As you age, your eyes gradually lose the ability to focus on nearby objects. If you are already nearsighted (can’t see objects at a distance), you will need bifocals or progressive lenses. If this sounds familiar – because this has started to happen to your eyes, or because you already wear these types of lenses – then you’ll want to read the rest of this post.

We are now offering new ways to save on these lenses. Starting April 1, purchase the Varilux Progressive lenses with the Crizal Non-Glare & Transition lenses, and receive a $30 mail-in rebate. Add a pair of Xperio Polarized UV sunglasses and triple your savings to $90.

Interested in the benefit of these types of lenses?

Varilux is the most recognized progressive lens in the industry. The company created the first progressive lens in 1959. Since then, Varilux has led the way in research and development in this area and uses a patented technology in its progressive lenses. This technology provides sharp vision and smooth transitions as your eyes change from near and far viewing areas. Many progressive and bifocal lens wearers become very frustrated with blurriness and distortions that sometimes occur during viewing transitions. Varilux Progressive lenses were designed to eliminate those frustrations and allow the lens wearer to feel like they have their “normal” vision back with clarity both near and far. Combined with the Crizal Non-Glare and Transition lenses, which we recently posted about here, you pretty much have the best pair of glasses on the market!

Even with Transition lenses, if you are a glasses wearer, you’ll want a pair of prescription polarized sun lenses. This is especially true inside a vehicle, as windshields block most UV rays, preventing Transitions from darkening to a comfortable shade needed for bright sunlight. Xperio Polarized UV lenses work with any frame. They help protect your eyes from damaging UV rays entering from the front and back sides of your lenses. They also virtually eliminate the glare that reflects off roads, snow, water, and sand, and are scratch resistant.

If progressive and polarized sun lenses are a good fit for you, feel free to call or stop by any time during normal business hours. I would be happy to talk to you more about the benefits of these lenses and the special “Power of 3” offer.
