January 04, 2024Why do we need a varifocal photograph from you? This photograph allows us to take precise measurements of both your PD (Pupillary Distance) and height. PD is the distance between the centres of your pupils and plays a crucial role in the process of ordering varifocals (progressive lenses). Ensuring that the optical centre of the lens aligns precisely with your PD results in the best possible vision correction. In addition to obtaining your PD, we also consider your height measurements from the picture, as they are equally crucial in ensuring that your varifocals are tailored specifically to you. Knowing your precise measurements for the progressive lens is essential for optimal performance and visual comfort.

We all know the challenges and perils of skiing, and these are made worse for glasses-wearers trying to ski without proper prescription ski masks. Safety & Protection: Skiing in regular glasses is not a good idea when travelling down a mountain at 40+ mph.

November 16, 2022Varifocal lenses are an innovation that serves as a superior option to bifocals. These lenses are often needed as we get older and struggle to see things close up. This means we require lenses with multiple focal points. Varifocal glasses contain combination lenses that provide clarity and clearer vision for all distances. There is no visible line with varifocals and they offer a smoother transition than bifocals. Choosing the Right Frame Before choosing your lenses, it is important to choose the right frame. There are extra considerations to be taken into account when buying a frame for varifocal lenses. For varifocals, your glasses frame must have a depth of at least 27mm. It is also important to consider the

November 15, 2022The eyes are a very complex organ, and the quality of your vision depends on the quality of the connection between your eyes and brain. There are many different parts of your eyes that have to work together in order for you to see. If the quality of the connection is compromised, it will cause problems with your vision. Read on to learn more about the process your eyes go through in order to work properly. Light Passes Through Your Eyes Light enters through the front layer of your eye, called the cornea. The cornea bends the light before it passes through to the pupil, to bring the object you're looking at into focus. The pupil is in the center of the iris (the coloured part of your eye). It automatically increases or decreases in size depending on the intensity of light.
