Trifocals are eyeglasses where the lenses have 3 regions to correct for distance, intermediate (arm's length), and near vision. They are mostly used by people with advanced presbyopia who've been prescribed 2 diopters or more of reading addition. The intermediate addition is normally half the reading addition. So, for someone with a distance prescription of -4 diopters and a reading addition of +3, the reading portion of their trifocals would have a net power of -1, and the intermediate segment would be -2.5 diopters. Glasses, spectacles, or eyeglasses are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, sometimes for purely aesthetic reasons but normally for vision correction or eye protection. ... A lens is: a part of the eye an optical device that may be used in a camera or in a telescope; see lens (optics). ... Definition Presbyopia is a condition that occurs with growing age and results in the inability of the human eye to focus on objects up close. ... A dioptre (also diopter) is a unit of curvature equal to one per metre; that is, inverse metres, or 1/(metres). ...


Trifocal lenses are made in similar styles to bifocals, but with an additional segment for intermediate vision above the reading section. A common style is the 7x28 flat-top or D-shaped segment, 28 mm wide, with a 7 mm high intermediate segment. Larger intermediate segments are available, and are particularly useful for people who spend a lot of time using computers. Bifocals are eyeglasses that have corrective lenses containing two different lens powers. ...


Trifocals are becoming rarer as more people choose to wear progressive lenses. Progressive lenses, also called progressive addition lenses, progressive power lenses or varifocal lenses, are glasses used to correct presbyopia when a person has some other refraction error such as myopia,hyperopia or astigmatism. ...
