Varifocal lenses

Varifocal lenses are engineered with three distinct vision zones:

  • Distance Vision: The upper portion of the lens caters to far-off objects, perfect for activities like driving or watching television.

  • Intermediate Vision: The middle section is tailored for mid-range focus, such as computer work or viewing items on a shelf.

  • Near Vision: The lower part aids in close-up tasks like reading or using a smartphone.

Unlike bifocals or trifocals, varifocal lenses have no visible lines, ensuring a more natural visual experience and appearance.

Varifocal lenses: Pros & Cons

The main advantage of varifocal lenses is that they allow the wearer to see at all distances with the same pair of glasses. For the majority of people they are the most convenient way to resolve the problem of needing different corrections for long distance, intermediate, and near. Once the glasses are on there’s no need to take them off, carry more than one pair of glasses around or swap between pairs.

However, for some people the blurring of images in the periphery of the lens, the limited field of vision for middle and near distances, and the head movements that they have to make to see through the correct parts of the lens for different distances are difficult. Adapting to varifocal lenses can take a little while for many new wearers, but most adapt to them after several days.

We offer a range of varifocal lenses to suit different needs and budgets:

  • Standard Varifocals: Ideal for general use, providing clear vision at all distances.

  • Premium Varifocals: Enhanced clarity and wider viewing zones for a more comfortable experience.

  • Occupational Varifocals: Designed for specific tasks, such as computer work or driving.
