Prescription Lens Options: Single Vision vs. Progressive LensesUpdated 2 hours ago

Fuse Lenses offers custom-created optical Prescription Replacement Lenses made to your exact doctor's prescription. Every pair is custom-manufactured in-house in our Palm Harbor, Florida optical lab.

We offer two primary prescription lens types: Single Vision and Progressive (Multifocal).

Available Prescription Lens Options

Lens TypePrimary Vision FocusDescription
Single VisionSingle Distance (Near OR Far)Features one uniform prescription power across the entire lens. Corrects either nearsightedness (distance) or farsightedness (reading/close-up).
ProgressiveMultifocal (Distance, Intermediate, & Near)Seamless, line-free transition across all viewing distances (far away, computer/dashboard distance, and reading).

Excluded Lens Types

Please note that Fuse Lenses does not offer the following lens options:

  • Traditional Lined Bifocals or Trifocals: We do not manufacture lenses with visible dividing lines across the lens. All multifocal prescription orders are crafted using line-free progressive lenses.

  • Over-the-Counter "Cheaters" or Unprescribed Readers: We do not offer generic, non-prescription reading lenses. All reading lenses must be ordered as custom Single Vision prescription lenses with a valid doctor's prescription script.

How to Order Your Prescription Lenses

  1. Select Your Lens Type & Material: Choose Single Vision or Progressive lenses online, along with your preferred material (Polycarbonate, Trivex, or 1.67 High-Index).

  2. Submit Your Prescription: Upload your doctor’s script during checkout, or email/mail it to us after placing your order.

  3. Mail In Your Frames: Use our postage-paid shipping box (mailed to you automatically after purchase) to send in your frames so our technicians can custom-trace and mount your new prescription lenses.
