Distance to near in one lens

Cheap Progressive Glasses

  • Complete pairs from $120
  • Coatings included
  • 365-day returns

Progressives cost more because of the lens, not the frame — so the lens is where the savings have to come from. Coatings, a free prescription check and a 365-day return window sit inside the price rather than beside it.

Prices are per pair in USD and match the lens wizard on each product page. Shipping is $5.95, free on orders over $45. A stronger prescription may call for a thinner lens tier, which costs more than the entry price shown here.

The lens is the cost, so the lens is what we discount

A progressive is ground with a distance zone, an intermediate corridor and a near zone in one piece of plastic. That geometry is what you are paying for. We keep the frame cheap — from $20 — instead of padding both.

Coatings and verification are already inside

The entry tier includes anti-reflective and anti-scratch coatings, and our opticians double-check the lens choice against your prescription before the lenses are made. Neither is an upsell step on the way to checkout.

Progressives need vertical room, and we publish it

A very short lens box squeezes the corridor. Every frame on this page lists its lens height in millimetres in the spec row, so you can choose room to see through instead of guessing from a photo.

FAQ

Why are progressive lenses more expensive than single-vision?
A single-vision lens has one power across the whole surface. A progressive carries three powers in one lens with a blended corridor between them, which is more grinding and more adjustment work. That is the whole price difference — the frame behind it can still cost $20.
What is the cheapest complete progressive pair you can get here?
A $20-class frame with the standard clear progressive lens at $100 comes to $120 all in, coatings included. Add blue-light filtering for $10 more, or light-responsive for $30 more.
How long does it take to get used to progressives?
Most people settle in within a week or two of regular wear — the trick is turning your head instead of your eyes and using the near zone at the bottom. Before we make the lenses our opticians verify your prescription and the lens choice for free, which is where most adaptation problems get prevented. If you still cannot see comfortably, write to help@anrri.com.
Which frames suit progressive lenses best?
Frames with enough vertical lens height, because the distance, intermediate and near zones all live in that space. Small, tightly curved or rimless shapes squeeze the corridor. Filter the list below by the lens height printed in each frame’s spec row.
Can I get progressives with blue-light filtering or a tint?
Yes. On the same progressive design you can choose blue-light filtering from $110, a tint or light-responsive lens from $130, or polarized for driving sunglasses from $140.
What if I cannot adapt to them?
Tell us and we review the case within 48 hours and replace the lenses or refund the order. Unworn pairs in original packaging with tags and proof of purchase can also be returned within 365 days using a prepaid label we send by email.

Progressive-ready frames, cheapest first

Still deciding between progressives and two pairs?

Two cheaper single-vision pairs — one for distance, one for reading — is often the better buy if you only need near vision at a desk. Read how progressive lenses work to see which arrangement fits your day, and compare the affordable prescription pairs if you go that route.
