How to choose the best frames for progressive lenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n
![\"the](\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/JM-alder_KD-spruce_0065.jpg\")
<\/p>\n\n\nOptometrists say that you need to find a frame shape that can accommodate a lens height to fit your entire range of vision (reading, intermediate, and distance prescriptions) within your progressive lenses. Does that mean certain frame styles won\u2019t work? More on that later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe ideal lens height or frame depth that\u2019s required to experience clear and comfortable vision is at least 28mm,\u201d Chua says. Here\u2019s, how to find frames with the ideal lens height for your progressive lenses: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Shop our selection of progressive eligible frames<\/a> (with a minimum lens height of 28 mm)\u00a0<\/li>
- If you\u2019re faithful to a specific brand or frame shape, select \u2018Prescription Eligible\u2019 using the filter for features on our website menu to narrow down your frame choices\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Wondering which\u202fglasses\u202flook best\u202fon your face shape? Check out our face shape guide for glasses<\/a>. The best frame shapes for progressive lenses are:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Round glasses frames<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n
Round frames<\/a> offer a studious charm that brings style and personality. Walsh says they\u2019re ideal for people with a high prescription because \u201cround lenses can be surfaced thinner than any other shape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

According to Dr. Asgarpour<\/a>, Day<\/a>, Walsh, and Chua, the most common frame shapes and styles that aren\u2019t recommended are:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Extreme cat-eyes and aviators, because the design can cut off some of the reading portion of the lens <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/derek-cardigan-callisto-54-matte-black-front-angle-1024x355.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Oversized or really narrow and shallow frames, because they can change the way that distance, intermediate, and near vision correction are fitted into the lens (affecting where you look through within the lens) <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/main-and-central-wilbon-57-black-gold-front-angle-1024x355.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Wraparound frames like sports glasses: because the design is stretched, it can interfere with the dynamic of a progressive lens <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\nHow to be sure your progressive lenses are fitted correctly<\/strong><\/h2>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2021-01_2021-01_LOVE-LIFESTYLE-1-0281-1-1-scaled.jpg\")
<\/p>\n\n\nAdjusting to progressive glasses<\/a>\u00a0normally takes a bit of time \u2013 anywhere between a few days to two weeks. If you notice that you\u2019re able to maintain your natural posture when looking through your new progressives without having to tip your head up and down to see properly (when reading a book or walking down the stairs), that means they\u2019re perfectly fitted: your prescription is centred in the lens and the lens matches up with your pupil.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before ordering a pair of progressives, your eye care professional will take these two measurements: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Pupillary distance (PD):<\/a> the distance between the centre of your pupils determines where your pupils sit behind the lens before the lens is cut to fit the frame, to ensure that the prescription is centred on your pupils\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Segment height: the height between the centre of your pupil and the bottom of the lens for each eye (where extra magnification for nearer viewing begins and increases as your eye travels downward through the lens)\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re ordering your new pair of progressives<\/a> online, make sure to enter the details from your most recent multifocal prescription (including your PD). Our system will automatically calculate your segment height.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, once your progressive glasses have been made with your prescription, your optician or eye doctor will ensure they fit well for you and make any final adjustments if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if visiting an eye doctor near you<\/a>\u202fis not possible or if you ordered online, contact us<\/a>\u202fby giving us a call at 1-800-639-478.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Five tell-tale signs your progressive lenses are poorly fitted<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"signs](\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2016-07-29_staff-feature-eugenie_094.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n\n\n1. You\u2019re having trouble finding the reading area of the lens while maintaining a normal posture<\/strong>. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Your segment height<\/a> or PD measurements could be different than your actual measurements, or they might have been mounted incorrectly. If that\u2019s the case, contact us<\/a>\u202fby giving us a call at 1-800-639-478.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s how to measure your PD<\/a> at home. Be sure to take your time and do it a few times to ensure accuracy. Whenever possible, we recommend getting those measurements from your eye care professional<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The peripheral areas are blurry. <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Your frames might be too far away from your eyes. Move your frames closer to sit higher on your nose by adjusting the height of your frames<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid moving your eyes to look left or right. Instead, move your head or use your nose like a camera and point at what you want to look at. Learn how to adapt to wearing progressive glasses<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. You tilt your head up and look through the lower part of lens to read.<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour lenses might be sitting too low on your face and your frames need to be raised,\u201d Day says. Tighten the temples of your glasses (for plastic frames) or move the nose pads closer (for metal frames). Then, test them out: look down the lens and point your nose at your reading materials until the text comes into focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn how to adjust glasses<\/a>. If necessary, visit your\u202fnearest eye care professional<\/a>\u202fwith your glasses: your lenses might need to be refitted.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. You tip your head or glasses down for distance vision. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Your frames might be sitting too high on your nose and your frames need to be lowered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loosen the temples of your glasses (for plastic frames) or push the nose pads apart (for metal frames). Then, look straight ahead and make sure your vision is clear while looking into the distance. Pro tip: point your nose toward or look at an object at least 20 feet away until it comes into focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn how to adjust glasses<\/a>. If necessary, visit your\u202fnearest eye care professional<\/a>\u202fwith your glasses: your lenses might need to be refitted.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Your distance vision is blurry and you\u2019re having trouble finding the distance vision area of the lens while maintaining your normal posture. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you lower your chin to look through the upper part of the lens, you\u2019re looking through the beginning peripheral areas of the lens. If that\u2019s the case, your frames need to be lowered. <\/p>\n\n\n
Multifocal lenses: Progressives vs bifocals<\/strong><\/h2>\n
![\"progressive](\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/progressive_premium_ca.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n\n\nProgressive lenses, such as Standard Progressive and Premium Progressive lenses<\/a>, offer more benefits than bifocals (which only allow for distance and near vision correction, without intermediate vision).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With progressive lenses, you\u2019ll be able to see at all distances, including the intermediate vision that you need to clearly see things within an arm\u2019s length, like your car dashboard, computer screen, kitchen counter top, or grocery store shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Progressive lenses don\u2019t have a visible line across the lens like bifocals (that separate the two different prescriptions, which causes \u201cimage jump\u201d\u202fwhen you switch focus between near and far). This means you can expect a seamless transition when you switch focus between various distances. Of course, the subtle, stylish finish of progressives is a huge perk, too <\/p>\n\n\n
Ready to choose your progressive glasses?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
You\u2019ll enjoy the advantages of progressive lenses when they are correctly fitted to your frames \u2013 and of course, when you also have the right frames to fit your face, and you’re well-adjusted to wearing them<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re unsure how to find the right frames or lenses, contact us<\/a>\u202fby giving us a call at 1-800-639-478.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
