Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need varifocal lenses?
If your prescription includes an ADD value, you need correction at more than one distance — varifocal or bifocal lenses are required. If you find yourself switching between different pairs of glasses for reading and distance, varifocals will allow you to use one pair for both.
What is th difference between the varifocal packages?
The main difference is the width of the corridor of vision — the clear central channel you look through. Varifocal Advanced has a narrower corridor and is suited to first-time wearers. Varifocal Premium offers a wider, more comfortable field. Varifocal Elite has the widest corridor and is recommended for experienced wearers. Occupational Office is a specialist varifocal designed for desk and screen use with a wider intermediate zone.
What is occupational office and is it the same as a standard varifocal
Occupational Office is a specialist varifocal designed for indoor, desk-based use. It has a wider intermediate zone for clearer vision at computer and arm’s-length distances. Unlike standard varifocals, it is not suitable for driving or general outdoor use. It is the ideal choice for people who spend long hours working at a desk or in an office environment.
Which lens index should I choose for varifocal?
Use your prescription strength as a guide — up to ±2.00 choose 1.50, between ±2.00 and ±4.00 choose 1.60, between ±4.00 and ±6.00 choose 1.67, and above ±6.00 choose 1.74. A higher index gives a thinner, lighter lens for the same prescription.
Are varifocals difficult to adjust to?
Most first-time varifocal wearers adjust within one to two weeks. During this time it is normal to notice some peripheral distortion as your eyes learn to use different parts of the lens. Choosing a higher package such as Premium or Elite can make the adjustment period shorter and more comfortable due to the wider corridor of vision.
What is the difference between varifocal and bifocal lenses?
Bifocals have two distinct zones — near and far — separated by a visible line on the lens. Varifocals have no visible line and include an intermediate zone for screen and arm’s-length distances. Varifocals are generally preferred for their appearance and versatility, though bifocals remain a practical alternative for those who find varifocals difficult to adapt to.
