FAQ
What is a “clear-top bifocal” lens?
A clear-top bifocal has an unmagnified upper portion (for distance or regular vision) and a magnified lower segment (for reading or close work). The top remains “clear” (no added magnification), while the lower area provides the bifocal power you need.
Who is ideal for clear-top bifocals?
Clear top bifocal glasses are a good fit for those who need reading magnification but have normal or mild vision in the distance range. If your distance prescription is minimal or none at all, clear-top bifocals let you enjoy magnification below without affecting your distance vision.
How quickly can I adapt to clear-top bifocals?
Most users start feeling comfortable within 3–7 days of regular wear. Your eyes and brain gradually learn to look through the bottom for near tasks and the top for distance. If minor discomfort occurs, it usually fades as adaptation occurs.
What if I find nearby objects blurry or distorted at first?
That’s normal during the adaptation phase. Try holding reading material slightly lower and look straight through the lower portion. Avoid tilting your head excessively. Often, continuing usage and gentle practice help overcome initial distortion.
Can I drive using clear-top bifocal glasses?
Yes, as long as you are comfortable wearing them and the distance portion aligns correctly with your eyes. During driving, your gaze uses the upper, non-magnified area, so the lower reading segment won’t interfere.
What should I do if discomfort or visual oddities last beyond two weeks?
If after two weeks you still experience persistent headache, persistent blurring, or dizziness, contact our customer support. We’ll review your prescription with you, help confirm correct power & segment placement, and advise on next steps or possible exchange.
