What are Varifocals?
Also known as progressive lenses, varifocals are an advancement made from the bifocal lenses. As the name suggests, bifocals consist of two focal points whereas varifocals have multiple focal points.
The different sections of the varifocal lenses are segregated smartly so that it can serve the purpose of sight correction for near and far objects, and also anything that lies in between. The segregation is invisible to the naked eyes, which is not the case in case of bifocals lenses. This helps enhance the visual appeal of your glasses.
How do Varifocals work?
Using multiple focal points and three visibility zones, varifocals facilitate sight correction for objects at varying distances. You just need it to fit you well. Once this is achieved, the design of varifocals will automatically make it adjust for varying distances, as you look away from an object at a particular distance to one at another.
Varifocals facilitate a very smooth transition as we shift our eyes to objects at different distances. This may not always be the case with bifocals, which sometimes result in abrupt transition.
