There are different available lens options for you. You can choose depending on the benefits and how you will use the eyeglasses. It is also important to consider your budget when you are buying eyeglasses.
Single vision lenses are the most common type of prescription lens because they have the same prescription for the entire surface of the lens. It is designed to correct eyesight at one specific distance. It is usually prescribed for people who will use it for reading or working at a computer.
Varifocal lenses are the perfect prescription lens if you have more than one prescription to correct vision. They use two prescriptions in one lens so you will not buy two pairs of different eyeglasses to correct your vision.
If you develop an age-related eye condition called presbyopia that hinders you to be able to read or see prints very closely, varifocals can help in addressing this problem.
When you undergo routine eye examination, presbyopia can be detected and can be managed by using varifocal lenses. Some people are not aware that it is possible to be both short or long-sighted as you age.
How Can You Adjust to Wearing Varifocal Lenses?
Just like the first time you tried on your new prescription glasses, you need an adjustment period to get used to them. Varifocal lenses can be a little different.
These are tips you can follow to help you adjust and be comfortable in varifocal lenses:
- Do not use your old glasses.
- Wear new glasses throughout the day.
- Fit the eyeglasses as close to your face as possible.
- When looking at an object, move your head, not just your eyes.
The adaptation period differs for individuals. For some people, it lasts only a few hours while for others it takes days or weeks before they have fully adjusted and feel comfortable in their varifocal lenses.
