![]() ![]() The reading-or near zone, has a similar wearing experience as the intermediate. This can still be fixed with adjustment of fit to a great degree, but it is something to consider if the frame you choose has your eyes very close to the top of the lens and it’s oversized. Those with a longer corridor, or a stronger add (over +2.25) seem to find their intermediate zone a little lower. I have noted that patient experiences have varied a bit on the quality of this zone, based upon how tall their lens is (how much distance from their pupil to the bottom of the frame). Still enough quality width, clarity, and depth to highly recommend if this distance is critical for you. So, if you need to see something closer than you’d expect at that height, it needs to be in the center of the zone, and not out of the corner of the eye. The depth in the corners of this zone is not quite as good as the center. Both the width of this zone, as well as the depth of field is very good. The zone of the lens dedicated to arms length (think your computer monitor, or dashboard in your car) is excellent. This has led me to rethink my initial glowing review of the X series. Note the black dots on lenses to note corridor position Rather than holding my eyes straight ahead and move my neck to align my vision, I tend to look out of the corner of my eye and expect to see sharply. However, I am also exceptionally picky about my distance vision and I am a dominant eye-turner. All of my work with patients, on computers, and phone/reading. The vast majority of my visual lifestyle takes place in the intermediate and near zones. But I remarked my lenses and took note of placement…even making small adjustments to how they sat on my face…and I could not increase the width of my distance vision. I suspected that my pupils might be sitting on the edge of the intermediate zone and that was why I was having issues. My initial thought when I noticed the smaller distance zone, was that perhaps my glasses weren’t properly aligned. While it’s not so small I would call it problematic, I think it’s important to note that if your needs are exceptional crispness and width of field in the distance, you may want to pause before going with the Varilux X series. The width of the distance zone is noticeably smaller. I believe I have found how they improved the intermediate and near so much. After wearing continuously for over two months, I still find this to be true, but I do wish to get a little more detailed on the experience. My experience of the near and intermediate zones was phenomenal. Review of Varilux X Design…ContinuedĪs you may recall, my initial review of the latest progressive lens from Varilux, the X Design, was glowing. After wearing the lenses for a couple of months, I wanted to provide an update based on my continued observations. I posted an initial review of the latest progressive lens from Varilux, the X Design, when it first launched back in late August/early September. ![]()
