Progressive lenses are one of the most important and exciting advancements in the optical field – and if you’ve visited us, you know we can’t stop singing their praises! This multifocal lens allows you to see clearly at all distances and unlike bifocals, there is no visible line getting in the way of your vision or hinting at your age!
There are many benefits of wearing progressive lenses including:
- Clear vision at all distances. These lenses allow you to seamlessly transition between tasks like reading, driving, or using your computer
- Better aesthetics. The elimination of the line (such as that found on bifocals or trifocals) creates a more modern and aesthetically pleasing look.
- Comfort and convenience. The design of a progressive lens enables a more natural posture and relaxed visual experience, improving your overall comfort and quality of life.
Like all lenses, it can take some time to get used to your progressive spectacles. Luckily, we’ve created a comprehensive guide for first-time wearers to make your experience seamless and more enjoyable.

6 Tips For Getting Used to Your Progressive Lenses
Whether you are wearing progressive lenses for the first time, have recently updated your prescription, or are exploring a new progressive design, it’s important to understand that adapting to your new spectacles can take some time.
However, it’s a simpler process than you might think! Here are 6 tips to help you get more comfortable with your progressive lenses.
- Consult Your Optometrist
When it comes to progressive lenses, there is no one-size-fits all approach. At Eyecare Consultants, we offer a range of different progressive lenses to cater to individual needs. Our licensed optometrists will conduct a thorough eye assessment to ensure your lenses are correctly measured and centred, which will help with a quicker adaptation.
- Take it Slow
When you first start wearing your progressive lenses, it’s perfectly normal to feel slightly disoriented. Consider wearing your new glasses for brief periods throughout the day, gradually increasing the amount of time. This way, you’ll be able to reduce discomfort while helping your eyes adjust to the new lenses.
- Be Consistent and Don’t Switch to Your Old Glasses
While you can take things slow as you adjust to your progressive lenses, you should try to wear them consistently throughout the day. This also means sticking to your new spectacles. Avoid switching to your old pair or contact lenses, as this will make it harder for your eyes to adapt.
- Maintain Proper Head and Eye Movements
The right head and eye movements are critical with progressive lenses. Practice pointing your nose toward your focal point and let your eyes follow. This will ensure you use the correct part of the lens and reduce any initial sensations of swimming or swaying.
- Check Your Frame Fit
An improper frame fit will interfere with how you see through your progressive lenses. They must fit snugly and align correctly with your eyes. Our expert team will help you choose the ideal frame for your new lenses and we can adjust them for optimal comfort.
- Keep a Positive Mindset
It sounds simple, but approaching your new lenses with an open mind and positive attitude will make a big difference. Remember that it will take time for your eyes to adjust but with patience and practice, you’ll feel comfortable wearing your new glasses.
