this means you just have a prescription in your glasses or contacts that are correcting only for just distance correction or near correction. for example, rx could be -1.00 right eye and -1.25 left eye if you take that rx and make it -1.00 ADD +2.00 right eye, -1.25 ADD +2.00 left eye that is a multi focal rx. means correction for distance vision with a bifocal added to glasses for near vision.

What is a 1.57 mid index single vision lens?
1.57 mid index single vision lenses means that the lens is thinner than standard plastic lenses. It is not the thinnest possible, nor is it impact resistant like Trivex 1.53 mid index lenses, or polycarbonate. It will be thinner than either of those materials. Single vision means that there is one range of vision. If a bifocal lens is not prescribed, then this is what the vision is. When the prescription is a bifocal prescription, then either distance only or reading only must be chosen.

Can a single vision lens be made to correct presbyopia without having to go to a bifocal or trifocal lens?
Refine The QuestionBefore trying to answer the question the term "single vision" should be clarified. As I understand it, the term single vision is used by the eye glass industry to describe a single element lens with spherical front and back surfaces. Is that what the questioner means by a "single vision" lens? 1. Single vision lens means -the lens has only one power; Bifocal - two powers; Multifocal or progressive is self explanatory.2. Bifocals/Multifocals are prescribed to give good vision for long as well as short/near .3. Single vision lens can be made for presbyopia, if there is no power for long distance. The inconvenience is that you have to remove spectacles every time you see a distant object.4. Sometimes seperate glasses are prescribed for distance and near if someone is not able to adjust to bifocals.
