Varifocal Sunglasses

What are varifocal sunglasses?

Varifocal sunglasses are varifocal (progressive) lenses glazed into a sunglass frame. The top of the lens gives you crisp distance vision for driving and the horizon, the middle zone covers the dashboard and your phone, and the bottom section magnifies reading and close-up tasks — all with a smooth, line-free transition between zones and full UV protection from the sun.

Seamless outdoor reading

If you already wear varifocals indoors, you'll notice the difference the moment you step outside: no squinting, no fumbling for a separate pair, no losing your reading correction when you need it most. From beach reads and garden lounging to long drives and country walks, varifocal sunglasses keep every distance in sharp focus while shielding your eyes from glare and harmful UV rays.

Tints, polarised and photochromic options

Your varifocal sunglasses are fully customisable to the way you use them outdoors.

• ✓Polarised lenses — eliminate glare from water, wet roads and snow for sharper, more comfortable vision — the top choice for driving and water sports.
• ✓Classic tints — choose grey, brown or green tints in a range of depths to suit the brightness of your lifestyle.
• ✓Photochromic (Transitions) — one pair that stays clear indoors and darkens automatically in sunlight, perfect if you'd rather not switch between glasses at all.

Who are varifocal sunglasses for?

• ✓Drivers who need clear distance vision plus readable instruments and sat-navs
• ✓Outdoor enthusiasts who read, use phones or navigate while out in the sun
• ✓Anyone who wants continuity between their day-to-day varifocals and their shades
