Benefits of Upgrading to Essilor Varilux XR
1. Enhanced Visual Comfort and Clarity:

Varilux XR Series: Utilizes Xtend™ Technology, which allows wearers to see multiple distances through each point in the lens, providing a greater volume of vision for near-to-intermediate tasks without needing to adjust head position. Powered by behavioral artificial intelligence, these lenses predict how your eyes move, offering instant sharpness even in motion. XR-motion™ technology optimizes binocular vision and precisely positions focus zones according to your visual behavior profile.
2. Seamless Transitions:

VariluxXR lenses provide smooth transitions between different focal zones, eliminating the need to switch between different pairs of glasses for various tasks. This is particularly beneficial for activities that require frequent changes in focus, such as reading, using a computer, and driving.
3. Reduction of Visual Distortions:

Nanoptix™ Technology: Found in both series, this technology reduces the “off-balance” feeling common with progressive lenses by controlling magnification between visual zones, ensuring a more natural visual experience.
4. Improved Adaptation:
Varilux lenses are designed to ensure quick and easy adaptation. The advanced design and technology used in these lenses mean that wearers can adjust to their new glasses faster and with less discomfort compared to basic multifocal lenses.
5. Superior Vision in Various Lighting Conditions:
W.A.V.E. Technology 2™: This technology enhances vision in low-light conditions by reducing higher-order aberrations, providing sharper vision at all distances.
6. Personalized Fit:

The Varilux XR series, in particular, uses extensive data from real-life wearer tests to create a visual behavior profile for each individual. This personalized approach ensures that the lenses are tailored to the specific needs and habits of the wearer, offering a truly customized visual experience.
7. Extended Near Vision Zone:
The Varilux XR series offers up to a 25% extended near vision zone compared to previous designs, providing long-lasting comfort for close-up tasks.
By upgrading to Essilor VariluxXR lenses, individuals using basic multifocal lenses can enjoy a more comfortable, clear, and natural visual experience, tailored to their unique needs and lifestyle.
