Single Vision Lenses

Single Vision Lenses are used to correct common visual defects such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.

Progressive Lenses

Progressive Lenses offer the best solution for presbyopia. Since Essilor developed Varilux®, the world's first progressive lens, people over the age of 40 have been able to enjoy natural vision from near to far.

Varilux® lenses offer a wide, uninterrupted field of vision plus a youthful appearance.

Bifocals

Bifocals offer far and near correction, but this older style of lens has an obvious line that affects vision, is not as cosmetically attractive and can be hazardous for older wearers.

Reading Glasses

Reading Glasses can also be used to correct presbyopia. They correct near vision (less than 1m), but objects at all other distances will be blurred. This is often inconvenient and if you require glasses for driving, two pairs of spectacles may be needed.

Visique recommend Varilux - the best selling progressive lens in the world
