What are the different tiers of progressive lenses?
There are several different types of progressive lenses, including:
- Computer progressive lenses.
- Premium progressive lenses.
- Ground-view progressive lenses.
- Standard progressive lenses.
- Short corridor progressive lenses.
- Transition progressive lenses.
What are the three levels of progressive lenses?
Rather than two or three distinct zones (for near, far and intermediate), progressive lenses offer a smooth transition of focal powers that covers the total range of clear vision from close to far and every point in between. As we age, particularly after the age of 40, our near vision begins to deteriorate.
Standard progressive lenses are manufactured for standardized parameters like the distance between your eyes and how the glasses sit in your face. Premium progressive lenses can be manufactured individually for you. That can result in bigger sharper areas and a more relaxed vision.
Why are Varilux lenses better than others?
Why are Varilux lenses better than other progressive lenses? Varilux lenses are backed by extensive, groundbreaking research, technology, and wearer testing. They offer natural, comfortable vision to anyone challenged by presbyopia.
How do I choose a progressive lens?
Lens shape is important, too. Progressive wearers should avoid aviators and cat-eyes because both can cut off the bottom portion of the prescription, resulting in a loss of reading vision. Instead, they should look for shorter frames with rounded edges such as horn-rimmed, retro wingtip, circular, and oval ones.
Is Varilux and Crizal same?
Yes, Crizal ® No-Glare lens treatment is available on all Varilux lenses and is the best option for a No-Glare treatment for your Varilux lenses. Crizal No-Glare treatment reduces the glare that causes eye fatigue, helping you see, look, and feel better.
