The Advantages Of Freeform Varifocal/Progressive Lenses

What Are Freeform Varifocal Glasses?

Freeform varifocal glasses are a type of eyewear that uses advanced lens technology to provide a seamless transition between different prescriptions in one pair of glasses. This means that you can have different levels of magnification in one lens, allowing you to see clearly at all distances, whether you're reading a book or looking across the room.

One of the major advantages of freeform varifocal glasses is their ability to provide a wider range of vision compared to traditional bifocal or trifocal lenses. This means that you won't have to constantly adjust your head or eyes to see clearly, which can be a huge relief for those who have to wear glasses for extended periods of time. 


Freeform glasses


What Are Freeform Lenses?

Freeform lenses are glasses lenses that are custom-designed using advanced computer software to provide a more precise and personalised vision correction. They are also known as digital or high-definition lenses.

Traditional glasses lenses are made with a fixed curvature on the front and back surfaces, which can cause distortion and limited peripheral vision. Freeform lenses, on the other hand, are created with a more gradual and individualised curvature, allowing for a wider and clearer field of vision.

These lenses can be used to correct a range of vision issues, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They can also provide a more seamless transition between different prescriptions, such as from distance to reading glasses, as used in varifocal lenses.

What Are Varifocal Lenses?

Varifocal glasses lenses are a revolutionary solution for individuals suffering from presbyopia, a condition that affects near vision as we age. Unlike traditional bifocal lenses, which have a visible line separating the different prescriptions, varifocal lenses provide a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision. This makes them an ideal choice for those looking for a more natural and comfortable viewing experience.

Varifocal lenses mean you can say goodbye to the hassle of switching between different pairs of glasses and enjoy crystal-clear vision at all distances. Find out more about varifocals and if they are the right choice for you on our dedicated varifocal page.
