Varifocal glasses are a simple way to get prescription glasses that keep your vision clear for reading, intermediate range, and long distance, all in one pair. Unlike bifocals, there’s no visible line, just a smooth transition through the lens corridor for more natural viewing.
The right corridor width, correct measurements, and quality glazing all help with comfort, especially for driving, screens, and day-to-day wear.
Most people adjust within a short adaptation period, and choosing the right lens options can make varifocals feel even easier to wear.
Any of our frames can be fitted with varifocal lenses by selecting the varifocal option at checkout. Each lens is custom-made to your prescription, ensuring sharp vision and everyday eye comfort at all distances.
All of our varifocal glasses are available with a choice of lens coatings and tints, which can be added during checkout. These include anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and blue-light coatings, which can improve vision comfort and lens durability.
If you frequently use your glasses outdoors, you can add tinted or light-reactive lenses to your varifocals. This adds an extra level of UV protection to your glasses, further improving eye comfort in bright conditions.
If you’d like to upgrade, Alpha varifocals are our premium option. Made using advanced freeform technology, they’re made to deliver a wider, steadier field of view and crisper vision across near, intermediate and distance.
The result is a smoother, more natural transition as your eyes move through the lens, which is ideal if you want a more premium varifocal experience day to day.
Simply choose “Alpha Premium” after selecting “Varifocals & Progressives” during the checkout process.
Most people adapt to varifocals within one to two weeks, though it may take longer if it is your first time wearing them.
A small amount of peripheral blurring at the edges of the lens is completely normal in the early days and tends to fade naturally as your eyes adjust. Wearing your new glasses consistently is the single most effective thing you can do to speed up the process, so try to avoid switching back to your old pair during the adaptation period.
Varifocals work best when you turn your head towards what you are looking at, rather than glancing sideways through the lens. It quickly becomes second nature.
Look straight ahead for distance vision, through the middle of the lens for screens and intermediate distances, and slightly downward for reading.
We recommend giving it a try before drawing any conclusions about the fit or prescription. If you are still experiencing discomfort after a fortnight, get in touch with our team.
In most cases, a quick prescription check or minor adjustment is all that is needed, and with our 30-day money-back guarantee, you can order with complete confidence.

Varifocal glasses are lenses that correct near, intermediate, and distance vision in one pair. They change power gradually from top to bottom, so you can read, use a screen, and see far away without swapping glasses.
Varifocals are best for people who need help with both distance and close-up vision, most often due to presbyopia. If you want one pair for everyday life instead of switching between reading and distance glasses, varifocals are a practical choice.
Single-vision lenses correct one distance only, either close range or long distance. Bifocals correct two distances but have a visible line where the prescription changes.
Varifocals blend multiple prescriptions into one lens, which looks like a standard lens and supports more natural viewing across distances.
Yes, you can! Any frame in our collection can be fitted with varifocal lenses. Start by choosing your frame, selecting varifocal lenses at checkout, and we’ll glaze lenses custom-made to your prescription.
Yes, you can customise your varifocal glasses with a range of lens coatings and tints, including anti-reflective finishes, scratch resistance, and UV protection. Light-reactive and tinted lens options are also available for added convenience outdoors. All of our lens extras can be added during the ordering process.
Pick a frame, choose the varifocal lens option, and enter your prescription at checkout. If you do not have your prescription to hand, you can place the order and send it to us afterwards by email.
We then glaze your lenses to your measurements and dispatch once quality checks are complete.
You need a valid, up-to-date prescription and your pupillary distance (PD). PD helps us centre the optics correctly for your eyes and may be written on your prescription. If not, your optician can provide it, or you can use our at-home PD guide.
Varifocal fitting height is set from your chosen frame and glazing setup, so you do not need to calculate it yourself.
Most people adapt within 1-2 weeks. Wearing them consistently and pointing your nose towards what you want to see will help your eyes get used to the varifocal glasses.
If you are still struggling after around two weeks, contact us so we can help check the fit.
Yes! Varifocals include an intermediate zone designed for mid-range distances like a computer screen.
For long screen days, an anti-reflective coating and an optional blue-light filter can improve comfort, especially in bright offices or under overhead lighting.
Affordable varifocals can still be high quality when the lenses are made accurately and glazed correctly.
Price usually reflects lens design, materials, and extras (such as thinner lenses, wider viewing areas, and premium coatings), not whether the lenses are “real” varifocals.
If you’re unsure which lens pack suits your prescription and lifestyle, our team can help you choose.
There’s no difference; varifocal glasses and progressive glasses are simply two terms for the same thing. Both refer to lenses that offer a gradual transition between multiple prescriptions, allowing you to see clearly at all distances without any visible lines on the lens.
