bifocal

Having two different focal lengths, typically used to describe eyeglasses that provide correction for both distance and near vision. / A pair of eyeglasses with lenses that have two different focal lengths, allowing the wearer to see clearly at both far and near distances.

AdjectiveNoun

pl: bifocals

This term is primarily technical and descriptive, used in optometry to specify a lens's ability to handle two distinct focal points. While it is a precise medical term, it is used commonly in everyday conversation when discussing vision correction.

As a noun, the word is almost always used in the plural form "bifocals" because eyeglasses consist of two lenses. Referring to a single "bifocal" is rare unless discussing the specific technical properties of one lens in a pair.
