Tips for Success When Adapting to Progressive Lenses

For first-time progressive wearers;

• Get used to your new lenses while sitting down, in front of television is ideal

• If you are struggling to find the reading zone re-orient yourself by looking straight ahead then look down to read again
• Remember the golden rule; point your nose to where you want to look
• In time it is likely you will be able to walk up and down stairs, but take care and tuck in your chin and point your nose to your toes – take glasses off if you are uncomfortable
• Extreme care is recommended when driving; do not use new progressives if you are not confident in the early days.

Previous Progressive Lens Wearers;

• It is likely the strength of your prescription has increased, and your lens design may have also been changed
• These changes require adaptation time, similar to when you first got progressive lenses
• Follow the above tips especially for finding the reading zone

Previous Occupational Progressive Lens wearers;

• Your lens design has changed from a lens specific for reading and desk use.
• As you now have three focus zones instead of two you will be aware of peripheral distortions more.
• Most importantly allow time to adapt to new lenses.
