Bifocal Readers
Clear on Top Bifocal Reading Glasses for Distance and Close-Up Tasks
Clear on top bifocal reading glasses combine an unmagnified upper lens with a magnified reading segment at the bottom. Look straight ahead through the clear upper portion for normal distance viewing, then lower your eyes into the bifocal segment when you need magnification for a menu, phone, label, book, or other close-up task. That traditional clear-top design is useful for people who want reading power available without taking their glasses on and off every time they look across the room. Unlike Dual Bifocal readers, which use two customized magnification strengths for intermediate and near work, these bifocal readers keep the top of the lens clear with no magnification. They also differ from progressive readers because the reading area is a defined bifocal segment rather than a blended no-line corridor. When shopping for clear on top bifocals, focus on the reading strength you normally use for close work and on a frame that sits comfortably enough for the segment to fall naturally into your downward gaze. Debby Burk Optical has specialized in hard-to-find reading solutions since 1996, including bifocal readers in styles, fits, and strengths that go well beyond the typical drugstore rack. If you want to see across the room through the top of your glasses and read magnified print through the bottom, this is the bifocal collection built for that job. Clear-top bifocals work best for shoppers who are comfortable with a visible reading segment and do not need prescription distance correction in the upper lens. That makes the category easy to understand: clear distance area above, reading power below.
