Guide to Choosing Varilux Lenses in Florence

Varilux progressive lenses, created in 1959, were the first progressive lenses in the world.

They were born from the need to see all distances—far, intermediate, and near—with a single pair of glasses, overcoming the concept of bifocals which corrected only far and near vision, neglecting all intermediate viewing distances.

Over time, Varilux progressive lenses have seen constant and increasing technological innovation, thus becoming increasingly high-performing and offering different designs according to the wearers' needs.

But it was with the second generation of progressive lenses that Essilor established itself on the European market as a reference point for presbyopia correction.

Usually, those who wear progressive lenses find themselves having to adopt mechanical postural behaviors in order to find the useful zones of the lens that allow them clear vision at the chosen distance, whether far, intermediate, or near.

With Varilux, all this no longer exists, as these are progressive lenses with a freeform geometry with internal progression and an exclusive patent that breaks down power into percentages and allows for a progression that leads to an addition spread over a wider and more comfortable area. Varilux lenses, with their latest generation technology, are top-of-the-range, and thanks to the nanoptic geometry, made of cells, that sensation of swaying when moving the eyes is no longer felt; at the same time, W.A.V.E. 2.0 technology allows for clearer and wider vision with extreme precision in details, an enlarged field of vision, and a significant enhancement of contrasts that leads to a high perception of colors. This allows for quick and easy adaptation, given the ability to maintain one's natural posture when focusing at multiple distances simultaneously, without the need to move one's head. Finally, dynamic vision even up close.

Types of Varilux Lenses: Xclusive, XR Series, Physio, E Series, XR Series

Varilux is capable of offering multiple designs to wearers of progressive lenses, starting from the assumption that everyone must satisfy their visual needs according to the type of life they lead.

Varilux Xclusive progressive lenses achieve the highest level of visual performance by having the greatest possible customization, considering physiological, postural, and behavioral visual parameters. This allows for easier access to the near vision zone and, above all, an enviable width and depth of the latter.

Varilux XR Series lenses guarantee natural vision, as they are able to anticipate the eye movements of the wearer, which allows for optimizing one's way of looking, providing immediate clarity in rapid changes of movement.

Varilux Physio 3.0 meets the needs of presbyopes who seek a dynamic and immediate visual solution that keeps pace with their daily routines, and thanks to the W.A.V.E. 2.0 patent, it benefits from a considerable increase in contrast that allows for maintaining excellent color perception even in low light conditions.

Varilux E series progressive lenses allow for a successful approach to multifocal lenses by early presbyopes, as the specific geometry allows for easy and immediate adaptation thanks to optimized lateral vision, and the swaying effect caused by lateral aberrations is minimized.

Over the years, the eye undergoes physiological changes, among these presbyopia, which manifests itself from around 42 years of age and is the difficulty of optimal focusing for near distances.

It is precisely all those with difficulty in clear near vision who are the beneficiaries of Varilux technology, which allows them to wear glasses and exploit the technological geometry of the lens, thus avoiding single-vision glasses only for near vision that would lead them to assume wrong postures and attitudes.
