What is the difference between a bifocal and progressive lens?

FAQ Eye Doctor Denver | Eye Care, Exam, Vision Care, Laser S...
A bifocal lens only allows you to have two vision distances (near and far) while progressive lenses give you all your range of vision from distance, intermediate and near in a smooth progression. Most people like the newer technology of the progressive because it allows for more natural vision and cosmetically they look nicer because there is no line. The upside to standard lined bifocals is that the peripheral vision is sometimes better. See similar questions...

What is the difference between "interlaced" and "progressive" scan?

HDTV - FAQs
Interlaced" or "progressive" refers to the scanning system. In an interlaced format, the screen shows every odd line at one scan of the screen, and then follows that up with the even lines in a second scan. Since there are 30 frames shown per second, the screen shows one half of the frame every sixtieth of a second. For smaller screens, this is less noticeable. As screens get larger, the problem with interlacing is flicker. See similar questions...

What is the difference between interlaced scanning and progressive scanning?

HOME ENTERTAINMENT 4 LESS
A television image is created when a device known as the CRT (cathode ray tube) scans a constant stream of electrons across the inside of the picture tube. Each image is created with a series of horizontal lines. In interlaced scanning, the CRT starts with the top line and scans every other line all the way to the bottom of the image. The CRT then returns to the top and scans all remaining lines. This process constructs a complete image 30 times per second. See similar questions...
