    Progressive lenses provide vision correction for close-up, intermediate, and distance vision within a single lens. They have different optical zones for each distance. Fitting progressive lenses properly requires understanding the patient's prescription and needs, selecting an appropriately sized frame, and precise measurements. Types include computer progressive lenses, premium progressive lenses, and transition lenses. Progressive lenses improve all-distance vision from one pair of glasses but require adjustment and can cause peripheral distortions. Careful fitting is important.
