How to understand it
Design freedom can help balance shape and optical behaviour. Double-aspheric usually refers to optimisation on both surfaces.
An example
A lens can simultaneously be 1.60 material, aspheric and single vision; these labels answer different questions.
A common mix-up
Double aspheric is not bifocal and does not automatically add a reading zone.
