this means you just have a prescription in your glasses or contacts that are correcting only for just distance correction or near correction. for example, rx could be -1.00 right eye and -1.25 left eye if you take that rx and make it -1.00 ADD +2.00 right eye, -1.25 ADD +2.00 left eye that is a multi focal rx. means correction for distance vision with a bifocal added to glasses for near vision.

Single vision lens refers to lenses that have the same prescription power throughout the entire lens, providing clear vision at only one distance, either for near or distance vision. They are typically used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
A single vision lens offers vision correction in a single power. This is different than a bifocal lens that offers correction in at least two powers.
A 1.57 mid index lens is a type of lens material that falls in between standard plastic (1.50 index) and high index (1.60 and above) lenses in terms of thickness and weight. It is a good option for those looking for a balance between affordability and optical performance in single vision prescriptions.
Astigmatism is a common eye condition that can be corrected by using a cylindrical lens. This lens helps to correct the irregular curvature of the cornea or lens in the eye, which causes distorted or blurred vision. By using a cylindrical lens, the light entering the eye can be properly focused to improve vision.
The adjustment of the lens thickness to allow for clear vision at near distances is called accommodation. This process involves changing the shape and focus of the lens to bring close objects into sharp focus on the retina.
During distant vision, the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the suspensory ligament is taut, the convexity of the lens is increased, and light refraction is decreased. During close vision, the ciliary muscle is contracted, the suspensory ligament is relaxed, lens convexity is increased, and light refraction is increased.
When the lens of the eye loses its transparency, the abnormal lens is known as a cataract. This clouding of the lens can cause blurry vision, sensitivity to light, and seeing halos around lights. Cataracts can be treated with surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens.
