In my practice, I heavily rely on Varilux ® lenses. How do I ensure my patients are being optimally fit?Īfter many years of private practice ownership, including fitting, dispensing, and prescribing progressive lenses to my patients, I have acquired the knowledge to answer many of these common concerns.How do I explain to patients how different designs work?.What lens options should I be prescribing?.
Why do some patients report difficulties at certain working distances?.Why do some patients struggle to adapt to progressive lenses?.When I became a practice owner, knowledge of progressive lens options and technology was the first I sought to gain. However, one thing new graduates in particular are not taught much about, is the science behind progressive lenses and understanding different lens designs.īy understanding lens designs, we can better recommend specific lens types to meet and exceed patient demands. We were all taught how they work, and we all became experts at drawing the hourglass shape and explaining the different zones. If you are like I was as a new graduate optometrist, progressive lenses were a foreign concept.
