Varilux lenses are truly the clear solution to your best vision yet with progressive lenses. When you need to be able to see both near and far with the help of corrective lenses, the switch to progressive lenses can be frustrating. Things just don’t always seem as clear and you can see the line where the lens switches. Solution? Try the premium lenses called Varilux.

How do Varilux lenses work?

Traditional bifocal lenses have a line where the two types of lenses meet. With Varilux, there is no line giving you a clear lens throughout. Additionally, with their W.A.V.E. technology, your vision is clear far away, close up, and even at an arms length. Normally with progressive lenses, reading your phone at a comfortable distance can still be difficult and blurry. Varilux gives you that clarity, even in low light settings.

Do Varilux lenses limit my frame choices?

The good news is that Varilux lenses can be fit to just about any frame you choose! Your eye doctor and team can help you navigate exactly which frame might work best for you from their wide variety of options. Once you have chosen your frame, your glasses can be ordered.

Is there an adjustment from my old bifocal lenses to Varilux?

What’s really cool, is that most patients find the adjustment to Varilux lenses once they have come in, to be immediate! Some people may find it takes a slight adjustment from their old bifocals. Think of this change like having blurry vision from something in your eye, and the needing to blink a few times to clear things up. It is usually pretty quick and very satisfying!

What about a no-glare treatment?

You can also combine Varilux progressive lenses with Crizal no-glare treatment. Crizal helps to keep your lenses from fogging, getting dusty, scratching, smudging, and keep water from building up on them in the rain. This helps to reduce the strain on your eyes by keeping the lens clear. You are sure to have your clearest vision post glasses yet with this combination.

How do I clean them?

To clean these lenses, simply run them under water, use a mild dish soap to clean if needed, then wipe clean and dry with a soft microfiber cloth.

Ok, I’m interested. What’s next?
