Digital or Freeform Progressive Lenses
When we talk about digital progressive lenses or Free Form technology, we are referring to a more precise way of designing and crafting the lens. This can help optimize the visual field and make adaptation more comfortable, provided the lens is well-chosen for your specific case.
What are digital progressive lenses?
Digital progressive lenses are designed with a higher level of precision that allows for better customization of how the lens performs based on prescription, use, and other visual data. This is not just a technical name: it can influence how you transition from near to intermediate to far vision, and how comfortably you use your glasses every day.
What Free Form Means
Free Form is a manufacturing technology that allows lenses to be designed and ground with greater precision.
If you spend many hours in front of screens or need to work well at intermediate distances, a more personalized lens can help expand your field of vision, smooth the transition between distances, and make adaptation more natural.
What we value in-store before recommending a lens
At Miller & Marc, we only work with Free Form lenses.
We have two levels of customization, depending on your needs. In-store, we review your prescription, how you change focus throughout the day, how much time you spend on screens, and which frame best suits you.
With all of that, we assess which progressive lens makes the most sense for your case.
