Single Vision Lenses at SpecsforVets

At SpecsforVets, we offer a comprehensive range of single vision lenses designed for sharp, comfortable vision whether you’re looking into the distance, working on your computer, or focusing on close-up tasks. Single vision lenses correct one prescription (distance, intermediate, or near) across the entire lens surface.

How Single Vision Lenses Work

Single vision lenses are crafted to focus light precisely on the retina for a single optical zone. Unlike multifocal or varifocal lenses, there’s no segmented or progressive focusing – the entire lens corrects for one focal length. Choose the version best suited to your regular vision needs and daily activities.

Type of Single Vision Lenses

Reading Lenses

Reading single vision lenses are designed specifically for close-up tasks such as reading books, newspapers, or using a smartphone. They provide crisp, clear focus at short distances (typically 12–18 inches), helping reduce eye strain and making fine print easier to see. These lenses are ideal for anyone who spends extended time reading or working with small details.

Distance Lenses

Distance lenses are designed primarily for clear vision when looking far away, such as when driving, watching television, or enjoying outdoor activities. They help reduce eye strain and improve clarity for everyday tasks that require seeing objects at a distance. Like other single vision lenses, distance lenses are tailored to your prescription, providing crisp, comfortable vision for all far-away activities.

Computer Lenses

Computer single vision lenses are optimized for intermediate viewing distances — about the space between your eyes and a computer screen. They help minimize digital eye strain, fatigue, and dryness caused by prolonged screen use. With clear, comfortable vision at this range, computer lenses make working at a desk or using digital devices more comfortable throughout the day.
