About this service
Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses, also called multifocal or no-line bifocal lenses, correct vision at multiple distances in a single lens without a visible dividing line. The top portion corrects distance vision, the middle corridor corrects intermediate distances such as a computer screen, and the lower portion corrects near vision for reading. Progressive lenses require precise fitting to your pupillary measurements and facial geometry to perform well. At Prime Optometrists Auburn, all progressives are fitted using accurate measurements taken at the time of dispensing.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to adapt to progressive lenses?
Most wearers adapt within one to two weeks. During this period, some peripheral distortion is normal. Moving your head rather than just your eyes helps with adaptation. If discomfort persists beyond two to three weeks, return for a recheck.
Are all progressive lenses the same?
No. Standard progressive lenses have narrower viewing corridors and more peripheral distortion. Premium designs offer wider corridors and softer transitions. The right choice depends on your prescription, lifestyle and previous experience with progressives.
Can I use my health fund for progressive lenses?
Yes. Progressive lenses with a prescription are claimable under private health fund optical extras. We process claims on the spot via HICAPS. No-gap options may be available depending on your fund and benefit level.
I tried progressives before and couldn't get used to them. Should I try again?
Yes, in many cases. Poor adaptation is often related to inaccurate fitting measurements or an inappropriate lens design for the prescription. A refit with precise measurements and a premium lens design resolves the issue for many patients.
