Varifocals, What Are They?

Varifocals, also known as progressive lenses, are a revolutionary optical solution designed to address multiple vision problems with a single pair of glasses. At S.W. Cotton, we specialise in providing top-quality varifocals to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Established in 1982, our opticians and optometrists in Stoke-on-Trent have been dedicated to enhancing vision and eye health for over four decades.

What Are Varifocals?

Definition

Varifocals are multifocal lenses that incorporate multiple prescriptions into one lens without the visible lines found in traditional bifocals or trifocals. These lenses are designed to provide a seamless transition between different focal points, allowing wearers to see clearly at varying distances.

How They Work

The lens is divided into three zones:

1. Distance Vision: The upper part of the lens is optimised for seeing distant objects.
2. Intermediate Vision: The middle section is tailored for intermediate distances, such as computer work.
3. Near Vision: The lower part of the lens helps with close-up tasks like reading.

Benefits

• Convenience: Eliminates the need to switch between multiple pairs of glasses.
• Aesthetics: No visible lines, offering a more youthful appearance.
• Comfort: Provides natural vision correction without abrupt changes.

Choosing the Right Varifocals

Factors to Consider

When selecting varifocals, it’s essential to consider:

• Lifestyle Needs: Your daily activities will influence the type of varifocals best suited for you.
• Prescription: A comprehensive eye test ensures your lenses are perfectly tailored to your vision needs.
