If you are in your 40s and having trouble reading the small print on menus or need more light to read, you may have a condition known as presbyopia. As we get older, the lens in our eye gets less flexible, making it difficult to focus on close-up objects. You may suddenly need reading glasses or feel like your vision is getting worse.
Many people with presbyopia start to consider progressive lenses. Progressive lenses, or no-line bifocals, provide a smooth transition between different prescriptions in a single lens. One of the best options available are Varilux® progressive lenses, which are well-known for their quality and innovative design.
What are Varilux® progressive lenses?
Varilux® progressive lenses are a type of multifocal lens that provide a smooth transition between different visual zones—near, intermediate, and distance—without the lines you see in traditional bifocals or trifocals. This seamless design allows your eyes to shift focus naturally, making it easier to see clearly at any distance. This means you can comfortably read a book up close, work on your computer at arm’s length, and see clearly across the room without switching glasses.
Many progressive lenses come with certain challenges. For example, progressives can often cause a “swim” effect where objects appear wavy or out of focus when you move your head. This can be especially difficult for those who lead an active lifestyle or need reliable vision throughout the day. Varilux® progressive lenses are specifically designed to eliminate these issues, providing a smoother and more comfortable visual experience compared to other progressive lenses.
Clear vision in various lighting conditions
Varilux® lenses provide excellent visual clarity in different lighting conditions. Whether you’re reading in dim light, working at a computer, or spending time outdoors, these lenses offer clear vision that adapts to your surroundings. People who frequently transition between different environments benefit most from this versatility.
Enhanced comfort
Comfort is critical when choosing eyewear, especially if you wear them all day long. Many patients who switch to Varilux® lenses report significantly reduced eye strain and fatigue compared to their previous experiences with other progressives. The lenses are made from lightweight materials and come with anti-glare coatings that reduce reflections from screens and bright lights.
