“Very impressed with the fast and friendly service. My lenses are varifocal, the ones NewLenses have fitted seem to be very high quality, better than the previous ones from a high-street chain.” Timothy Morgan
NewLenses offer two types of varifocal lens
Premium Digital Freeform Varifocal Lens (Left)
This is our most cost-effective lens. This is a high-quality lens and vision will be significantly better than a standard varifocal.
Elite Digital Freeform Varifocal Lens (Right)
This is a branded lens (Kodak or Essilor) and will provide a wider field of view in the intermediate and reading elements compared to our premium option
Lens measurements and fitting
With Varifocal lenses, the position of the lens relative to the eye is more important than with single vision lenses. In order to fit the lenses correctly we ask our customers to follow one of the following options –
-
Processing Time
Varifocal lenses are complex and take a little extra time to complete - typically a week to 10 days. If you need your glasses in a hurry, please let us know and we will do everything we can to minimise this.
-
Frame Suitability
Whilst most frames are suitable for varifocal lenses, we would not recommend fitting them to very shallow frames. Normally we recommend a lens height of at least 26mm.
If you have any questions, please contact us and we'll be very happy to help.
