What are varifocals and should I use them?
A. Varifocals, also known as Varilux ( brand name) are lenses designed to let you focus from near to far, and all distances in between, without changing glasses. A bifocal has only two distances built into it, with an obvious line in between the two zones. Varifocals are seamless, making them less obvious as bifocals, and give the wearer middle distance vision. There are now a lot of different designs available, and our qualified staff will be able to supply a lens that best suits your needs. Such is the confidence in these lenses that the leading manufacturers, such as Carl Zeiss and Essilor offer a Guaranteed Success service. Traditional bifocals are slowly dying out, and are being replaced with varifocals.
