Varifocal Glasses

I am pleased to announce that our new Varifocal Glasses range is now launched.

However, due to the demand for the time being they are only available through this page. I will of course be adding the links to the main web site but if I was to do this straight away I would be overwhelmed with orders for varifocal glasses.

As mentioned in my previous post on varifocal glasses the way in which we supply varifocal lenses is a little more complex than out standard lenses so here’s how it works.

First make your selection from the two ranges we have launched (Gants Varifocal Glasses & Ladies Varifocal Glasses). Order your glasses in the normal way using your prescription.

When we receive your order we will send you an empty frame with “dummy” lenses in them and a pre paid return envelope.

You will then need to have a friend take a photograph of you wearing the frames and return the glasses and photograph in the pre paid envelope.

We will then scale the photo, take the measurements and glaze your new varifocal glasses. Instructions are supplied with the glasses.

However, If you have any questions regarding this service please leave a comment and I will try to answer them for you.

Many of you have asked “Why can’t you supply varifocals online?”

First let me explain a little how Varifocals work.

I am sure you probably know this but Varifocals blend gradually from your Distance prescription Through your intermediate prescription into your Reading prescription.

This means that the exact point of the distance part of the lens needs to be set at the same height as your pupil (This needs to be millimetre perfect).

The way we would normally measure this in the practice is to place the frame on the patient and measure the distance between the patients pupil and the bottom rim of the new frame in millimetres. 

Each frame you wear will have a different height measurement. Now if we put the same model frame on 3 different people, we would again have 3 different results. Obviously when purchasing Varifocals online this measurement cannot be taken and it’s not a measurement that can be taken from an old pair of glasses and incorporated into a new pair.Some companies will supply them but they will estimate the measurement and they may not work out.

Full details when this is launched will be made available (at a discount) to subscribers of the eye care blog updater service first.
