Varifocal Lenses – Spectacle Lenses
Or Progressive Power Lenses to use their correct name – offer clear viewing at all distances. The power of the lens changes as you view through different areas of the lens, so by adjusting your head posture you are able to see both up close and far away, seamlessly adjusting the power of the lens. Still regarded as being new, this style of vision correction for someone requiring correction for both up close and far away is now the most popular type, and has in fact been around for almost 60 years.
There are many manufacturers of this style of lens, and with our expert knowledge of almost every type on the market, we can help select the best design for you.
The new generation of progressive lenses: Digital surfacing technology has resulted in a new generation of high specification lenses offering excellent viewing characteristics, but has lead to a lot of confusion amongst wearers as to exactly what they are getting for their money. The word “Freeform” is constantly bandied around as being the panacea for all things lenswise, but is in fact just a manufacturing technique ! A “Freeform” lens made to a poor design, will still be a poor design, regardless of its manufacturing technique.
High specification lenses now utilise freeform manufacturing process to offer advanced design characteristics. “Dual Surfaced” lenses offer more accurate prescription interpretation, and less distortion towards the edges of the lenses. “Individualised” lenses, offer custom design characteristics, where not only is the shape, fitting, and postion of wear of the frame, taken into account, but we can also specify some of the lens characteristics to place greater emphasis on aspects of the design to suit YOU !
