Varilux® Progressive Lenses offer our patients the ability to see clearly both near and far. These lenses do not have the typical uncomfortable “jump” in vision that occurs with traditional bifocal lenses. As the eyes age, they tend to develop presbyopia, a normal age-related loss in the ability to easily focus between various vision ranges. At this time, patients may consider a bifocal lens to assist with improving near and far vision. However, bifocals do nothing to improve the quality of vision at arm’s length, leaving a potentially dangerous gap in the field of vision.

Fortunately, our patients no longer have to deal with the dangerous “vision gap” and the disorienting effect that a bifocal lens can create. Varilux® lenses are known as “progressive” lenses. These progressive lenses enable our patients to see clearly at ALL distances. Varilux® lenses appear clear throughout the entire lens and do not have the unattractive visible half-moon line that can be distracting to both the patient as well as family and friends. Unlike bifocals, Varilux® progressive lenses allow you to continue to experience clear, comfortable, more natural vision at all distances after age 40.
