No-line Bifocal, what is it?
A no-line bifocal is called a Progressive lens. This is when you're prescription gradually progresses from your distance to your reading, hence the name Progressive. This type of lens consist of your distance, intermediate and reading, like a 3 in1. Patients with a progressive/bifocal prescription tend to lean towards a progressive rather than a line bifocal aesthetically.

Why do I need glare protection?

It allows 99% of light to transmit through the lens compared to 82% of non-coated lenses for better clarity and visibility. It also provides a more cosmetically appealing pair of eyewear.
