Single Vision Lenses

Single Vision Correction for Myopia, Hyperopia, and Presbyopia

Single vision lenses are designed to correct vision at a specific focal distance—either for distance or near vision. Below is how single vision lenses help address different vision conditions.

Myopia (Nearsightedness) – Single Vision Distance Lenses

Issue: Distant objects appear blurry, while near objects remain clear.
Cause: Light focuses in front of the retina due to an elongated eyeball or a steeply curved cornea.
Correction:
- Single Vision Distance lenses use minus (-) power to refocus light onto the retina, restoring clear distance vision.
Best for: Driving, watching TV, reading street signs, and recognizing faces from a distance.

Hyperopia (Farsightedness) – Single Vision Distance or Reading Lenses

Issue: Both near and distant objects can appear blurry, depending on the severity of hyperopia.
Cause: Light focuses behind the retina due to a shorter eyeball or a flatter cornea.
Correction:
- Mild hyperopia: Distance vision may be relatively clear, but near work can cause eye strain or discomfort.
- Moderate to high hyperopia: Both near and distant vision can be blurry, requiring correction.
- Single Vision Distance lenses help improve far vision, while Single Vision Reading lenses enhance near focus.
Best for:
- For near vision strain: Use Single Vision Reading lenses for reading, smartphone use, and detailed tasks.
- For general vision correction: Use Single Vision Distance lenses for everyday activities.

Presbyopia (Age-Related Near Vision Loss) – Single Vision Reading or Distance Lenses

Issue: Difficulty focusing on close objects, often requiring reading materials to be held farther away for clarity.
Cause: As the eye’s natural lens loses flexibility with age, the ability to focus on near objects gradually declines.
Correction:
- Single Vision Reading lenses (+ power) are commonly used to enhance near vision, improving clarity for reading and close-up tasks.
- However, for those with existing myopia, Single Vision Distance lenses (- power) are often required to maintain clear distance vision.
- Since presbyopia progresses over time, lens prescriptions may need adjustments as vision changes.
Best for: Reading, using a smartphone, sewing, working on a computer, and other close-up activities.
