What Are Varifocal Glasses?
Varifocal glasses, also known as varifocals, varifocal lens, PLA, or progressive lenses, have a gradual change in strength from the top of the lens to the bottom with multiple focal points in between. Unlike bifocals, varifocal glasses have no specific area of lens strength, but progressive lens zones.
The way to look through varifocal glasses depends on what you want to look at. If you are looking at the distance, you look through the top of the lens. If you want to look at the close objects, you may need to move your eyes lower to keep the objects in focus. For the best close-up focus, you need to look through the bottom of the lens.
The benefits of varifocal glasses are that they do not need to buy or prepare 2 separate pairs of glasses or need to switch between frames for different vision needs.
However, if you wear the varifocal glasses for the first time, you may come across some problems.

What symptoms does myopia have?
Myopia is a problem related to the eye's ability to focus on distant objects. The manifestation of myopia is that blurred vision at a long distance. But near-distance vision is good. Early myopia often has long-distance vision fluctuation and squinting when looking at distant objects. Because looking close need not or less use an adjustment, and set function is weakened correspondingly. Those with high myopic have poor far vision, often accompanied by poor night vision, floaters, and other symptoms. Changes in the fundus of the eye can occur to varying degrees.

Adjustment of the upper and lower position of the nose pad
The nose pad can be pulled up and down with the pliers of the nose pad to achieve the purpose. You can use needle-nose pliers to clamp on the nose pad and apply torque in a certain direction to change the upper and lower position of the nose pad. When applying the torque, the nose pad can be pressed down or pulled up by the pliers to change the position of the deformation of the bracket, to prevent repeated deformation and fracture near the solder joint.
Can I order progressive glasses online?
Glasses belong to the half medical and half business industry, in addition to the price of glasses, frame style, lens quality, there is more need in professional glasses services. The quality will be very different. The refractive index, film layer, light transmittance, and anti-oil resistance of the lenses almost invisible to the naked eye will be very different, so the prices of different brands of glasses are not comparable. There are many considerations when buying progressive glasses online. If the lens is too far away from the eye, people with myopia may not be able to see clearly, and people with hyperopia may have too much diopter. If the distance is too close, the opposite is true. In addition to the accuracy of optometric data, we need to pay attention to the importance of frame to maximize the benefits of the progressive lens.
