Since 1959, with the invention of the world's first progressives, Varilux has innovated lens science to advance and set new standards of performance for vision and vision care for presbyopic patients. A combination of two good things, technology and innovation, Varilux progressive lenses provide clear vision at all distances without the age-old and unsightly bifocal lines. And with more than 300 million lenses sold worldwide, Varilux is the progressive lens brand that eye care professionals trust and recommend most.

Varilux lenses are specifically designed for people over 40 who experience presbyopia - a condition in which near vision (needed when reading, sewing or working at the computer) becomes increasingly blurred with age.

The Varilux Computer is the first progressive lens designed for reading on a screen, which also offers complete vision of the workplace, from the computer screen to the keyboard to avoid any eyestrain to occur.

Varilux enables you to see near, far and everything in-between and look fabulous at the same time.

Product lines include Physio, Comfort, Liberty, Ipseo, and Occupational.

Have you ever noticed that some people's glasses just look better than others? It's usually not just the frame, but the lenses that make a difference. Their lenses appear virtually invisible and they often comment on how clear and crisp they see. If that's the case, then they're probably wearing the leading anti reflective lens in the industry, Crizal.  While most eyeglass lenses let only 88% of light through, Crizal lenses allow up to 99% of light to get through - allowing you to see clearly while others clearly see your eyes. Crizal lenses also only allow 1% of light to be reflected off the lens so you have the clearest vision possible while your lenses appear virtually invisible. In fact, Crizal lenses cut down on the glare and halos of lights at night, helping you see more clearly while driving at night. If you are interested in the clearest, sharpest vision possible than Crizal lenses are for you.

The latest generation of Crizal lenses, Crizal Alizé with Clear Guard™, provide even clearer vision. This new technology allows your lenses to stay cleaner longer and actually repels the dust, dirt and smudges that accumulate on your lenses. With no glare, smudges, dust, dirt, oil, and grease, you can see as clearly as you did the first day you got your new glasses.

Crizal lenses are specially designed using revolutionary methods that combine state-of-the-art no-glare properties with double-sided scratch resistance and an easy-to-clean finish. These lenses also eliminate reflections that cause eyestrain and fatigue, especially from fluorescent lighting and computer screens. And they resist dirt and smudges so you don't have to clean them as often. Finally people will notice you instead of your glasses. With Crizal, not only do you look better, but you'll feel better too.

Why Airwear® Lenses?
Lighter, Thinner, More Comfortable, Virtually Unbreakable Lenses

Airwear is the first lens to offer all the benefits that today's eyeglass wearers need. They're light, thin, scratch resistant and virtually unbreakable which means they are safe to wear. They also offer full UV protection. Airwear lenses are ideal for all prescriptions and lifestyles, and they're essential for children's eyewear and for use as safety lenses. For those people with active lifestyles or higher prescriptions who desire comfort, protection, and performance in a thinner, lighter lens, Airwear is for you.

Lighter Lenses
Airwear's polycarbonate is the lightest material used for eyeglass lenses. They are 30% lighter than standard plastic lenses so you'll hardly notice you're wearing them. They are more cosmetically appealing because they are lighter and thinner. In fact, Airwear lenses are so much lighter than standard plastic lenses that you'll hardly notice you're wearing them.

Thinner, Comfortable Lenses
Airwear is a "high-index" lens- which means thin, light, comfortable high-performance. Industry data suggests that most patients are attracted to a cosmetically appealing lens, yet many patients don't receive lenses with these benefits.

Airwear lenses are very thin, giving you a stylish appearance even if you have a high prescription. The flat curve of the lens allows wearers to experience unsurpassed comfort and an enhanced cosmetic look.

Virtually Unbreakable
Since Airwear lenses are virtually unbreakable they're suitable for all activities, whatever you do. Polycarbonate lenses are essential for safety in children's eyewear and for sports and active lifestyles.

Airwear lenses are available in Varilux designs, the world's most advanced progressive lens. And Airwear is also available in Transitions lens technology, which allows lenses to stay clear indoors, but darken in the presence of UV light. The tint level of Transition lenses adjusts quickly as light conditions change to provide convenient protection from glare and 100% blockage of harmful UV rays. Virtually as clear as regular clear lenses indoors, and as dark as most sunglasses outside in bright light, Transition lenses provide maximum comfort and protection for your eyes.

Vision Care providers say 80% of their patients want more cosmetically appealing eyeglass lenses. Thin&Lite Lenses are made from high-index plastic resulting in a thinner, flatter more comfortable lens.

With a higher refractive index Thin&Lite lenses produce the same vision correction as a regular plastic lens but in a thinner and flatter lens- for improved appearance and better vision.

For a variety of consumers, including those with higher prescriptions and for popular rimless frame styles, Thin&Lite lenses offer improved performance and cosmetics thanks to the latest lens technology.

Thin&Lite lenses are available in Varilux progressive designs. A high quality anti-glare treatment, like Crizal Alizé, is recommended for Thin&Lite to make the most of your lens performance.
