VARIFOCAL LENS TYPES:
• Our Standard varifocal is our most basic varifocal and comes in a 1.5 index thickness.
• Our Elite varifocal is a 1.5 index in thickness, similar to the Standard however the Elite is freeform which means it benefits from less distortion, a wider reading area and overall better comfort.
• Our Ultra varifocal comes in 3 thicknesses, standard 1.5, thin 1.6 and thinner 1.67. The thin & thinner versions are greatly suited to higher prescriptions and come including an anti-reflective coating. The 1.5 index version is similar to the Elite however the reading area is much wider, giving you a more comfortable, gradual change between distance and reading. The Ultra varifocal is our most comfortable and most advanced varifocal lens.
LENS EXTRAS:
• Scratch-Resistant coating means your glasses are more resistant to scratches and scrapes from keys, coins and other things they might come into contact with. Please note that they are only resistant, not 100% scratch-proof!
• Anti-Reflective coating means your glasses have both scratch-resistance and also let in more light than standard plastic lenses. This reduces glare and is incredibly effective in low-light conditions such as driving at night. Our Ultra (Thin) and Ultra (Thinner) lenses come with this as standard.
• Super-Clear coated lenses are ultimately tough! They are scratch-resistant, anti-reflective as well as water and grease repellent.
• Reactalight coated lenses are clear when they are indoors, but darken out in sunlight to protect your eyes from UV.
VARIFOCAL PRESCRIPTION:
With varifocals we require a photograph or scan of your prescription to be uploaded; this is to avoid any errors when it comes to processing your order and to ensure accuracy with your new lenses. We also need an accurate PD measurement which you can usually get from your optician. This is the best option to ensure accuracy, however you can also take your PD measurement yourself with the help of a friend (click here for a guide).
Please note we can only cater for prescriptions with SPH values up to -/+6.00 and CYL values -/+2.00. Any prescription higher than this may incur an extra charge. For our complete prescription help guide, click here.
Please also note that we will use an average fitting height when making your lenses.
