I wear bifocals/trifocals or progressive lenses in my eyeglasses. How does that work with CraftOptics?

If you wear progressive lenses, bifocals or trifocals, you will be joining a large majority of CraftOptics customers who do the same.

In your CraftOptics frame, we install your prescription as a bifocal, which provides a large near correction for easy near vision. We typically install your distance prescription in the upper part of the frame.

 

When you flip the magnifiers up and look down at your work, you will see through that large near correction. When the magnifiers are in the down position, they set right in front of your near correction in the frames. You will be able to see over them, through your distance correction in the frames (to watch TV, for example). This configuration is by far the most common.

NOTE: The price for your set of CraftOptics includes your prescription/correction, whether you wear prescription eyeglasses or readers. There is no extra charge for our standard lenses based on the strength of your prescription or prism.

Remember, you don’t have to have a copy of your prescription on hand when you order. You will be given the option to either email a photo of it to us or have us call your optometrist to get it for you.

If you aren’t sure what to do, please give us a call at 888 444 7728 and we can give you some assistance, or send an email to info@craftoptics.com. We have plenty of experience guiding people through the options that best fit your needs.
