MULTIFOCAL LENSES
In this article, we define glasses as a set of frame and lens. The starting part will be focusing on multifocal lenses and the later part will talk about frame and essentially the whole glasses.
Have you ever felt like you need to remove your glasses to be able to look at the menu, books or even phone and it only gets worse along the way? This is because you are developing Presbyopia.
Rest assured, you’re not alone in this. At ages above 40 everybody starts to develop presbyopia.
WHAT IS PRESBYOPIA?
Presbyopia is a natural aging process which causes your eyes to lose its ability to focus objects or prints that are close to you (about an arm’s length). There are no specific cures to this other than a proper corrective lenses to assist you in your daily lifestyles.
WHAT IS MULTIFOCAL LENSES
Multifocal / Progressive lens is a type of lens that consist of various portions of prescriptions. It is able to assist in getting a clear vision at all distances such as distance portion for far objects, intermediate portion for laptop work and near portion for reading small prints.
WHEN DO I NEED MULTIFOCAL LENSES
If you are at the age of 40 years and above and is starting to experience a little bit of straining when it comes to reading small prints or having to move a little further just to be able to see more comfortably or even having to remove your glasses to be able to read, this could already be a sign for you to consider multifocal lenses.
WHY MULTIFOCAL LENSES
With its various portions of prescription in a single lens it provides convenience for day-to-day activities. Being able to look at far menu in a takeaway restaurant and also reply to your friends and family at the same time will save time and effort.
As we live in this new generation where lifestyles are quite hectic and the relationship of outward appearances with age is sensitive, we would not want to trouble ourselves with switching between 2 glasses all the time or having to remove our glasses whenever we are trying to read because it will be inconvenient.
Before wearing multifocal
- Small text is not clear
- Keep adjusting glasses and books
- Look old and inconvenient
After wearing multifocal
- Convenient
- No need to adjust the glasses or laptop
- Look young without vision issue
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FRAME FROM MULTIFOCAL: SIZE, HEIGHT, NOSEPAD
When it comes to wearing multifocal lenses it is important to choose a suitable frame to fit the lens in. This will provide a better adaptation and a wider area of clear vision. This is due to a blur zone that is developed at the side of the lens when there are various prescriptions done in a single lens.
Look for Asian Fit designed frame. The suitable frame for a multifocal glasses should have an average frame size of 46-54mm to ensure less blurriness at the side of the glasses. The frame height needs to be of 38-41mm so the full reading zone can be included in. A frame with nose pad will definitely come in handy as it gives you more comfort to achieve full reading comfort without compromising the movement of your head.
We have a series of designs that are suitable for multifocal lenses.
More designs can be found here.
HOW TO ADJUST TO MULTIFOCAL GLASSES
It is important to take precaution when wearing multifocal glasses especially if it is going to be your first time. You will be required to adapt to the new wearing style for example rotating your eyes down while maintaining the same head angle when reading fine prints. Furthermore, tilting your head down while walking down the stairs is compulsory to ensure walking on the right step.

Great service and really fast to get my spec ready within 2 days. I was served by Izzo and Vivi, they were really helpful in picking the most suitable frame and lens based on my lifestyle and occupation. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family.
Just booked myself a pair of glasses from Pott and had the best experience ever. Highly recommend making an appointment before visiting (can be done online) because it can get super crowded especially on the weekend. Received the kindest service from Ben who helped me pick out a pair of frames and from Aquila who helped check my eyesight and gave me detailed explanation every step of the way. Glad I decided to give Pott a try 🙂
This optical shop has a variety of trendy and fashionable specs. Service is great! Was served by Izzo & Rainnie, they are patient in recommending the spec frame according to our lifestyle and face features. The power testing was also well explained which helped me in selecting the best lens suitable to my daily need & budget. Had a great time here! 🫶🏻
A huge thanks to Aquila for the amazing service & assistance! He’s very friendly & generous with advices. The way he interacted with me made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole personalized fitting session. Definitely zero hard-selling, no rushing me into anything. He made sure to explain everything so that I would understand them. Would 110% recommend this shop and Aquila to all my family & friends who needs a new pair of glasses!

Recently got my 3rd pair of glasses from Pott Glasses & why I keep coming back is the detailed service & trendy glasses selections. Was served by Aquila & his service was really good & detailed. He measured my face to recommend me suitable glasses based on my face shape. I really loved the recommends & went with 1 of his choices as my final pick (excited to collect it next week!! 😂) The eye test was clear, concise & he even suggested some quick fixes in my lifestyle to reduce my backache & eye strain problems.It was a super pleasant experience & would highly recommend getting your glasses from them ☺️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I went yesterday to the store and had a great experience getting a pair of prescription glasses. The optometrist that attended to me, Vivi was such an attentive and nice person, she is very knowledgeable, and gave me a lot of advice on how to take care of my own eyes. She made sure I spent time walking around getting adjusted, feeling comfortable with the settings before putting it down for the order. Atmosphere was cosy and comfortable, just like a Cafe. Parking is available if you made a booking and I recommend going there and asking for Vivi when you want to get your next pair of glasses.
