Multifocal/Varilux/Progressive Lens Pricing Explained

Crazy to think of it but it’s the best way to explain.

Motor Vehicle or just a car…. If you ask a motor salesman/lady I want a car!!

The response going to be….what type of car and what do you want to achieve with the car?

Then price will be a consideration, related to your expectations.

Yes I can drive with a small vehicle to Cape Town, without luxury, comfort, but end the destination dead tired.

By paying a bit more, a sedan vehicle would be definitely comfortable, but with an SUV I would

be much better off, even going off-road, relax and be safe and comfortable!!! And definitely

cheaper as a Jaguar, top-end BMW or Ferrari.

Optical lenses work exactly the same by way of explanation, cheap multifocal lenses are around

but don’t expect reading comfort, and no eyestrain, that is where you Professional Eyecare

practitioners need to guide and inform you what is prescribing, and out of a good case

the history he/she will know your expectations.
