What are progressive lenses?

Progressive lenses provide distance, intermediate and near vision in one lens without a visible bifocal line.

Who needs progressive glasses?

They are commonly prescribed for people over 40 who have difficulty focusing on near objects while also requiring distance correction.

How long does it take to adapt?

Adaptation varies from person to person. Many wearers adjust within several days, while some may need longer.

Are premium progressive lenses better?

Premium designs may provide wider usable zones, greater personalisation and improved comfort, depending on prescription and fitting.

Can progressive lenses be used for computers?

Yes. However, customers who spend most of the day at a desk may also benefit from a separate office or workspace lens.

Can I drive with progressive lenses?

Yes. Properly prescribed and fitted progressive lenses can support distance and dashboard vision.

Can strong prescriptions use progressive lenses?

Yes. High-index materials may be considered to reduce lens thickness for suitable strong prescriptions.

Can tourists order progressive lenses in Kathmandu?

Yes. Vision Concern serves tourists and expats, although customised lenses may require additional production time.

Can I send my prescription through WhatsApp?

Yes. Send a clear prescription copy and previous lens details to +9779841466716.

What should I ask before comparing progressive-glasses prices?

Request the exact brand and progressive design, lens index and coating, frame price, fitting charges and collection date. Ask which measurements are needed and what support is available after collection. Quotes for different designs are not directly comparable even when both are called progressive lenses.

Do I need to visit for progressive fitting measurements?

A prescription alone does not provide all frame-specific fitting information. Arrange a visit with the frame you intend to use so the team can take the required manual measurements and check fit. Confirm appointment availability, final specification and total price before ordering.

Where can I buy progressive or multifocal glasses in Kathmandu?

Vision Concern offers progressive glasses and multifocal lens consultations at Lazimpat, Boudha-Tushal and Makalbari. ZEISS, HOYA and TOKAI options can be compared according to your prescription, frame, daily distance and reading needs, material and budget. Confirm the exact design, fitting measurements, full price and delivery time before ordering.

What should I compare when choosing the best progressive glasses in Kathmandu?

Compare the exact progressive design, your prescription, frame suitability, fitting measurements, material, coating, total quote, expected delivery and adjustment support. The best choice depends on the wearer. Vision Concern uses an autorefractor for refraction and takes manual fitting measurements.

Where can I get multifocal glasses near Thamel, Boudhanath or Baluwatar?

Thamel and Baluwatar customers can contact the Lazimpat branch at Das Tower near Radisson Hotel. Boudhanath customers can contact Boudha-Tushal opposite KFC. Ask for a progressive or multifocal spectacle-lens consultation, which is different from a multifocal contact-lens fitting.
