single vision

Unified visual perception

Single vision describes eyeglass lenses with one uniform prescription across the entire surface, correcting for either distance or near sight but not both.

This distinguishes them from bifocals or progressive lenses, which have multiple focal zones: My optometrist said I only need single vision lenses for reading.
