Updated September 2026. Prices below are catalogue planning ranges, not universal Nepal prices. Prescription, cylinder, diameter, index, coating, design, fitting measurements and stock determine the final quotation.
In Kathmandu and worried about your eyes?
Book an eye exam (NPR 400 ≈ US$3) with our English-speaking optometrists in Lazimpat, Boudha or Makalbari — exams by appointment; optical shops open daily 8 AM – 8:30 PM. Card & cash accepted.
Eye lens price in Nepal: three practical price tiers
| Tier | Indicative price (NPR) | Examples | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 — Everyday | 2,400-4,250+ | Standard single vision, ESSINOX Bluecare, Synchrony bifocal | Routine distance/reading correction, students and everyday wear |
| 2 — Digital & photochromic | 4,200-14,355+ | CLIFF Photo-Z/Drive Clear, Synchrony digital designs, selected ZEISS and photochromic options | Computer work, indoor-outdoor use, driving and upgraded coatings |
| 3 — Premium personalised | 7,900-41,410+; TOKAI 1.76 by quotation | ZEISS ClearView, DriveSafe, SmartLife and TOKAI 1.76 ultra-high-index | High prescriptions, progressive wearers and customised digital fitting |
Price interpretation: tiers overlap because lens index, prescription and coating change the cost. A lower-priced lens may be clinically appropriate; a premium lens is not automatically the best choice for every wearer.
TOKAI 1.76 vs ZEISS 1.74 high-index lenses
| Feature | TOKAI LUTINA 1.76 | ZEISS ClearView / Single Vision 1.74 |
|---|---|---|
| Refractive index | 1.76; TOKAI describes it as the world’s highest-index plastic spectacle-lens material | 1.74 high-index plastic option; availability depends on design and market |
| Abbe / V-value | 30 (manufacturer regional material specification) | Approximately 33 for typical 1.74 material; confirm the exact supplied material |
| Thickness above −6.00D | Potentially the slimmer material at equivalent prescription, diameter and geometry | Very thin; ClearView optimisation can reduce thickness versus conventional spherical lenses |
| UV / short-wavelength light | LUTINA filters UV and the 400-420 nm range according to TOKAI | UV and blue-management performance depends on the selected ZEISS material/coating, such as BlueGuard |
| Frame compatibility | Often strongest in a small, well-centred full-rim frame; rimless suitability requires lab review | Works with many suitable frames; prescription, groove/drill requirements and minimum thickness require review |
No fixed percentage-thinner claim is shown between these two products because finished thickness depends on prescription, centration, frame size/shape, minimum thickness and lens design. Request a thickness calculation using your prescription and chosen frame.
Order prescription lenses in three steps
- Upload your prescription: send a clear prescription photo and preferred frame details through WhatsApp.
- Verify the power: a certified optometrist reviews prescription age, sphere, cylinder, axis, addition and intended use; an in-clinic recheck may be advised.
- Complete digital fitting: visit Lazimpat, Boudha or Makalbari for monocular PD, fitting height and frame measurements. Collect in clinic or request eligible Kathmandu delivery.
Get an exact quotation: send your prescription on WhatsApp or call +977 984-1466716. Genuine branded lenses, professional verification and fitting are provided through Vision Concern.

Best Progressive Lenses in Nepal 2026 | ZEISS, HOYA & TOKAI Progressive Glasses
Looking for the best progressive lenses in Nepal, progressive lenses in Kathmandu or wondering “progressive chasma kati parcha?”? Vision Concern Eye Clinic & Optical provides professional eye examinations, precise progressive-lens measurements and premium multifocal lens options for clear distance, intermediate and near vision.
Progressive lenses may be useful for adults who need help seeing the road, computer screen, mobile phone and reading material without constantly changing glasses.
Ask About Progressive LensesWhat Are Progressive Lenses?
Progressive lenses are no-line multifocal lenses designed to provide different viewing powers through one pair of glasses.
| Viewing Zone | Common Use |
|---|---|
| Distance | Driving, television, signs and outdoor vision |
| Intermediate | Computer screens, dashboard and indoor tasks |
| Near | Reading, mobile phone and close work |
Who May Need Progressive Glasses?
Progressive lenses are commonly considered when presbyopia begins to make near work more difficult. You may notice that you hold your phone farther away, require brighter light for reading or keep removing and replacing glasses for different tasks.
- Difficulty reading small print
- Distance glasses must be removed for close work
- Separate distance and reading glasses are inconvenient
- Computer work requires another prescription
- You want one pair for distance, computer and reading
- You prefer a lens without the visible line found in traditional bifocals
Progressive Lens Success Depends on More Than Your Prescription
A premium progressive design alone does not guarantee comfortable vision. Accurate measurements, suitable frame selection and correct lens positioning are extremely important.
| Measurement | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Prescription | Determines required correction for each eye. |
| Monocular PD | Helps position each progressive design accurately. |
| Fitting Height | Positions distance, intermediate and near areas correctly. |
| Frame Selection | Influences usable lens area and final fitting. |
| Frame Adjustment | Poor alignment can affect comfort and clarity. |
ZEISS Progressive Lenses
ZEISS offers advanced progressive-lens designs that may be personalised according to prescription, frame and visual requirements.

