How are bifocal and varifocal glasses different?

Many people tend to get confused between bifocal and varifocal glasses. While both of these are prescription glasses that people with both low and near vision needs, they are still different. 

Bifocal glasses 

Bifocal lenses have two prescription powers on their surface. A small segment in the lower part of the lens is made to give you a better near vision for reading, the rest of the lens area is reserved for distant viewing. These different vision fields are separated by a thin visible line on the lens surface. 

Varifocal glasses 

Varifocal lenses also known as progressive glasses have three optical powers for near, distant, and intermediate vision. And they are not divided by segregating lines on the lens surface. Thus, varifocals are made for a smooth transition that does not get in the way of how your glasses look. 

Which one to buy?

People favor varifocal lenses more than bifocals as the smooth and seamless transition gives them a more stylish look. However, varifocal lenses are more costly than bifocals, thanks to their pleasing aesthetic. But, if you have your heart set on them, you can buy online glasses and save money on your glasses. Online retailers such as Specscart deal in affordable eyewear be it varifocal or bifocal. 

If you need two distinct prescriptions and don’t mind the line on your lenses, you will do good with bifocal lenses. However, if you are all about function and fashion when it comes to glasses, prescription glasses with varifocal lenses are the right choice for you.
