Look at a object that's more than six feet away. Turn your head slowly to the left, then to the right.

Eventually, the image will blur. If it blurs soon after turning, your lenses may not be giving you the wide clear vision they should. The same is true whether you're reading or watching television. With progressive lenses, you get maximum clear vision, no matter what you are doing.

Wider Areas of Clear Vision

Progressive lenses require sophisticated engineering to deliver the best optics for the thousands of different prescription combinations. These lenses ensure the maximum amount of clear vision available in a lens for your prescription. Close up or far away, without unnecessary head movement to get objects in focus.

 

Clear Comfortable Vision...

The first time. All the time. No matter if this is your first pair of progressives or your fifth, or even if you've worn bifocals, you'll be glad you chose progressive lenses.

From the moment you put them on, you'll actually notice your vision is clearer overall. No more eyestrain or fatigue at the end of the day.

Why settle for ordinary lenses when you can have progressive lenses?

Like many of my fellow Baby Boomer patients, I have been seeing more news articles and stories about celebrities and notable figures of our collective youth turning 50 or now 60. Unlike previous generations, the Baby Boomers have chosen to remain young in spite of what the calendar may tell us about our age. Along with this persistent vitality, Baby Boomers still need to cope with some inevitable changes, and of course, that means vision as well.

Fortunately, there are new technologies in the world of vision care that are being developed all the time. I recently spoke with a patient in her mid-50's who had stopped wearing contact lenses in her early 40's when her vision began to change due to presbyopia and the development of dry eye. While she considered laser vision correction, she decided it wasn't the alternative for her. And though she enjoyed glasses for the most part, this is a very active, outdoors-oriented woman. When she left her white-collar office work behind and headed outdoors, she felt her options were limited.

I introduced her to a new contact lens to try.

PureVision® Multi-Focal contact lenses by Bausch & Lomb are part of a newer class of contacts called silicone hydrogel lenses. In general, silicone hydrogel offers greater oxygen transmission to the eye, which creates a healthier-wearing lens. PureVision® Multi-Focal combines the new silicone hydrogel technology with the flexibility of extended wear and clarity to see well at every distance - near, far and in between. I fit my patient in this lens and after a short adaptation period, she now experiences the clarity she needs at every distance. She also says she doesn't have the drying sensation she felt when she was younger, which was the main reason she stopped wearing contacts in the first place. As a result, she is enjoying greater flexibility in her outdoor activities.
