Digital Progressives

Standard Progressives

Key Hole Effect
(Viewing zone sizes)

Increases the field of vision thereby improving performance.

Viewing zone sizes get smaller as add power increases.

Curve Change
(Blur and Distortion)

Freeform lenses reduce unwanted astigmatism and reduce blur and distortion. Freeform lens fix produces a WOW factor.

The curve change, from distance to near, creates unwanted astigmatism and increases as add power increases causing distortion and blur.

Variable Inset
(Intermediate and near vision)

Variable Inset places the near zone correctly in front of converging eye making better near and intermediate vision.

The near zone is typically inset farther sacrificing the near and intermediate vision.

Cylinder Power
(reduced clear vision area)

With precision back surface freeform lens the axis shift is optimized so the clear vision area is not sacrificed.

As cylinder Rx's get stronger, the shift in axis significantly reduces the clear area of the vision.
