Progressive
Lenses (Also known as varifocals)
As
our eyes age they loose the flexibility to focus at different
distances. For patients who already wear spectacles for distance
vision there are three choices; Wear a second pair of spectacles
for reading, use varifocal lenses or use bifocal lenses.
Many
patients choose progressives as they allow a seamless transition
from long distance to close vision. Cosmetically they look just
like "normal" single vision lenses. Whilst progressives
can take a little more time to adapt to, the advantages of the
gradual transition between distance and close vision soon become
clear.
Progressive
lenses come with a number of options, including high index, for
a thinner lighter lens and colour change so that you do not have
to carry a pair of sunglasses with you. Alternativly they can
also be made in sunglasses with a large variety of tints.
We
have well over 150 designs of lens and are allways happy to advise
you on the most suitable lens to meet your requirements from all
the leading manufacturers. Our entry level progressive lens, Rodenstock's
Progressiv Start, is available from £99. Whilst for the
the more elaborate Shamir Autograph or Rodenstock Impressions
lenses start at £220
