Varifocal Glasses

It can take your eyes between a few days to a couple of weeks to adjust to varifocal lenses. However, if you still have trouble adjusting to them after a couple of weeks, you should consult with your optician.

Feeling dizzy is completely normal at first as the eyes take time to adjust to multiple prescriptions in one lens. However, dizziness should subside after trying varifocal glasses for a few days.

It's normal to take time adjusting to varifocal glasses. However, here are some helpful tips to make the process easier:

• Begin by wearing your varifocal glasses in familiar settings, such as your home.
• Move your head and eyes together to look through the appropriate part of the lens. For distance vision, look straight ahead through the top part of the lens. For reading, look through the bottom of the lens while keeping your chin up. For intermediate vision (arm’s-length tasks), look through the middle part of the lens.
• Gradually, practice wearing them in different environments such as at work, while driving or in social situations.
• Build up wearing time starting with a few hours. It will help your eyes adjust to varying focal lengths and distances.

If you’re still experiencing discomfort after a while, get in touch with your glasses retailer for further support.

If you suffer from presbyopia, you need multiple glasses to see clearly at all distances. Varifocal glasses solve this problem by combining multiple prescriptions in a single pair. They allow you to see clearly at multiple distances - near, intermediate and distance, eliminating the constant need to switch between different pairs of glasses.

Varifocal lenses are a bit more expensive than single-vision lenses because they incorporate multiple focal points in one lens. However, the price also depends on the brand, materials and lens customisations. At Feel Good Contacts, varifocal lenses start from just £49. You can also enjoy 10% OFF your first order, making them even more affordable.
