Safety eyewear

Until now, safety eyewear users who require varifocal lenses have typically only been provided with a choice of standard designs. This can present adaptation problems if the user usually wears a different lens category in their everyday glasses.

In response Specsavers Corporate Eyecare has launched a range of varifocal lenses for use in its safety eyewear. Customers can upgrade from Standard varifocal lenses to options from the Premium, Elite or Tailor Made categories.

Varifocal lenses combine three different prescriptions in one clear lens. This allows the wearer to see clearly at all distances, without having to remove or change glasses. The ability to see clearly at all distances and refocus quickly over near, middle and far range, is vital to anyone working in a hazardous environment, Specsavers says. Stand 50
