Varifocals Explained
Varifocals, explained simply
Varifocal lenses correct your distance, intermediate and reading vision in one lens, with a smooth transition between them - no line across the lens, and no swapping between pairs.
Who they suit
If you find yourself lifting your glasses to read menus or holding your phone at arm’s length, you’re likely ready for varifocals. Most people notice this from their mid-forties.
Getting used to them
New varifocal wearers usually adapt within a few days to two weeks. Point your nose at what you want to see, lower your eyes (not your head) to read, and wear them consistently from day one.
