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. Alternatively they can also be made in sunglasses with a large variety of tints.
