What are Single Vision Lenses?

Single Vision Lenses are the most commonly used, they have the same prescription (POWER) across the lens which is why they're called SINGLE vision. Correction of both near (MYOPIA) and farsightedness (HYPEROPIA) is corrected whilst wearing these lenses.

 

Astigmatism is where the natural lens or cornea has lost its shape causing focusing to become difficult. This is also corrected within the lenses alongside the near or farsightedness. Your Optician will advise on what activities you must wear glasses for.
