What is the difference between single vision distance and near?
Single vision distance lenses are prescription glasses designed to correct vision at one specific range - typically for seeing distant objects clearly.
They are ideal for people with refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) and are commonly worn for driving, watching TV, or seeing clearly when you're outdoors. These lenses feature one, uniform prescription across the entire lens, providing consistent clarity for distance vision.
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.
