Multifocal glasses also known as progressive glasses is a type of glasses that consist of different prescription within the same pair of glasses.
It is useful for people of age 38 and above who have developed presbyopia (cannot see small words clearly, 老花).
How does multifocal glasses work
Multifocal consists of multiple focus points with different prescriptions. This is to cater adequate power for wearer to see object of different distances clearly.
The image below illustrates the different level of prescription in the glasses.
From the image, you can see that
- The top part is used to see far object
- The middle part is used to see intermediate object
- The bottom part is used to read book or phone messages
Don’t worry, you do not need to keep adjusting the glasses up and down. Your eyes will adjust and fit in well.
Who needs multifocal glasses?
Anyone with age of 38 and above will start to develop presbyopia. The symptoms of presbyopia are as follow :
- Have to remove existing glasses when you read phone message
- You extend phone a little further so that the messages get sharper
- You put on reading glasses when you read and remove it when you are not reading
Well, if any of these bothers you, you may want to consider multifocal glasses. It provides the convenience for you the see clearly without the hassle of changing or alternating glasses or changing the reading distance.
BEFORE
- take off glasses to read

- Lifestyle oriented eye test. It’s not just about getting sharp vision, but also comfortable vision to wear for the entire day. Too sharp may give you headache. We need to find the balance.
- Detailed explanation. Our optometrist will explain about your eye condition and also how to utilise multifocal so that you get the best out of it.
- Personalised frame selection. Instead of going for the biggest or most trendy frame, we will pick one that suit you most in terms of look and wearing comfort.

I came to make new glasses, a multifocal. Usually it will be ready within 2 weeks, but requested them to expedite as I need it quite urgent for travel. It was ready less than a week.
Friendly and attentive service, though I think not much option for frame.
Rainnie the optician was very good, she calmly explained each step.
Very satisfied, highly recommended
