The optometrist will check for eye-related conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma. Other conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes can also be detected.

As they combine two prescriptions in one lens, you do not have to carry two different pairs of glasses.

Varifocal lenses work by changing power from the top to the bottom of the lens. Moving your eyes up and down the lens will give you clear vision at all the distances you need.
