The 45-year-old of today is very different from the one that existed 20 or even 10 years ago. Their needs are different, and so is their daily life. This generation now has specific factors that define its vision needs.
For example:
- They spend many hours online
- They are much more active
- They are always alert
- They multitask constantly
- They frequently and dynamically change viewing distances
- Most activities happen within arm's length (especially in office jobs)
What do modern presbyopes expect from their glasses?
- To maintain their work pace without delays
- To see clearly and effortlessly in their busy and fast-paced daily life
However, progressive lenses still have performance limits, especially at near and intermediate distances. The main issue users face is having to adjust their posture and gaze to see clearly through each lens zone.
That’s why the Varilux X Series was created. It offers the most extended visual fields at intermediate and near distances. With Xtend technology, there's no need to search for the right part of the lens. The Varilux X series leverages the technologies of Varilux S, Synchroneyes, and Nanoptix to ensure top performance with wide visual fields and no "swim" sensation.
Responding to the challenges modern presbyopes face, the Varilux X series redefined near vision at arm's length distance.
The Varilux X series takes into account all visual needs at close range. There are multiple near distances corresponding to an imaginary sphere with a radius of 40–70 cm—roughly the span of our arms.
In this way, near vision is more extended than ever before, and users no longer need to search for the correct spot on the lens.