The staff here are very attentive and professional in their advice and service. Have consistently come back to replace my glasses. The model of glasses available are current trends and price wise are reasonable. The shop has a very nice ambience and ample parking available.
This optical brand has a wife variety of trendy and fashionable specs. Service is good and the staff was very attentive and provide recommendation according to our lifestyle, including frame that suits our face features. No hardselling of lenses or function, recommended me the best package that suits my needs and current lifestyle. After sales service is good as well. Highly recommended!
Had my first visit to Potts SS2 today after hearing about it for years and my first experience definitely did not disappoint. Despite coming in close to closing time @ 8.10pm, Aquila was incredibly kind and patient in helping me pick out a frame that I absolutely love, and in that process he helped me understand what face shape and structure and what suits me and what doesn’t. He was very patient in the process and articulate in explaining to me what works and what doesn’t. The personalised eye care check up was also great - a lot of my past experienced felt rushed - Aquila really took his time to make sure that I understood what was happening and the power was suitable. He then took time to explain to me about how to care for my eyes - such top notch service. Being someone that never really felt confident to wear my current glasses out, I am so excited to receive my new pair! Thanks Aquila for your time!
It's been 3 years since my last medical check up. I typically visit local spectacle shops so this is my first time with a boutique. Pott glasses came highly recommended by people around me.The shop has many modern frames and I particularly loved the titanium series. Vivi was the one serviced me that day. Super helpful, genuine and gave me a lot of options which was important for me. She also follow up really well and she even checked in with me 2 weeks after the sale to see if it's working well for me.All in all, great experience. Will come back for my backup. Thanks!
Recently dropped by Pott Glasses SS2 branch several times to realign my glasses. Despite the fact that it was only a realignment for a pair of glasses bought (from Pott Glasses) a long time ago, Aquila was very patient and helpful in catering to my questions/requests and explaining what the issue might be.The shop space is also very bright and spacious, with sitting space to wait to be served if needed. The only issue is that the parking space at the shop itself is limited, but parking at SS2 and walking over is fairly convenient.Overall, Pott Glasses' friendly and thorough service extends beyond the initial purchase, and I will continue to recommend my friends to purchase their glasses here.
i can say in malaysia it was the best optical shop . A very comprehensive explanation and journey on my eye test, so far the best eye test i had been experienced throughout my life. Another wonderful highlight is using based 5 different factors to determine the spectacle that suit me. Will certainly come visit and recommend to people's around.
The best glasses buying experience ever! The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful, assisted in choosing the right frame based on multiple factors, and the eye test was very comprehensive. Superb service from start to finish!
Tip top service from Debby. A very comprehensive explanation and journey on my eye test, so far the best eye test i been experienced throughout my life. Another wonderful highlight is she based 5 different factors to determine the spectacle that suit me. Will certainly come visit and recommend to people's around. Thumb up! Keep up the good work.
Always been my go to optical shop. The personalised service is really impressive, and the staffs are really passionate about eye care. For those who would like to get a new pair of spectacles, give Pott Glasses a try!
Had been wearing glasses since young but I can say that this is the first optical shop that I’m really satisfied with the overall services. The team was very attentive and patience with all the questions I have. They also provide solutions on how to manage and take care of my eyes who have very big power differences between my right and left eyes. Would highly recommend to everyone who is looking for a new glasses! 🙂
Decided to visit Pott Glasses SS15 store after seeing numerous good reviews online, it did not disappoint 🙂 Made an appointment before visiting the shop, so no waiting time needed.Throughout the process from choosing frames to eyesight checking, Sally is very professional and help to choose the one that suits me. Happy with the service and highly recommend here 🙂
Great experience choosing glasses here and the customer service is top notch.Elijah provided an exceptional service! He gave genuine advises on which frame for which face type etc. He is very helpful and accommodating with my request. He explained the details well and unlike others, he can make good suggestions on what fits you and what is worth it. There are also follow up messages on your experience with the new glasses and offers free maintenance.Would love to recommend my friends to come have their glasses made!
Potts is the most comprehensive optometrist I’ve been to! Been wearing glasses since I was a kid and they did in-depth tests + explained things I never even knew before! I’m super happy with my glasses and the people were fantastic throughout, even the after sales service! Huge thanks to Debby and everyone else in the SS15 branch for being the best. ✨
The service is excellent! Ting ting is patient and have tons of knowledge in explaining the process, and I felt very comfortable. Kiki is very friendly, and patient with me when I’m choosing my glasses, definitely the best experience I had so far. Definitely recommend this place! Don’t wait!
