Varilux® Varifocal Lenses
Discover our range of premium varifocal lenses from Varilux®
Invented in 1959 by Essilor®, the Varilux® lens was the first varifocal lens, and one that brings a real revolution for those with presbyopia. Since then, Essilor® have constantly pushed the boundaries of technology and gathered a robust in-depth understanding of presbyopes’ needs, to create a range of Varilux® varifocal lenses for your specific lifestyle requirements.
Varilux® XR series™ - Instant sharpness, even in motion*
The Varilux® XR series™ is designed using artificial intelligence so you experience instant sharpness in motion* and seamless transitions from near to far.
Eye movement is multi-directional but a standard varifocal lens is designed to support a linear eye movement, which can make it hard for eyes to focus quickly and sharply enough on all the different views that we are exposed to day-to-day. The Varilux® XR series™ lens responds to the way your eyes really move, giving you a more natural vision experience.
