Uses Steady Methodology and Digital Ray Path 2®
Near focused (N)
- Focused design enhances the weares ability to spend extended periods of time on close tasks. Ideal for those who enjoy reading or use computers extensively, but still giving comfort and clarity in all areas.
Central Workplace (I)
- Central design is focused around creating a seamless transition through the lenses, giving extra emphasis on the intermediate vision. Ideal for those focused on more indoor use, but not wanting to be restricted by office lenses.
Active Distance (D)
- Active design is based on the principle that just because you need a varifocal doesn’t mean you spend all day in an office or don’t enjoy active sports. The lens has a more dynamic distance zone, but can still be comfortably used for any distance when required.
