WHAT ARE PROGRESSIVE LENSES?

Essilor_progressive-lenses

Progressive lenses, such as Varilux, have no lines separating the different lens strengths, yet they provide the user with clear vision at all distances, allowing both head and eyes to stay in a natural and comfortable position when looking at objects in the distance, the intermediate zone and close up. This means no abrupt changes in lens strength, and no need to compensate with unhealthy body movement patterns.

The results are, rather, simple and seamless. Eliminating the visible line in the middle of the lens also hides the fact that the user is in need of reading glasses, something many is self-conscious about.

Progressive lenses are designed so that a smooth and seamless progression of lens power runs vertically down each lens, providing clear vision at all distances and a more natural depth focus than bifocals.

Choosing lenses with anti-reflective coating like Crizal will eliminate reflection on both sides of the glass, making activities like driving in the dark a more pleasant experience. This will also help others see your eyes clearly.

Although this is currently the peak of eyewear technology, it is impossible to create seamless multifocal lenses without the occurrence of unwanted aberrations, or irregularities creating distorted vision somewhere in the lens. These aberrations might cause the peripheral vision to appear slightly blurry, especially when looking down, or create a “swim effect” (the sensation of being out of balance) during rapid movements of the head. For most people, these are minor issues that disappear as they get used to their new lenses, and technological advances in the development of progressive lenses have eliminated or minimised most of these negative side effects.

To make sure that the lenses are tailored to your specific needs, your eye-care specialist will measure your eyes and eyeglass frame in order to carefully adjust the lenses to suit your eyes. Today we have a wide range of progressive lens designs to fit almost any need and lifestyle.

Superior vision - Any distance, any situation

Essilor has pushed the boundaries to bring you the world’s most advanced progressive lenses.
