How do multifocal lenses work?
The three prescriptions are placed in different parts of the lens. Each area gradually blends into the next for a smooth viewing transition. By looking through the appropriate area, you can see clearly and comfortably at every distance.

FAQ
Normal lenses only have one prescription strength to correct a single distance. Varifocal lenses are multifocal lenses that provide seamless vision correction for multiple distances. They allow you to see clearly at different distances without switching glasses.
If you need vision correction for near, far, and in between, we recommend using your varifocal lenses all day instead of switching to a different pair. This will also help you to adjust to your lenses if they are new.
varifocal have three prescription strengths, while bifocal lenses only have two. Bifocals also have a visible line separating the distance and near prescriptions, while multifocal lenses have a gradual change in prescription throughout the lens, giving you a seamless transition.
When trying to look at something, remember to move your head, not your eyes, and point your nose towards the object.
It is normal to experience some slight distortion towards the edges of your lenses.
Gradually increase the wear time of your new glasses over the first few days, for example, half-day wearing. Try to avoid going between your old and new glasses, as your eyes need time to get used to the new ones.
