Varifocals Explained: Are They Right for You?
Navigating the world of eyewear can be complex, particularly when deciding if varifocals are suitable for your needs. At Brian D Suttie Opticians, we are dedicated to helping you understand your options and ensuring you get spectacles that enhance your vision and suit your lifestyle.
**What Are Varifocals?**
Varifocals, also known as progressive lenses, combine two or more prescriptions into a single lens, without any visible line separating them. These lenses accommodate near, intermediate, and distance vision, which are ideal for those experiencing presbyopia – a common condition associated with ageing, affecting your ability to see objects up close.
**Why Choose Varifocals?**
The main benefit of varifocals is the convenience of not switching between multiple pairs of glasses. With varifocals, you can look up to see in the distance, look ahead to view your computer, and then look down to read a book — all through one pair of lenses. They provide a seamless transition from close-up to far sight, enhancing visual comfort in daily activities.
**Are Varifocals Right for You?**
Varifocals are beneficial for those who are constantly adjusting focus, especially if you’re over 40 and starting to notice changes in your near vision. However, they do take a bit of getting used to. The key to adapting quickly to varifocal lenses is good quality lenses and a correct, personalised fit.
At Brian D Suttie Opticians, we pride ourselves on our bespoke optical services. Our seasoned optometrists will conduct a thorough eye examination to ensure varifocals are right for you. Utilising advanced imaging technology like the iCare EIDON, which provides ultra-wide, detailed retinal images, we ensure your varifocals are perfectly adjusted to your visual needs.
Whether varifocals would make a good fit for you ultimately depends on your individual requirements and lifestyle preferences. We invite you to discuss your eyewear options with us. Let’s ensure you achieve the best possible vision with glasses tailored just for you. Visit Brian D Suttie Opticians for a consultation and discover if varifocals could enhance your daily life.
