Can sunglasses be fitted with varifocal lenses?

Sunglasses can be a beautiful aesthetic accessory, but, above all, they must be optical equipment offering optimum comfort.
Indeed, sunglasses must provide good protection from the sun's rays, but also offer perfect visual acuity.
To achieve this, the sunglass lenses can be adjusted to the wearer's vision, but can they be varifocal?

What are varifocal lenses?

Prescription eyeglass lenses, as some sunglasses', must correct a specific visual defect as accurately as possible.
Depending on the visual impairment in question, they will correct a difficulty in seeing up close or at a distance.
However, some people, such as those with astigmatism, need both near and distance vision correction.
In this case, the lenses can have several corrective foci, giving clear vision at all distances.
Also known as progressive lenses, varifocal lenses offer this multiple visual correction.
Without any particular effort, the eye adapts to any distance, both near and far.
Although they are often prescribed for people with astigmatism, varifocal lenses are also indicated when there is a combination of visual problems.
For example, a myopic person who has become presbyopic with age can wear this type of lens.
Unlike bifocal lenses, varifocal lenses offer a smooth, easy visual transition between distances.

Can sunglasses be varifocal?

Sunglasses offer protection from the sun's strong rays, and provide visual comfort in all circumstances.
However, to achieve perfect visual comfort, people with ametropia need their sunglasses to be corrective too.
Indeed, you can ask your optician to adapt your sunglasses to your vision.
The fact is, it is perfectly possible to ask for a pair of varifocal sunglasses.
Sunglasses lenses can indeed be fitted with several corrective foci, just like progressive lenses for prescription glasses.
The correction provided by these sunglasses in no way detracts from their effectiveness against UV rays.
Sunglasses with varifocal lenses are therefore the ideal pair for sun protection combined with clear vision both near and far.
Feel free to ask your Optical Center optician for more information about varifocal sunglasses.
