Individuals experiencing both myopia and hypermetropia often require bi-focal lenses, which consist of both concave and convex lenses. The upper part facilitates distant vision, while the lower part assists near vision.
In some cases, individuals may experience both myopia and hypermetropia. How are these cases typically addressed, and what are bi-focal lenses?

Individuals experiencing both myopia (nearsightedness) and hypermetropia (farsightedness) may have what is known as astigmatism. This condition is often corrected using glasses or contact lenses with bifocal or multifocal lenses. Bifocal lenses contain two prescriptions in one lens, usually with the upper part for distance vision and the lower part for near vision. Multifocal lenses, including trifocals or progressive lenses, provide a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision. These lenses allow individuals to see clearly at various distances without frequently changing glasses. They are effective solutions for addressing refractive errors associated with both myopia and hypermetropia.
