what are progressive lenses?

Progressive lenses are eyeglass lenses with multiple prescriptions in a single lens. The top gives you sharp distance vision, the middle keeps intermediate distances clear, and the bottom lets you read up close with ease. The transitions are smooth, without visible lines, so you can enjoy comfortable vision wherever you are.

At Wink & See, these lenses are fully tailor-made. You’ll experience sharp vision at every distance, with one pair of glasses that does it all.

who are these lenses suitable for?

Progressive lenses are ideal for people who want clear vision both up close and at a distance. Do you use separate glasses for reading and distance? Then it’s time for one pair that combines it all.

They’re suitable for anyone from around age 40 who notices that reading is becoming harder, but still wants sharp vision at screen distance and on the go. Progressive lenses are available in almost any frame, with or without extra comfort options such as anti-reflection or blue light filter.

field of vision options

At Wink & See, you can choose from three vision field variants. The ultimate resolution field of vision offers the widest and most natural view, with minimal distortion at the edges, ideal if you wear your glasses often and value maximum comfort. With progressive lenses, the width of your field of vision determines how comfortably you see. The wider that field, the more relaxed your vision will be.

basic (included)

The basic progressive option is suitable for wearers with moderate needs. You probably don’t wear your glasses all day, just in certain situations such as driving or working at the computer. As with all progressive lenses, there’s no visible line between the different vision zones.

✓ smooth transition between zones
X narrow intermediate area and field of vision
X possible edge distortion

high resolution (+€29,95)

The high resolution progressive option is ideal for active glasses wearers. You wear your glasses throughout the day and in different situations: at work in front of a screen, driving to the tennis court, and going out for dinner in the evening.If that sounds like your lifestyle, this is the right choice for you.

✓ smooth transition between zones
✓ wider intermediate area and field of vision
X slight distortion at the edges

ultimate resolution (+€59,95)

The ultimate resolution multifocal option is designed for demanding wearers who value perfection and want exceptional vision in every situation. If that sounds like you, this is the best choice. It’s also our top-tier lens, offering premium quality, yet still very affordable compared to traditional opticians.

✓ smooth transition between zones
✓ sidest intermediate area and field of vision
✓ minimal edge distortion

In addition to your field of vision, you can also choose the lens type that best fits your eyes and prescription. That choice might seem tricky at first, but with a little explanation, it’s actually quite simple. We offer four quality levels, each differing in thickness, weight, and protection.

budget: the basic option, a great choice for low prescriptions.

standard: recommended for prescriptions above -3 or +3. These lenses are slightly thinner and come with an anti-reflective coating.

premium: our favorite and the most popular choice. These lenses are anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, UV-protective, and water- and dirt-repellent. Perfect for everyday use!

ultra: the thinnest and lightest lenses in our collection, ideal for higher prescriptions or if you simply want the very best.

As the names suggest, the Premium and Ultra lenses are our most advanced options. But the best choice is always the one that fits your eyes, your prescription, and your lifestyle. At Wink & See, we’re happy to help you find the right combination so you don’t just get any progressive glasses, but a pair that truly fits you.

multifocal or bifocal glasses?

At first glance, bifocal glasses may look similar but they’re not the same. A bifocal pair is actually the predecessor of modern progressive lenses: the difference lies in how the two prescriptions are built into the glass. With progressive glasses, the strengths blend gradually, creating a smooth transition. This allows you to see comfortably at any distance, without even noticing the change. With bifocal glasses, it’s different. The strengths for near and distance vision are sharply divided. You’ll often see a small segment at the bottom of the lens, that’s the reading area. This hard transition not only looks a bit dated, but it can also cause less comfortable or jumpy vision. Multifocal is simply another word for progressive and is 100% the same.

That’s why at Wink & See, we’ve chosen to focus exclusively on progressive glasses. They look better, feel more natural, and are much more comfortable for your eyes. Because clear vision is important but comfortable vision is just as essential.
