Varilux® has access to the latest technologies for analyzing wearer behaviour
The Total Comfort System guarantees a lens that
is suited to modern use
As all Varilux progressive lenses, Varilux Comfort® New Edition stems from the Live
Optics scientific approach. Varilux® has developed the Total Comfort System,
an initiative that has enabled the company to produce a lens that meets the requirements
of users working in today's environments. Varilux® uses the very latest technologies
in its laboratories to precisely measure the behaviour of presbyopic wearers over
long periods of time. A whole range of ways and means help in optimizing the lens's
properties, from precisely observing wearer behaviour to carrying out tests under
real-life conditions.

Miniaturization has
its drawbacks
Objects integral to day-to-day life like
telephones, sat-nav systems, cameras
and MP3 players are getting smaller,
so users are forced to change the way
they handle them. In order to see what
is displayed on increasingly tiny screens,
they have a tendency to move the unit
closer to their eyes.
This makes it all the more important
to ensure that intermediate - and
near-vision zones are correctly located
on the lens to accommodate the ways
in which people's posture is changing.

Screens everywhere
Screen use puts a great deal of strain
on people's eyes, particularly when they
read from them. Pixelated characters
have less contrast and are thus much
harder to read than those on a printed
page.
As the number of electronic tools in
every-day life increases – from PCs
to smart phones, electronic books
and more – the near-vision zone's
acuity, breadth and accuracy become
ever more critical.

Broader fields
Thanks to tremendous progress in calculation technologies developed
by Essilor®, Varilux Comfort® New Edition lenses now have excellent
aspherization levels. The result is an almost 25% increase in the width
of both distance and near vision fields.
