Varifocal lenses have three parts. The top part is normally used for seeing things at a distance and the prescription gradually increases towards the bottom of the lens which is used for reading. The middle part is normally used for looking at the computer or anything else at arms length e.g. looking at the dashboard of the car while driving. These are ideal for people who need use their glasses for distance, intermediate and near without the need of removing their glasses.

There are many different kinds of varifocal lenses available in the market today. When you go to an optician you will be presented with 3 or more options before choosing your extras. Usually they refer to as Standard, Ultrawide or Superwide varifocals.
The difference between the three types is the central areas of the lens which provide clear vision when viewing through them. At Vision Eyewear we do not supply standard varifocals and only supply Ultrawide and Superwide varifocal as these lenses offer wider field of view and comfort.
We also only supply Freeform lenses that are digitally surfaced to offer enhanced field of vision at all distances. They have less distortion at the edge of the lens and the power of progression is more gradual when moving from distance to near when compared to traditional varifocals.
Advantages of having free form lenses for our customers:
- Easier to get used to varifocals for both first time and existing wearers.
- Enhanced field of vision at all distances.
- Less distortion at the edge of the lens.
