Varifocals vs Occupational
Choosing the right lenses for your frames
Today's world is increasingly visually demanding; from mobile phones to tablets, laptops and PCs, the range of distances we need in focus has changed. Understanding the difference can help you choose the lens that best suits your daily activities.
Varifocals
Occupational
Varifocals are a great option for moving around and seeing clearly at all distances simultaneously. They allow you to switch focus from near to far without changing glasses, making them ideal for daily life and on-the-go activities. But for longer periods of dedicated close work, an occupational varifocal, also called an enhanced reader, might provide a better solution.
Occupational lenses can help with posture and reduce the neck ache from trying to use varifocals or just reading glasses. The bottom part of the lens gives clear vision for reading small print and the top of the lens gives you range that allows you to see a PC across the desk. They're easier to use than varifocals, offer good value as an additional pair and are great for hobbies that need both near and mid-range focus.