TOKAI Progressive Lenses

Progressive Lens Price in Nepal
The price of progressive glasses depends on the lens brand, design, prescription, lens material, index, coatings, customisation and frame measurements. A basic progressive lens and a highly personalised premium progressive lens should therefore not be compared only by price.

| Personalisation | Limited | More parameters may be incorporated |
| Best For | Budget-conscious general use | Demanding work, digital use, premium comfort and complex prescriptions |
Progressive Lenses for High-Power Prescriptions
Customers with stronger prescriptions may benefit from combining a progressive design with an appropriate high-index material. This can help reduce lens thickness and improve the cosmetic appearance of suitable prescriptions.

Progressive Lenses for Computer Users
If much of your day is spent on a laptop or desktop monitor, tell the optical team about your normal working distance. Some users may benefit from a general progressive, while others may prefer an office or computer-specific design depending on their work pattern.

Why Do New Progressive Glasses Sometimes Feel Different?
A new wearer may initially notice that different parts of the lens must be used for distance, intermediate and near tasks. Some adaptation can be normal.
However, persistent blur, excessive swimming sensation, difficulty finding the reading area, poor computer vision or one eye feeling different from the other may justify rechecking the prescription, measurements, frame adjustment and lens positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Progressive Lenses in Nepal
1. Progressive chasma kati parcha Nepal ma?
The price depends on brand, lens design, prescription, material, coating and degree of personalisation. See Vision Concern's optical-lens price guide for current options.
2. Progressive lens ramro kun ho?
The best progressive lens is not necessarily the most expensive one. The appropriate design depends on your prescription, work, computer use, reading needs, driving habits, frame and budget.
3. Progressive lens kaslai chahincha?
Progressives are commonly considered for people with presbyopia who require different powers for distance, intermediate and near vision.
4. What age should I start wearing progressive lenses?
There is no single age. Presbyopia commonly becomes noticeable in adulthood, particularly when near focus becomes difficult. Your prescription and symptoms determine whether a progressive is appropriate.
5. Can progressive lenses replace reading and distance glasses?
For many suitable wearers, yes. Progressive lenses combine distance, intermediate and near powers within one lens.
6. Do progressive lenses have a visible bifocal line?
No. Progressive lenses provide a gradual change in power without the visible segment line of a traditional bifocal.
7. Progressive lens ma blur kina huncha?
Possible reasons include adaptation, incorrect prescription, inaccurate fitting height or PD, frame misalignment, unsuitable lens design or looking through the wrong area of the lens.
8. How long does progressive-lens adaptation take?
Adaptation varies between wearers. Many people adjust relatively quickly, while others need more time. Persistent difficulty should be professionally reviewed.
9. Are ZEISS progressive lenses available in Nepal?
Yes. Vision Concern provides selected ZEISS progressive-lens options in Kathmandu, subject to prescription and product availability.
10. Are HOYA progressive lenses available?
Selected HOYA progressive options may be available according to prescription and product availability.
11. Are TOKAI progressive lenses available?
Selected TOKAI progressive and high-index lens options may be available according to prescription and availability.
12. Can high-power patients wear progressive lenses?
Yes, in many cases. Appropriate high-index materials may also be considered to reduce thickness.
13. Can progressive lenses be photochromic?
Progressive designs can be combined with selected photochromic lens options depending on brand, material and prescription availability.
Selected progressive lenses can be combined with suitable coatings depending on the chosen product and prescription.
15. Are progressive lenses good for computer work?
They can be useful for many computer users. People who spend most of their day at intermediate working distances may also benefit from discussing office-specific designs.
16. Can I drive with progressive lenses?
Many adapted progressive wearers use them for driving because they provide distance and dashboard vision. Individual suitability depends on prescription and adaptation.
17. Can tourists order progressive glasses in Kathmandu?
Yes. Vision Concern serves tourists and expats, but customised progressive lenses may require production time. Send your travel deadline before ordering.
18. Can I send my prescription on WhatsApp?
Yes. Send a clear prescription photograph, previous lens information if available and your preferred branch to +9779841466716.
19. Where can I get progressive glasses in Kathmandu?
Vision Concern provides progressive-lens consultation through its Lazimpat, Boudha-Tushal and Makalbari branches.
20. Should progressive glasses be ordered without professional measurements?
Professional fitting is strongly recommended because prescription, monocular PD, fitting height, frame position and other measurements can influence performance.

Yes. Many visitors, particularly from Bangladesh and West Bengal (Kolkata), come to Nepal for cataract, retina, or other eye surgery at a hospital and also want new glasses, a general eye exam, or contact lenses at the same time, before or after their procedure. Vision Concern is an optical and eye-examination clinic, not a surgical hospital, so we work alongside hospitals such as Tilganga: we are happy to see you for glasses, contact lenses, or a routine check-up either side of your surgical treatment elsewhere.
No conversion is needed. Eyeglass prescriptions from Germany, France, the UK, the USA, China, Russia, and almost every other country use the same international format, SPH (sphere), CYL (cylinder), and AXIS, measured in diopters. Our opticians read this directly, so you can bring your prescription paper, a photo of it on your phone, or simply your current glasses, and we will use the same values. If your prescription is more than a year or two old, we recommend a quick, free re-check before we make your new pair.
Yes. Above roughly 3,000 metres, UV exposure increases sharply because of the thinner atmosphere and reflection off snow, and ordinary sunglasses (category 2-3) do not block enough UV to prevent snow blindness (photokeratitis). We recommend glacier glasses or category-4 sunglasses with side shields, and can fit these with your own prescription if needed. Vision Concern offers ZEISS polarized, UV400-certified sunglasses with prescription lenses, which we can prepare before you set off on your trek.
