A little about varifocal lenses...
Varifocal lenses allows distance, intermediate and near vision correction in one single pair of glasses. They work by changing power from the top "distance" area of the lens designed for driving & TV, through the middle "intermediate" area created for face-to-face conversations & computer use and finally to the lower "reading" area of the lens designed for reading & close work.
Our Varifocal lens options
We offer two different types of varifocal lens...
Standard Freeform Varifocal

Perfect if your optician has recommended varifocals or you fancy trying them. You've previously had bifocals but didn't like the line across the lens. You want the convenience of distance, intermediate and near powers in one lens. These are an excellent freeform varifocal lens which are ideal for most wearers.

Getting used to varifocal lenses
If you've previously worn varifocals before you may be accustomed to a specific design of varifocal. Each design varies by a small amount. As a consequence there might be a settling-in period whilst you adjust to your new lenses and we suggest wearing them for the first time in the morning, before your eyes have adjusted to a different pair.
Because you usually need a few weeks to fully adapt to this new type of lens, we have a 30 day guarantee on all varifocals. So there's plenty of time for you to adjust before you decide if you like them. We do recommend wearing them continously for at least 7 days once you receive them.