Very professional service, they would pick frames suitable for you based on your face shape. Both Kiki and CY were very patient when measuring my eye power and providing explanation.They also provide pretty good after care services.
Great and fast service, with a beautiful selection of trendy frames. I went back a day after my initial collection date of glasses to adjust the fitting on my face..and the person who attended to me meticulously fixed it and ensured it fitted well on me with no fuss at all. Great service indeed! 🤗
Just bought a second pair of glass from Pott Glass after 3 years. The shopping experience is wonderful and the staff is very helpful in getting the pair of glass of your need while suits your face type. All kinds of design are available. Had the pleasure to be served by Edward and the experience is smooth and comfortable.
The staffs here - Chiaying and Xuejing are super friendly! They did recommended me frames that I never thought would suit me. The process later such as eye checking and after services are good too. Highly recommend if you're keen to get a pair of affordable and stylish specs, would definitely come back tho 🙂
Just had my first pair of glasses purchased here last week, I’m glad that i made the right choice. The staff are patience enough to guide me thru the frame selection and eyes test, and they never hard sell on their product, the first time I came they even rejected me due to I have sore eyes, which they thought it will affect the accuracy of the eye test. They just do their best to ensure a customer get a fit pair of glasses but not just to earn money, bravo.
I had a wonderful experience at the glass shop and would like to share my glowing review. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The glass shop boasts an impressive array of beautifully crafted products, each one reflecting the skill and dedication of their artisans. Whether it was the intricately designed stained glass windows, the elegant glassware, or the mesmerizing glass sculptures, every item showcased unparalleled artistry and attention to detail. The knowledgeable staff was more than willing to assist me in finding the perfect piece, patiently answering my questions and providing valuable insights. Moreover, the glass shop's commitment to quality was evident in the durability and exquisite aesthetics of their products. It's not just a store; it's a haven for glass enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship. I left the glass shop feeling delighted and inspired, carrying with me a stunning glass creation that will be cherished for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend the glass shop to anyone seeking exceptional glasswork and a memorable shopping experience.
Edward was really friendly and my whole experience did not felt akward though this was my first eye test in 8 years. Very helpful and knowlegable staff with a comfortable environment
Knew this brand from a KOL. After doing a few researches, i decided to give it a go.When I stepped in, JH was the staff who served. JH is a truly patience, he explained all the process from choosing the specs, to picking the right lens until explaining about the functions and price.Overall the experience is very good and can’t wait to collect the specs
Lovely place to do a new pair of glasses. They are able to make a new lens for my existing frame which is still in decent condition. Affordable prices too.
Have a great experience making spectacle. JH attended me until after working hour. He is a friendly and able to help me choose the spec that is suitable for my face. Recommended!
The team is very attentive and have a lot of patience as well! Love the designs too, plenty to choose from!
Bought a glasses last year. Their services overall is pretty good. Was attended by Louis at Sri Petaling branch. Explained clearly even without I asked. This what I would feel secure on the product and their services too. Their after sales service is good too.
The optician provide a good service by providing a proper consultation on my eyes condition & my new lance power.Beside that, all the spectacles here light & comfortable, staff here is quite friendly.My optician & service is under the staff name KK which given a very good service.

He gave good recommendation in glass frame selection that suit my needs as well. Highly recommend this optical shop to everyone!
I've been to the same branch for 3 times in a year and both my parents and I are happy with their service. We were served by different person before, and each of everyone of them are genuine to the customers. Appreciate the effort and also the patience when they spoke to my parents, and also to a person like me who wear spec for the first time.Most importantly, they are not pushy for their products, they introduce the best and most suitable products to you. You can decide what you want without feeling uncomfortable. Highly recommended! 🙂
Dropped by on a Sunday to get a pair of new glasses and I'm glad to say, the service here is very professional and really over the top. They offered their help by assisting you throughout the whole process, from eye testing to the explanations. With Louis, my purchase was a breezy experience. Highly recommended!
Louis, the attendant of the day, was very professional. He was recommended a few glasses based on my face shape, lifestyle, preferences, etc and his selections were on point.He's thorough in taking my reading and he's precise when it comes to explanation. And just like the other attendant (whom I forgotten to ask for the name while I went to pick up/adjust the glasses), he's friendly.Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and would return for its great service. 👓
My visit here was my first time and I am very happy with their service. They were very thorough in their tests and took time to explain (in simple terms) which was important to me as someone who never wore specs before. The whole process was smooth and comfortable. And you know, when it's your first time for anything, you can get bit nervous and intimidated by the unknown. But I was put at ease by their personable and easygoing approach. They also took measurements of my face to suggest several frames (and I got compliments from my colleagues on my new look). More than happy to highly recommend this place.
