Varifocal Lens Options

Varifocal lenses (also known as progressive lenses), are designed for those people who require both distance and near (reading) vision correction and who prefer not to have separate distance and reading glasses. Varifocal lenses are commonly used to correct for presbyopia – an age related condition where it becomes increasingly difficult to focus on near objects. The upper part of a varifocal lens is set for distance vision and the lower part for intermediate and near vision. It is important that the reading part of a varifocal lens is set at the correct height. This fitting height is dependent not only on the facial dimensions of the wearer but also on the shape and size of the chosen glasses frame. For this reason we require that new varifocal wearers visit our offices in Oxford or one of our partner practices. Existing varifocal wearers who require varifocal lenses in the same model of glasses frame, may send their existing varifocal glasses to us from which we can take the fitting height.

Varifocal lenses vary in price depending on the field of view offered by the lenses. The new Varilux XR Design has the widest field of view (widest peripheral vision) within the high performance Varilux range.
