Why Choose Varifocal Lenses for Your Rimless Eyewear?

If you own two pairs of rimless glasses – one for distance and another for reading or computer work, you’ll be aware of the hassle of constantly swapping one pair for another. If this sounds like you then it’s time to invest in varifocal lenses from Rimless Direct.
A Brief History of Varifocals​
Varifocals, also known as Progressive Addition Lenses (PAL) aren’t a new concept. In fact, the first commercially available PAL, was the Varilux® lens in 1959 – although it was more of a bifocal than a varifocal. In 1983, Carl Zeiss created progressive lenses which were closer to the ones we know today but they were still a fairly-crude design compared to modern progressive lenses. Now you can have high-quality varifocal lenses engineered by Zeiss, Nikon, Hoya, Kodak and Essilor - manufacturers of Varilux® lenses. 
The Benefits of Varifocals​
Apart from the convenience of having one pair of rimless glasses for both close work and distance, there are other benefits to choosing varifocals:

Thinner Lenses – As modern varifocal lenses are thin, yet strong, they can complement your rimless frames beautifully.
Less Visual Stress – Visual stress is caused by the constant movement between different fields of vision when wearing glasses which can result in a ‘swimming’ effect, blurriness and headaches. Modern progressive lenses such as Nikon’s MASTER range can ease visual stress with their advanced technology and wider field of vision.
Accounts for Variations in Each Eye – Progressive lenses take into account the variations in each eye yet look exactly the same to the observer.

Transition Lenses – Varifocals are also available as transition lenses which are clear indoors but get progressively darker in bright sunlight to help block out ultra-violet rays.   

Scratch Resistant – Scratch resistant coating can be added to your Rimless varifocal lenses to protect them from general wear and tear.
