Why do you need a Progressive Lens?

As we grow older, our vision goes through a natural change in vision linked to the loss of flexibility in the crystalline lens of the eye. Initially, this change manifests itself as a loss in near vision. When this occurs, there are three possible solutions:

Reading Glasses

This solution solves the problem for near vision; however the mid-range and distance vision become blurry while wearing the reading glasses.

Bifocals

Bifocals allow you to see distance and near clearly, however the mid-range remains blurry. There is also a very abrupt split in your vision rather than a natural progression. And let's not forget the visible, unsightly line.

Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses (also referred to as no-line bifocals) allow you to see distance, mid-range and near clearly. The transition between the three ranges is a natural progression without sudden shifts in vision. As a result, you only need one pair of general-use glasses. This solution offers you the best option and is the closest to your natural vision, regardless of the distance. You get clear, comfortable vision at all distances.

Why should you consider Varilux and Essilor Lenses as your "Progressive Lens of Choice"?

With standard progressive lenses, distance, intermediate and near vision is clear; however the corridor of vision is very narrow and there is a great deal of peripheral distortion.

Varilux and Essilor Products are Premium Progressive Lenses. Unlike standard progressives, they significantly reduce or eliminate peripheral distortion. This creates an exceptionally wide area of vision. Varilux lenses offer a high resolution wide viewing area with natural vision at all distances. With Varilux and Essilor Products, the choices are infinite. See the next section for a small sampling of their products. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you in your selection to make sure that you choose the products that will work best for your particular lifestyle, and/or enhance your work experience.

Do you need a General Use Progressive, an Occupational Progressive, or a Specialty Lens? Varilux and Essilor have it all!
