Varilux
Invented in 1959 by Essilor®, the Varilux® lens was the first varifocal lens, and one that brings a real revolution for those with presbyopia. Since then, Essilor® have constantly pushed the boundaries of technology and gathered a robust in-depth understanding of presbyopes’ needs, to create a range of Varilux® varifocal lenses for your specific lifestyle requirements.
Varilux® XR series™ - Instant sharpness, even in motion*
The Varilux® XR series™ is designed using artificial intelligence so you experience instant sharpness in motion* and seamless transitions from near to far.
Eye movement is multi-directional but a standard varifocal lens is designed to support a linear eye movement, which can make it hard for eyes to focus quickly and sharply enough on all the different views that we are exposed to day-to-day. The Varilux® XR series™ lens responds to the way your eyes really move, giving you a more natural vision experience.

Cutting-edge technology
Varilux® XR series™ lenses combine 3 cutting edge technologies to provide the best solution for presbyopes:
XR-motion™
optimises both lenses according to your prescription and your predicted visual behaviour, ensuring more fluid and sharp vision
Nanoptix®
smooths distortion at the periphery of the lens to minimise the unbalancing 'swim' sensation in dynamic situations, like walking up or down stairs
Xtend®
blends near and intermediate zones of the lens to provide clear vision at arm's length
From our wearers
• Varilux® XR series™ lenses give outstanding perceived performance
• 9/10 Wearers experienced instant sharpness at all distances**
• 95% of wearers adapted to the lenses from the first day**
• +49% volume of sharp and fluid vision vs Varilux® X series™ lenses***
Varilux® Physio® 3.0 - Effortless vision even on the move
Thanks to the technology inside the lens you will enjoy improved sharpness of detail, wider fields of vision and great contrast, whatever the situation and in any light conditions. Light sources will be clear and true resulting in high resolution vision. Take a look at the below benefits:
Extended vision
Clarity of vision at all vision distances – near far and everything in between
Easy to wear varifocals
Adapt quickly to your new glasses
Smooth visual adjustments
Seamless transitions between seeing zones
Sharp vision
Reduced image distortions across all vision zones
Technology
Varilux® Physio® lenses are modified to the prescription of both of your eyes so that your eyes work better together, resulting in improved focus for smooth transitions between distance to near vision zones and vice versa. These lenses include WAVE 2.0™ which controls distortions and eliminates them while customising wavefront correction at all distances and Binocular Booster™ which manages the differences between right and left eye to provide effortless vision at all distances.
