These thin, ultra-light lenses are made of premium Polycarbonate with outstanding impact-resistance - making them extra durable and chip-resistant. Each Varilux® progressive lens offers 100% UV protection and comes with a premium scratch-resistant hard coat and pristinely polished lens edges.

Varilux lenses are designed with a patented W.A.V.E technology that identifies and eliminates distortion. This technology analyzes the individual prescription of each lens. It also examines the changes in pupil size as the eye focuses at different distances.

How do I know that I have genuine Varilux® lenses? Varilux® lenses come from the manufacturing laboratory with a Varilux® certificate of authenticity card. If you do not receive a certificate of authenticity card with your Varilux® lenses, please consult your eye care professional.

The average cost of Varilux is between $129 to more than $400 for the lens alone. A prescription may cost you about $60 to $125 without insurance. If you prefer coating to reduce glare and prevent harmful blue light, it may cost you an additional $50 and $100. You may also incur shipping fees if you purchase online.

Essilor starts with granules of polycarbonate, a transparent plastic, in bags that weigh nearly 4,000 pounds. While lenses used to be made from actual glass, now most are made from tougher plastic materials.
