Looking for cheap varifocal glasses can be quite a task especially if you need a particular type of branded varifocal lens. If you already have varifocal lenses fitted in your glasses then you will already know that they can carry a very heavy price tag. For most people, upgrading these lenses every year can prove to be too expensive and so the temptation to look around for a cheaper alternative becomes a more attractive option. The problem with this is that varifocal lenses differ quite a lot in optical quality from one type to another so you have to be careful when choosing a cheaper alternative. For instance, if you are already wearing a good quality varifocal such as a premium ‘Zeiss’ or ‘Essilor’ product then you would probably notice a drastic decline in your field of vision when downgrading to a low quality, non branded lens.
Most prescription lens experts recommend that when it comes to purchasing cheap varifocal glasses your first port of call should be a trusted online retailer. Some Opticians may argue that the risks are to great to even consider such an option but in reality the process can be fairly simple and almost risk free. This is because the measurements needed in order for the varifocals to work properly can be taken from your existing pair of varifocals or just by using a felt tip pen and a mirror. If you need to reglaze a pair of varifocal glasses into a frame that you already own then process is even easier and may require no measurements to be taken at all. Most Varifocal wearers these days tend to reglaze their existing frame as the cost can be extremely high to replace the frame and the lenses.
When looking online for cheap varifocal glasses you should ensure that whoever you end up deciding to purchase from, you buy the right kind of varifocals not only for your prescription but also your lifestyle. There is an abundance of cheap varifocal glasses being sold online at the moment which have very poor aberration values and narrow corridors which limit the amount of visual field you experience through the lens. There are also many online retailers who offer very cheap lenses at prices that are too good to be true and guess what?..they are! If you have been used to wearing premium varifocals from your local opticians then buying into the idea that a cheap unbranded pair will be suffice is a very bad move. Try and make sure that you can talk to someone from the online retailer you are looking to purchase from, they will be more than happy to advise you on which lenses would be suitable.
So you see buying cheap varifocal glasses online isn’t an easy task as there are many things to consider before you make your purchase. If you shop around and take some time out to research the kind of varifocals that are designed for someone with your prescription and lifestyle then I’m sure that you can end up not only saving quite a few quid but also end up with a pair of prescription glasses that will fulfill exactly what they are supposed to do.
