If you’re over 40, there’s a good chance you wear glasses. When you were younger, you probably thought about fashion and style and the most important thing was probably the glasses frames. But what about the relationship between your vision and your lifestyle? An office worker staring at a screen all day is different to a delivery driver who keeps their eyes on the distance. And in recreation, watching on-demand video on a tablet or reading a book 12 inches away is very different from doing the gardening or playing football. When it comes to our vision, we’re all different.
That’s why you need to think about the LENSES in your glasses. Varilux® lenses are available at most local independent opticians. You may even know many people who wear them without your knowledge. The choice of lenses matters because your eyes matter. That’s why it’s important that you take an active role in choosing lenses that provide a good fit with your lifestyle, and Varilux has lenses for every lifestyle.
Take our quiz below, which is designed to home in on the sort of lenses that are right for you and your lifestyle in just three questions.
A lot of what you look it is only a short distance from your eyes, so you need glasses for close-up vision. But you also need to be able to see things at medium range and even long range. Also, there may be occasions when you go from the artificial lighting conditions of an office into the outdoors. Your ideal glasses should be equipped for both indoors and outdoors at work at all distances.
You interact with people in close proximity, but you might have to write a quick note or read a document at close range. Whereas, at other times you may need to focus on a sign in the distance. Also, for those occasions when you go outside, after being indoors for a while, you’ll want lenses that shield you from bright sunlight. The right lenses for you would be the ones that react to sunlight outside and go clear when indoors.
Your work involves a lot of seeing things directly in front of you, so most of the time your vision is focused on the mid-range. And, of course, there will also be times when you read something at close range, like printed instructions. When you step outside, you’ll be aware of the change of indoor lighting to sunlight. You may benefit from glasses that tint outdoors for comfortable vision and are clear indoors for optimal visual clarity.
You’re outdoors a lot, and sometimes the sunlight is bright. On occasion, you go indoors and your eyes need to adapt to lower levels of light. You need lenses that adapt to these changes. You mainly focus on objects in the distance, at times you’ll need to able to see things that are close-up, whether it’s a speedometer or a printed document. This calls for suitable lenses that provide sharp vision at all distances and that also react to changing light conditions for visual comfort indoors and outdoors.
Varilux varifocals with Transitions light intelligent technology can provide you sharp vision from near to far whilst adapting to changing light. When you’re outside in sunlight, your lenses will automatically tint, so you’re not dazzled or reduced to a squint. When the sunlight is dim, the tint fades correspondingly. And when you go indoors, your lenses will return to a clear state for optimal visual clarity. Instead of your eyes having to strain to let more light in, or squint to keep too much light out, the lenses do it for you.
Varilux varifocal lenses allow you to see hand-held reading material, a computer screen at your desk, or a person or road sign in the distance with a shift of a gaze - it’s like having several pairs of glasses in one. Instead of having to carry a pair of reading glasses and a pair for distance, you have it all in one pair. Varilux x Transitions lenses give you that high level of flexibility and convenience to suit your lifestyle.
