

Note how the distortion zone is pushed down and out, providing a superior distance zone which prioritises distance vision needs whilst maintaining the ability to read.

Lens Designs for the Modern Workspace

These digital multifocal lenses are designed for a modern lifestyle catering to different prescriptions and task requirements. Explore our range below:

HT Computer

The HT Computer is the ideal lens design for anyone working with computer. It provides a wide intermediate zone with comfortable reading.

HT Indoor

The HT Indoor includes reading and close vision and extends to an intermediate zone. This allows clear vision up close and within a large office space.

HT Indoor Plus

The HT Indoor Plus lens design is similar to HT Indoor but with more distance vision available to walk around large office spaces.

Multifocal Sunglasses

Enjoy the convenience of multifocal lenses offering sun protection. Multifocal sunglasses can be tailored to your specific needs. The HT Precision is also available as a polarised lens design, however any of our  lenses can be UV-tinted as prescription sunglasses.
