What are varifocal glasses?
Once you discover these progressive glasses, there is no going back; varifocal is the advanced version of the bifocal glasses. And how is that?
Bifocal glasses have two refractive zones, that are near and far, whereas, when we move to the varifocal glasses, there are three refractive zones that are near, far, and intermediate, making it much more advanced in vision correction.
In bifocal glasses, there is a visible division between both the refractive zones, and that division creates a rough patch for eye movement. The varifocals completely eliminate this patch and smoothly move the eye without much discomfort.
But there are few banes associated with these glasses being, one might find difficulty while climbing a stair and walking on the footpath. How to tackle such situations?
Remedies
There are a few steps that you could adopt while using varifocal glasses:
You must wear your glasses from day to night, and should not skip in between.
While wearing your new glasses, you must not try to switch to your old glasses as this will not provide ample time for the brain and the eyes to adjust to the changes.
If you are a first-time user, you must not do sudden movements with the eyes while seeing, it is better to take it slow and tilt your head to that place. It automatically reduces uneasiness.
Last and the most important point, consistency is the key.
These are a few steps to be considered while using varifocals for the first time. After quite some time, you are unable to adjust with the glasses, it is better to consult a specialist and take the remedies as suggested.
