8. Binocular Vision Binocular vision: As the patient’s gaze is lowered for near objects, the eyes converge to maintain a single binocular image. The progressive lenses should ensure that this is maintained for different object distances from the eyes, as illustrated by the lines.
9. Peripheral (Extra-Foveal) Vision Peripheral vision: The PAL design should ensure that *objects in the periphery of the visual field are easily fused. **The distribution of prism in each lens should also be balanced for binocular viewing. ***Corresponding areas in the two lenses should provide a similar level of vision.

12. Why Use Progressive Lenses? Bifocal lens Progressive lens The bifocal lens (left) can disrupt the patient’s view with visual disturbances (arrows) when the eye crosses the boundary of the near seg. The progressive lens (right) has no such problem and enables a smooth transition between different reading distances.
