Buyer fit

Built around a clear procurement decision.

For optical buyers sourcing conventional segmented distance-and-near lenses. Confirm segment shape, size, addition and fitting references separately; one sphere value does not define the complete bifocal product.

Start with representative samples, approve the agreed specification, then use it as the reference for trial and repeat orders.

Technical parameters

Typical supply configuration.

Final material, power matrix, coating, tolerances, tests, and availability are confirmed before quotation.

Segment width, addition and fitting height are separate specifications. Suitability and fitting require qualified optical assessment.

Lens design

Choose the near-segment shape

The main area provides the distance correction and the lower segment carries near addition. Round-top, flat-top and blended designs differ in segment geometry and appearance. Approve a drawing and sample rather than ordering from an abbreviation alone.

Application & selection

Prepare the full job information

Include the required addition and segment measurements with the prescription. Have the laboratory check frame cutout and the manufacturer's fitting instructions. A substitute segment design needs review even when the prescription values match.

Procurement FAQ

Questions buyers ask before sampling.

Is a blended bifocal the same as a progressive lens?

No. A blended bifocal retains a distinct near segment; a progressive design changes power gradually through a corridor.

Can all segments use every coating?

Confirm the combination of material, segment, function and coating before ordering.

What does ADD describe?

ADD is the additional near power. It must be recorded separately from distance sphere and segment dimensions.
