 | | Trifocal lenses, like bifocal lenses, will have visible lines across the lens, either in a D-shaped segment or across the entire lens. |
 | | The top of the lens is for distance, the middle segment is for arm's length tasks, and the bottom segment is for close-up work. |
 | | Instead of having "steps" in the prescription like a bifocal or a trifocal, the change in prescription acts like a "ramp" for a smooth transition from distance, to intermediate, to near viewing. |
