There is a distinct part on bifocal reading glasses so that you can easily focus when you need to see something near. If you need to see near and far a lot in your daily activities, using bifocals can help you avoid the hassle of taking your glasses off frequently.
What are progressive reading glasses?
There are several focuses on the lens of progressive reading glasses, so they have different diopters for distance, medium distance, and near.
