What is another word for bifocals?

Pronunciation: [ba͡ɪfˈə͡ʊkə͡lz] (IPA)

Bifocals, or eyeglasses with two different lenses for near and far vision, can also be referred to as varifocals, progressive lenses, multifocals, or trifocals. Varifocals, unlike bifocals, have a gradual transition from distance to near vision, providing a natural and clear visual experience. Progressive lenses are similar to varifocals in their gradual progression from distance to near vision, but also have an intermediate zone for computer use. Multifocals typically have three segments, including distance, intermediate, and near vision, making them ideal for those with complex visual needs. Trifocals have an additional zone for intermediate vision, making them useful for those who spend a lot of time working at a desk or computer.
