The best varifocal lenses give you comfort, clarity, and convenience in every situation – from reading a book to driving at night. In this guide, we’ll explain what to look for when choosing varifocals online, and why Lensology’s Omni-Vision HD with ULTIMA is one of the best options available today.
What Makes a Great Varifocal Lens?
Not all varifocals are created equal. The difference between an entry-level lens and a top-tier design is huge – and it comes down to clarity, comfort, and technology.
Here are the key things to look for:
- Wide viewing zones – Premium varifocals give you more room in each section of the lens. A bigger intermediate zone makes computer work more natural, while a wider reading area means less “head tilting” when looking at a book or phone
- Reduced distortion – All varifocals have some peripheral distortion, but advanced lens designs minimise it, giving you a smoother and more natural field of vision
- Free-form technology – Modern varifocals are digitally surfaced with precision, tailoring the optics across millions of data points for sharper, more natural sight
- Comfortable transitions – A good varifocal should feel natural, without sudden “jumps” between zones
- Lens coatings – Features like anti-glare, scratch resistance, and easy-clean coatings make a big difference to everyday comfort and durability.
When you’re investing in new lenses, these differences are what separate a pair of glasses you simply put up with, from ones you truly enjoy wearing every day.
Buying Varifocals Online – What To Look Out For
Ordering varifocals online is convenient and cost-effective, but it’s worth knowing what separates a reliable provider from one that cuts corners:
- Clarity on lens types – Does the website explain the difference between standard, premium, and advanced varifocals?
- Prescription range – Many high-street brands only glaze up to +/-6. At Lensology, we can handle almost any prescription – even complex or uncommon ones
- Accurate fitting – Correct measurements are essential. Even the best lenses will feel wrong if they’re not glazed properly. Lensology’s expert glazing team ensures lenses are positioned with absolute precision
- Expert advice – Can you speak to a real human if you’re unsure? With Lensology, you can call our friendly experts for free advice – or even place your order over the phone if it’s easier
- Transparent pricing – Are coatings and upgrades included, or are they costly extras?

How Does Omni-Vision HD Compare to Big Brands?
The world’s leading lens brands – Zeiss, Essilor (Varilux), Hoya, Rodenstock, Seiko – all offer premium varifocals with advanced technology. These lenses are excellent, but they also come with premium price tags, often £600-£700 for top-tier designs.
The Omni-Vision HD is designed to rival these lenses, using the same free-form technology and offering the same wide fields of view, smooth transitions, and advanced coatings – but at a fraction of the price.
In short: with Lensology, you’re getting the same level of performance as the “big names”, but without paying for their heavy marketing budgets.
