Types of varifocal lenses
One of the most common questions we get asked is; ‘how much do varifocals cost?’ followed with ‘what are the best varifocals?’
The answer to both really depends on your budget and what you are looking for.
There are lots of different varifocal lenses on the market offering various features depending on your lifestyle and prescription.
At Specsavers we offer four types of varifocal lenses: standard, premium, elite and tailor-made. When you come in to store we can talk you through all the options to see what suits you best.
How long does it take to
adjust to varifocal lenses?Getting used to varifocals can take from a few days to a few weeks. You need to give your brain time to adjust to the new viewing areas, which can take a bit longer if you are trying varifocals for the first time..
We know it might feel strange but the best way to adapt is to keep wearing your glasses so that your eyes can gradually adjust.
Thanks to the detailed measurements we take, most people adjust quickly but others may experience slight dizziness at first when moving quickly from one viewing area to the next. Don’t worry these sensations don’t last long and we’re always available to reassure you if you are struggling.
We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If you have any concerns within three months of the date of purchase, we will put it right. No quibble, no fuss.
