MAKING REAL PROGRESS Eyeglass wearers entering middle age are likely to find that they experience difficulty reading small print or seeing close range with their regular prescriptions. At this point, it becomes necessary to switch to reading glasses or use bifocals. However, there is another option for those who either do not want to carry around two pairs of glasses or do not want to wear lenses with a telltale dividing line that informs everyone they are getting older. Multifocal “progressive� lenses
not only enable those who wear them to see both up close and far away without a visible dividing line in the lens, they also provide crisp images at intermediate distances. Ask about the new “free-form� technology available to increase your quality of vision with progressive lenses. Multifocal “progressive� lenses provide distance, intermediate, and near vision correction all in one lens. Bring your eyewear prescription to MENLO OPTICAL at 1166 University Drive, on the corner of Oak Grove Avenue and University Drive. We carry lightweight progressive lenses and a variety of stylish frames to suit all tastes and needs. Call us at 322-3900 if you have questions about eyewear. P.S. Progressive lenses may slightly alter peripheral vision and necessitate some minor changes in horizontal head and eye movements when reading. Free-form progressive greatly improve the width of the reading area.
