What to check before ordering
Bifocals divide the lens into a distance area and a near segment with a visible line. The add power on the prescription helps determine the near correction.
Frame depth matters because the near segment needs useful vertical room. Compare lens height and how the frame sits before choosing a very shallow shape.
Ask which bifocal segment style is offered and where it will be placed. PD and fitting measurements should be reviewed before production.
Compare bifocals with progressives when deciding whether a visible line, a wider near area, or an intermediate zone matters most.
Order review checklist
- Confirm the prescription is current and readable.
- Measure PD or choose to send it later before production.
- Compare frame measurements against a pair that already fits.
- Review lens material and coating choices before submitting.
- Save the order number for tracking and support.
