We understand the hesitation some people feel about making the switch to varifocals. Concerns about adjusting to them, worries about vision clarity, how much they’ll cost, or even past bad experiences can make anyone a bit cautious. But we’re here to change that with our award-winning varifocals and a guarantee that gives you complete peace of mind.
Common Concerns, Solved
“Will I be able to get used to them?”
Modern varifocals are designed for smooth transitions between different vision zones, making the adjustment period much shorter and more comfortable. Most of our patients adapt within just a few days, and they’re pleasantly surprised at how seamless the process is.
“What about peripheral distortion or blurry spots?“
Our best varifocal lenses, after extensive trials, offer a sharp and clear vision with minimal peripheral distortion. These lenses have won awards for their performance and have been highly praised by both new and experienced wearers alike. Whether you’re reading, working on a screen, or looking into the distance, our varifocals provide clear vision at every distance.
“I’ll just keep using reading glasses.”
Juggling multiple pairs of glasses can be a hassle—especially when you’re constantly switching between near and far vision. With varifocals, you get the convenience of one lens that works for everything. No more carrying around multiple pairs or worrying about losing your reading glasses.
“Are They Expensive?”
Varifocal lenses do cost more than ‘single-vision’ lenses, and it’s also true that the modern/best lenses cost more than the old lenses that had more adaptation problems.
However, compared to buying separate distance AND near glasses, varifocals can often work out to be a similar cost, if not cheaper. And the convenience gained priceless!
*on a separate note, you can also spread the cost of your glasses (not just varifocals) over 3-6 months at no extra cost should you wish*
Our Process for Perfect Varifocals
To get the very best results from your varifocals, we take a careful, step-by-step approach. Here’s how we ensure you leave with lenses that work perfectly for you:
- Getting Your Prescription Exactly Right
The Optician (Huw or Paul!) takes the time to ensure your prescription is spot on. This part cannot be rushed, and neither should it (in my opinion!) be carried out by a machine! The prescription has to be 100% right for your needs.
- Choosing the Right Frame for You
It’s not just about style—though we certainly want you to love how you look in your new glasses! We also help you choose a frame that works with your prescription, ensuring the lenses are positioned correctly to maximise performance. Certain frame shapes and sizes work better with varifocal lenses, and we’ll guide you through the options.
- Perfect Frame Measurements for Your Face
This is a crucial step! We take exact measurements to ensure your lenses sit correctly in relation to your eyes. Even the slightest misalignment can affect how well your varifocals work. With our precision measurements, you’ll experience seamless vision across all distances.
- Our 100% Guarantee
We understand that choosing new glasses, especially varifocals, can feel like a big decision. That’s why we offer a 100% guarantee with your purchase. If for any reason you’re not happy within 60 days, you have unlimited options to change your prescription or frame—or get your money back, no questions asked.
Why Wait?
If you’ve been putting off varifocals due to concerns or past experiences, now is the time to try again. With our award-winning lenses, personalised fitting process, and full guarantee, you can make the switch to varifocals with complete confidence.
