"Specscart Varifocals are best-in-class in the industry with maximum user satisfaction and adaptation."
How Do Varifocals Work?
Unlike Single-Vision lenses with the same prescription power in the entire lens, Varifocals have different powers which gradually change from top to bottom (distance to reading) without any unwanted lines or markings on the lenses.
Whether you buy varifocals online or from physical stores, they all have 'soft focus' areas on the outer edges of the lenses, which create slight visual distortion. But our newly designed Varifocal lenses—which are made with Digital Raypath Technology— have the widest field of view and minimum soft focus area.
How Do You Know When You Need Varifocal Glasses?

You will notice that you'd need a separate pair of reading glasses to focus on small prints or using mobile devices. This is a sign that you may need varifocal glasses which can be confirmed with your optometrist.

How To Buy These Lenses
Frequently Asked Questions
Bifocal vs varifocal – what’s the difference?
Bifocal lenses are old – they have a visible line that separates reading and distance glasses. Varifocals are advanced digital lenses. They’re suitable as your reading, intermediate and distance glasses. There are no visible lines on varifocal lenses offering a smoother transition between different viewing distances.
What are the common issues faced with varifocal glasses?
It takes time to get used to varifocal glasses or progressive lenses. People generally feel difficulty focusing on things. Often they feel dizzy and experience slight headaches initially. But once the eyes get used to new lenses, there’s nothing better than a pair of varifocals for your vision!
What is the Returns policy on Varifocals?
We offer a 60-day no-questions-asked Returns Policy on every pair of varifocals sold at Specscart.
How long will it take to get used to varifocal lenses?
It takes around 14 days to get used to every new pair of glasses. However, in the case of Varifocals, it can take up to 4 weeks. This is because Varifocal or progressive lenses are digital lenses and your eyes take time to understand them. A good way to get used to Varifocals is to point your nose where you have to focus or concentrate. For eg. While driving if you need to look through the rearview mirror, try to turn your head slightly towards the mirror, instead of moving your eyes. Similarly, for reading, try to keep your chin slightly upwards and look through the reading portion of the lenses while reading. At the end of the 4 weeks, you will be a pro at using your new Varifocals. You can also contact our optician for help at +44(0)1613125767.
