Varilux, Eyezen, Transitions, Crizal, and Xperio are some of our brands, and they offer a wide selection of lens solutions to fit your needs, whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, or looking for UV protection.
It's critical to take after your vision because many different eye disorders have no symptoms. Refractive errors, glaucoma, and cataracts are all prevalent eye problems that can cause changes in your visual ability as well as your eye health. By seeing an optician every two years, you can lower your chance of developing eye illness and benefit from early detection and treatment.
Varifocals
Varifocal lenses, also known as progressive lenses, are a fantastic option for those who need help seeing clearly at multiple distances. As we age, many of us experience presbyopia, a condition where the eyes find it harder to focus on close objects. Varifocals offer a solution by blending different lens strengths, so you can see near, far, and everything in between without needing to switch between different pairs of glasses.
How Do Varifocals Work?
Varifocals are designed with a gradual transition between lens strengths. At the top of the lens, the prescription helps you see objects in the distance. As your eye moves downwards, the lens gradually shifts to help with intermediate vision, such as looking at a computer screen. Towards the bottom, the lens is optimised for reading and close-up tasks. This seamless transition allows you to see clearly at any distance.
The Benefits of Varifocals:
-
Convenience: Instead of carrying multiple pairs of glasses, varifocals offer a one-lens solution for distance, intermediate, and near vision.
-
Aesthetics: There are no visible lines on varifocals like there are on bifocal or trifocal lenses, making them look like regular lenses.
-
Comfort: Modern varifocals are designed to provide smooth vision transitions, helping your eyes adapt easily from looking far away to focusing on close-up tasks.
Who Can Benefit from Varifocals?
Varifocals are ideal for people over 40 who struggle with presbyopia. They are also useful for those who perform a variety of tasks throughout the day, such as driving, working on a computer, and reading. If you find yourself taking your glasses on and off constantly, varifocals might be the perfect solution for you.

Glasses By Needs
Eye conditions can impair your visual clarity, and they might advance slowly enough that you may not notice any changes in your vision. Impacts on your eyesight might make it more difficult to see clearly, distinguish colours and contrasts, and even recognise important information.
Not only may an eye condition affect your vision, but it can also have a negative impact on your general health and well-being. Headaches, fatigued eyes, and sensitivity to bright lights are all symptoms of underlying eye disorders or can even be the cause of one. It's critical to see an optician if you detect any changes in your vision since your optician can test your eyes and examine your eye health. Early detection and treatment of an eye issue can make it much easier to control and even correct.
We also offer dedicated MiYOSMART spectacle lenses from HOYA which they claim can slow the progression of Myopia using their revolutionary technology and dedicated treatment zone built into the centre of the lens. Click here to learn more about Myopia Control at Silverberg.
