Long vs Short Corridors (in Progressive Lenses). Multifocal Lenses for Most Glasses Frames.

All progressive eyewear choices at http://www.visio-rx.com

When it's time to buy a new pair of glasses, many people that wear progressive lenses hear about long corridors and short corridors. But what does this mean?

The corridor refers to the section that connects the far and near vision segments. When ""short corridor"" progressive lens designs were introduced, the selection of frames that users could choose from was vastly increased. Shortening the corridor allows the progressive design to fit into narrower frames than what was previously possible.

A larger frame used to be required for RX style progressive glasses in order to accommodate the whole lens design inside the frame.

Smaller frames were unable to properly fit this progressive design.

Short corridor progressive lenses were developed to allow consumers to select smaller frames when ordering progressive lenses.

Short corridor" and "long corridor" refers to the intermediate vision part of the design, which is in between the distance vision and the near vision.

By making this corridor longer or shorter, the RX progressive lens can be fit into a wider variety of frames.

Please be advised that short corridor lenses do cut parts away from your intermediate (computer) correction in the lens.

But, if fashion and style are important to you, it is a small sacrifice to make.
