Single Vision Distance lenses are used to correct your distance vision to see at a distance like driving or when you're out and about. They're designed for people with myopia (nearsightedness).
Single Vision Near lenses are used to correct your near vision to see things up-close like reading. They're for people who suffer from hyperopia (farsightedness).
In most cases, a prescription can be used for both long and short vision correction and prescription safety glasses can be used for all your optical needs. If you are unsure, seek advice from your optometrist.
