The world’s first multifocal lens
Multifocal lenses provide clear and sharp vision at all distances with a fine transition, while also providing the correction you need. This means that their progressive dioptric transition (from bottom to top) helps to reduce eye fatigue and gives the wearer a natural visual experience.
The world’s first multifocal lens was developed by Essilor in 1959 under the name Varilux. Since then, Essilor has continued to develop its lenses to offer the best possible solution for presbyopic spectacle wearers. Each Varilux multifocal lens design is controlled by a strict protocol of wearer and clinical tests to ensure an optimal and natural visual experience.
With the launch of the Varilux S Series, Essilor opens a new chapter in the long line of technological innovations offered by Varilux lenses.
Since the invention of multifocal lenses, each successive generation has offered sharper images and a better visual experience, but there have always been trade-offs to accept.
