Choosing the Right Varilux Lenses: A Guide to Progressive Eyeglasses

Introduction

If you're looking for a new pair of progressive lenses, you may have some questions about which ones are right for you. We've put together this guide to help with that process.

Progressive lens benefits

Progressive lenses are much more comfortable to wear than bifocals, and they're also less expensive. In addition to these benefits, progressive lenses are easier to read with and better for computer use than bifocals.

What is a progressive lens?

Progressive lenses are a type of eyeglasses that have a continuous, or gradual, increase in optical power. They are also known as no-line bifocals or no-line trifocals because they don't have distinct lines between the different levels of magnification. Instead, you'll notice that there's just one lens with multiple powers built into it--and it changes depending on what you're doing with your eyes at any given moment.

Progressive lenses are ideal for people who want to minimize the number of pairs of glasses they need to wear throughout their day but still want optimal vision correction as soon as they put them on in the morning (or whenever).

The different levels of progressive lenses

There are five levels of progressive lenses: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5. Each one offers a different amount of magnification and range of vision within the lens.

• Level 1 (or low prescription) is for people with low prescriptions who want to be able to see far away with minimal magnification. This is typically used for people who have had cataract surgery or other eye surgeries that improve their eyesight but don't require glasses at all times.
• Level 2 (or medium prescription) has some magnification but still allows you to see far away without wearing glasses all day long if needed. This level works well if you already wear contacts or just need something light on your face while driving or reading in bed at night before going to sleep--it doesn't give too much magnification so it won't feel uncomfortable when not being worn constantly throughout the day!
• Levels 3-5 offer increasing amounts of magnification until they become almost like binoculars where everything looks closer than it actually appears due to their ability increase focus power by changing shape along with pupil size changes depending upon lighting conditions outside versus indoors vs dark conditions inside homes/buildings etcetera...

How to decide on the right varilux lens for you

Choosing the right varilux lens for you depends on your specific needs. You can buy varilux lenses online or get them from your optometrist, who can help you find the best option for your vision and lifestyle. If you prefer to shop in person, ask questions about each type of lens before making a decision--this will help ensure that you get exactly what works best for your body and lifestyle.

Varying levels of magnification are available depending on how much magnification is necessary for each patient's individual needs. For example, less magnification may be needed for distance viewing than nearwork such as reading or computer use; some people may need more than one type of magnifying progressive lenses (for example: one pair with low power nearsightedness correction plus another pair with moderate-to-high power nearsightedness correction).

Use this guide to find the right progressive lens for you.

Choosing the right progressive lens is a process that requires careful consideration.

Progressive lenses are available in a variety of different levels, each with its own unique characteristics. Here's how they work:

• Progressive lenses start out as regular glasses and become progressively stronger as you move forward on your journey through life. You can choose from three different levels: mild, standard, or high-index (or "hi-index"). Mild progressives offer minimal magnification; standard progressives provide moderate magnification; hi-index progressives offer maximum magnification for those who need stronger vision correction throughout their daily activities.

Progressive lenses are available in both single-vision and bifocal versions. Single-vision progressives offer the same level of magnification in both eyes, while bifocal progressives have different levels of magnification depending on which side of the lens you look through.
