What type of glasses provide vision correction for both distance and reading?

Multifocal glasses are designed to correct vision at multiple distances, which includes both distance vision and reading vision. These glasses typically have different sections in the lens that provide various optical powers, allowing the wearer to see clearly at different distances without needing to change glasses. This makes them particularly suitable for individuals who are presbyopic, a condition that often occurs with aging, where the eye's ability to focus on close objects deteriorates.

In contrast, single vision glasses only correct for one distance, such as either near (for reading) or far (for distance viewing), and thus would not address the needs of someone requiring correction for both distances simultaneously. Polarized lenses primarily reduce glare from surfaces like water or roads and do not provide vision correction for distance or reading. Photochromic lenses are lenses that darken in sunlight but are not specifically designed to provide multifocal correction. Therefore, multifocal glasses is the most suitable choice for vision correction needs involving both distance and near activities.
