Progressive lenses in Abu Dhabi
A progressive lens has more than one focal zone in a single lens, with no visible dividing line. Triple Eight Optical makes progressive lenses from a prescription issued by a licensed doctor. We do not perform eye exams.
What is a progressive lens?
A progressive lens changes power gradually from one part of the lens to another, so one lens can cover more than one distance without a visible line. Whether you need one is set out in your doctor's prescription, usually as an ADD value.
What we need from you
A clear photo or copy of your complete prescription from a licensed doctor, including the ADD value, and the frame you would like. Message us with these and we will tell you if anything else is needed. See how to read your glasses prescription.
