Types of Prescription Glasses
| Type | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Single-Vision Glasses | Distance or near correction |
| Progressive Glasses | Distance, intermediate and near vision without a visible bifocal line |
| Bifocal Glasses | Distance and near correction using a visible segment |
| High-Index Glasses | Thinner lens options for suitable stronger prescriptions |

Single-Vision Prescription Glasses
Single-vision lenses provide one prescription across the lens and may be prescribed for distance, reading or another specific visual requirement.
Lens thickness and appearance depend on prescription, lens material, frame size and lens design.
Progressive Prescription Glasses
Progressive lenses combine distance, intermediate and near correction in one lens without a visible dividing line.
Accurate prescription, pupillary measurements, fitting height and appropriate frame selection are important for comfortable progressive-lens performance.
Bifocal Glasses
Bifocal lenses provide separate distance and near viewing zones. They remain an option for selected patients who prefer a clearly defined near segment.
High-Index Thin Glasses
Patients with stronger prescriptions may benefit from high-index lens materials that can reduce lens thickness compared with some standard materials.
Frame size, prescription strength and lens design also influence final thickness.
High-Index Ultra-Thin Lenses →
Computer & Office Glasses
People working for long periods on computers may require a prescription designed around their actual working distance.
The appropriate lens depends on prescription, screen distance, working environment and individual visual needs.
Photochromic Prescription Glasses
Photochromic lenses remain relatively clear indoors and darken under suitable UV exposure outdoors. Performance varies by product and environmental conditions.
Prescription Sunglasses in Kathmandu
Prescription sunglasses can be useful for driving, outdoor work, travel and trekking. Suitable options may include tinted or polarized prescription lenses depending on prescription and product availability.
Children's Prescription Glasses
Children's glasses require an accurate prescription together with a comfortable, appropriately sized and durable frame.
Children showing signs such as squinting, difficulty seeing the board, sitting very close to screens or frequent headaches may benefit from professional vision assessment.
ZEISS & Premium Prescription Lenses
Vision Concern provides selected premium prescription-lens options including ZEISS products according to prescription, lens requirement and availability.
The most suitable lens should be selected according to actual visual requirements rather than brand or price alone.
