****Single-vision**** lenses offer one correction throughout the entire lens (typically for distance or reading).

****Progressive**** lenses offer multiple corrections in one lens, with distance correction on top to reading correction on the bottom. This means you do not need multiple pairs of glasses for distance and near vision correction.