Have been going to many different type of optical store previously. But I will rate Pott Glasses the best one. 10/10 customer service and they provide wide variations of spectacles designs. Most importantly latest trendy designs 😆I was first attracted by the service they provide such as the staff will pick spectacles based on our skin colour, face shape, working lifestyle and outfit to suit us the best. Such exciting and attractive selling point. 😍Amazing customer service they have even though I was being picky and couldn’t make decisions with what kind of glasses I wanted. Thank you so much for being so friendly and patient, I am super satisfied and happy with the glasses. Definitely will recommend Pott Glasses to my friends and family who wants to get their glasses done. Good job and keep up the good work! ✨
Had a decent experience getting my new pair of glasses replaced! Staff was helpful to assist! Happy purchase 😊
Great staffs here! Very friendly and attentive since my first glasses purchase up to my regular adjustments/ usual upkeep visits👌 all glasses frames here are in trend and stylish and place is cozy and welcoming!
I needed new glasses and came across Pott Glasses as I was walking by. The experience Eric and his female staff provided for me was excellent! They helped explain to me the condition of my eyes and suggested the right type of lenses and power for me. After I got my glasses Eric always kept me updated on how my condition was as my power increase a lot and if I needed any adjustment to come by anytime so I may be at comfort. If you need glasses please come by to this branch, the staff will help you with everything.
One of the employees, Eric offered a really good service. He's friendly, helpful, and take the time to listen to and address any questions or concerns I have. The atmosphere within the shop is comfortable and inviting, with a clean and organized layout. I feel welcomed and valued.
I recently purchased a new pair of specs, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the great service I received from Pott Glasses Sri Hartamas. The design is sleek and modern, and the fit is incredibly comfortable. The lenses are crystal clear, providing me with excellent vision no matter the lighting conditions.What really impressed me, though, was the outstanding customer service I experienced with Eric. He was quick to respond to my inquiries with a attitude of friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in making sure I was satisfied with my purchase. The specs were also delivered promptly within 3 days and arrived in perfect condition.One thing I really appreciate about these specs is the attention to detail in the construction. The materials feel high quality and durable, and the hinges and screws are solidly built, making me confident that these specs will last me for years to come.Overall, I highly recommend Pott Glasses to anyone in the market for a new pair. They're stylish, comfortable, well-made, and come with top-notch customer service, making them an excellent investment in both fashion and function."I hope this helps!
If I could rate more than 5 stars then I would. The service is exceptional, from booking an appointment, to the consultation all of of it was a breeze. The consultants made sure we were very comfortable and made sure that I selected the right glasses according to my face shape.
Eric is very helpful equipped with essential sense of fashion. He is professional and I highly recommend everyone to try out their service and product here. Frame and lenses are affordable and welly done.
Came over as i was curious about Pott Glasses through their IG ads. Eric their optic stylist was very professional, helpful and patient to help me find a pair of glasses that I was comfortable and confident with. Would highly recommend dropping by with an appointment for a visit!
Overall, good experience at Pott Glasses which located at Sri Hartamas. Honest and trustworthy optician, very good services. Provide good explanations and will give recommendations on which type of the spectacles are more suitable to you based on your face shape, your career professional and etc. The charges is reasonably as well. Recommended!
A very pleasant experience dealing with staff at Pott Glasses. Carefully explain my eye condition, helped me with my styling and choosing the proper frame according to my size. Made a pair a months ago and now collecting my second pair of frame with Pott Glasses. Continue the good service!
Great experience at this branch! The staff, Eric was extremely helpful, he even recommeded frames which are suitable for your lifestyle, face shape. Reasonable price, excellent service!
I’m not really the kind of person who would give reviews here in google. Ain’t got no time 😂 but this, I had to. Because I love their after-sale service. Very warm, friendly and accommodating. I broke mine and they replace a new glasses for free, additionally with a new spectacle case. Like whutttt
Eric is patient and professional in explaining to us on the type of glasses to wear. He also shared tips on how to take care of the eye sight to avoid further strain. Good customer experienced.
Not only do they have an excellent range of glasses & contacts lens to choose from, they’re always absolutely ace in service! When I had a hard time choosing a frame, Ken recommended the pair I now wear and constantly get complemented for! I’ve also had a few (I’ll have to admit kinda ridiculous) demands for them & they’ve never once failed to come through. Loyal customer for life!
Visited Pott Glasses after seeing their amazing reviews here and indeed they did not disappoint. From the initial consultation to collecting my glasses, it was truly a great experience overall. Ken was super patient and helpful from our first visit, not to mention he has a good eye for choosing the perfect pair as well. Gave great advice and recommendations on glasses that best suit my face, style and personal preference. Currently loving my new glasses, will definitely return in the future!
