A Guide to Perfect Glasses

Creating the perfect pair glasses involves five essential measurements, ideally seven. Firstly, the Pupillary Distance (PD) must be measured in millimeters and can vary for distance, intermediate, and near vision, changing as you age. Secondly, the Optical Center measurement determines the of your pupils with the lenses, requiring precise vertical and horizontal assessments while wearing the frames Lastly, Vertex Distance is crucial as it measures the space from your eye to the back of the lens, ensuring optimal vision correction.

Better Progressive Lenses

Conventional Progressive lenses provide narrower vision areas that limit your field of clear vision and add peripheral Distortion. Conventional lenses are older technology. 

 

Digital progressive lenses, on the other hand, provide broader vision, reducing peripheral-induced distortions. The better the design, the better the image, and the better the measurements, the better the results.

Soft or Hard Progressive? Brand or Generic?

How the power is distributed in a lens is called a map. Some are good and some are bad. Today's progressives are mostly digital and are freeform in design, meaning that computers pretty much control everything in their design and reproduction. Knowing which progressive is better for each patient comes down to experience and opticians optical knowledge.

For starters, there are two main categories in progressives' hard and soft maps. These maps provide different advantages to each patient. When the optician is interviewing you, they are gaining knowledge of the intended use as well as personal viewing preferences.

A soft progressive means that the transition of power is smooth, and thus most patients prefer that. The problem is that many smooth transitions sacrifice the width of the reading area. 

A hard progressive, on the other hand, provides a more demarcated transition from distance to near and usually provides a wider viewing area. The optician has the knowledge and experience to determine which progressive lens is best for you. Some smooth progressive  may have larger reading areas with smoother transitions. 

Brand Progressives

Brand names provide name recognition and a guarantee that their lenses meet higher standards. Brand-name manufacturers are typically larger companies with the financial backing to invest in research and, as such, tend to drive innovation.

 

Varilux is well known for being the inventor of progressive lenses. Even today, in the era of digital freeform technology, their lenses have some of the best maps. They have excellent lenses, such as Varilux X or Xr. 

Our opticians are knowledgeable in fitting these lenses and have developed their own fitting techniques.
