This design allows for a wider field of view and is often preferred for progressive or multifocal lenses. The term is somewhat technical and is primarily used in optical and optometric contexts. It is not a common term in everyday speech, but it can be found more frequently in written form among professionals in the eyewear industry.

The term "pantoscopic" itself is specialist and does not frequently appear in idiomatic expressions. However, the concept of "vision" is often included in idioms related to perception or insight. Below are some expressions that highlight aspects of vision and seeing:

"Eyeing something"
The word pantoscopic is derived from the Greek root "pantos," meaning "all," and "skopein," meaning "to look or see." Thus, it essentially conveys the notion of seeing all aspects. The term spectacle comes from the Latin word spectaculum, which means "a sight or a show." The term frame simply relates to its construction, coming from the Old English framian, meaning "to construct or build."
