Progressive lenses were created to meet the need for dynamism, as they allow sharp vision at all distances, starting from far, intermediate and finally near.
In this way with a single eyeglass the wearer is able to meet most of his or her visual needs. A real advantage, for example, for all those who wear reading glasses but can’t stand the constant “put on and take off.” Not only that, but also so that you don’t always have to change pairs of glasses depending on the situation the Progressive lenses are the ideal solution.
The latest generation of progressive lenses, also called freeform, are variable inset lenses with addition and distance power, or custom inset lenses.
This state-of-the-art technology allows for optimum amplitude of functional areas even in the presence of high ametropias, high astigmatisms or oblique astigmatisms, and most importantly, to control the magnitude of peripheral aberrations, the direction of induced astigmatisms, magnification and prismatic effects in the near zone.
The best progressive lenses offer a hive sharp vision in all areas of vision, eliminating the sway effect, making smooth transitions between far, intermediate and near without the need to move the head to find clean vision zones.
Thus, the comfort derived by choosing the best progressive lenses is truly remarkable compared to inferior lenses. We at Bottega di Sguardi,
opticians in Florence
with many years of experience, offer our clients only high-quality progressive lenses to ensure an optimal visual experience in every situation.
It is of paramount importance that the progressive lens is perfectly centered, otherwise the eyewear will not deliver on the promise of dynamism, comfort and sharpness, but on the contrary will be a harbinger of a whole range of physical and psychophysical ailments.
In the case of progressive lenses that are not centered, not insignificant problems can also arise, manifested by various symptoms such as:

First, theinset is the distance between the area for near relative to the reference vertical for far.
Speaking of inset types of progressive lenses it must be said that the Progressive lenses were born fixed inset but, over time, through countless research we have arrived at thevariable inset with the value of the addition and power of the far, and at thecustom inset, so you can get in ocular rotation the channel always clean, without aberrations of any kind.

Progressive contact lenses, on the other hand, are ideal for people who play sports and wear glasses with progressive lenses, so they will be able to feel comfortable even in situations not suitable for wearing glasses.
For some specific activities and/or work, however, they are not recommended, especially with additions exceeding +2.00, since then it becomes difficult to correct all distances as with ophthalmic lenses.
Progressive contact lenses are designed with different corrective powers that allow the patient to see both distant, intermediate and near objects sharply.
Daily progressive contact lenses are recommended for those who wear them sporadically while monthly progressive lenses are recommended for those who use them daily.
As with monofocal contact lenses, there are pros and cons to progressive contact lenses.
Exaggeratedly prolonged wearing can trigger a mechanism of intolerance by the eye, which cannot oxygenate and nourish itself sufficiently as long as the contact lens is worn.
A well-balanced port allows one to return to seeing at all distances and thus enjoy more dynamic activities without having to wear glasses at all.
As previously mentioned, it is critically important to center progressive lenses well so that the patient does not assume postural vices in order to see clearly through the affected lens zone.
Such attitudes can lead to physical disorders such as neck pain. It is, in fact, important to take a proper history in order to propose the best solution for the client’s needs, as each face has its own frame just as each eye has its own lens.
