Varilux progressive lenses by Essilor deliver smooth, sharp vision from near to far without the visible lines of traditional bifocals. Available in advanced product families like Varilux XR series, X series, and Comfort Max, they support today’s most demanding visual lifestyles — and they’re fit and customized at Konstantin’s NYC optical lab.
As Essilor’s flagship progressive lens, Varilux is designed for clear and natural vision at every distance — far, intermediate, and near. The product family includes Varilux XR series (with Xtend™ technology and behavioral AI), Varilux X series (the original Xtend™ design), Varilux Comfort Max (optimized for active wearers), and Varilux Physio (for advanced light filtering). Each design draws on Essilor’s pioneering W.A.V.E. Technology 2™ to reduce distortion, expand the field of view, and minimize the head-and-eye adjustments earlier progressives required.
Essilor invented the first progressive lens in 1959, and the Varilux brand has led the category ever since with continual breakthroughs. The latest XR series uses Xtend™ Range technology to give wearers a sharp view of multiple near targets — a phone, a screen, a book — without head movement. Behavioral and posture data from thousands of wearers informs the lens’s dynamic design, so each pair adapts to natural eye-movement patterns. At Konstantin in NYC, as an authorized Varilux retailer, we offer the full Varilux range, paired with precise digital measurements and custom edging in our optical lab.
Essilor offers multiple personalization options across the Varilux range, including Varilux Eyezen for digitally focused younger wearers, Varilux Liberty for a balanced everyday progressive, and Varilux Physio W3+ for premium high-definition vision. With Xtend™ technology, wearers can read at multiple near distances without searching for a sweet spot. Layer on Crizal anti-reflective and UV-protective coatings, and you get a complete progressive solution tailored to your prescription, lifestyle, and frame choice at Konstantin in NYC.
Beyond the base lens design, Varilux can be personalized further with Visioffice 2™ digital measurements, custom-balanced corridors for left and right eyes, and Eyecode™ rotation-of-eye measurements that account for natural posture and reading angles. The result is a tailor-made progressive that aligns more accurately with your visual habits than off-the-shelf options. Konstantin’s opticians take all relevant digital measurements at our NYC location to ensure the lens matches your prescription, frame, and posture exactly.
The Varilux portfolio is built around several lens families designed to address specific visual needs: Varilux XR series for the most advanced wearers, Varilux X series for distortion-free near-to-far range, Varilux Comfort Max for fast adaptation, and Varilux Physio for precise high-definition correction. Each product family is available through Konstantin in NYC, supported by our team’s lens consulting and same-day in-house edging.
Fitting Varilux lenses at Konstantin involves more than just a prescription. We perform individualized fitting heights, pupil-distance measurements, and frame-position calibrations to ensure your progressive corridor is mapped correctly to your visual axis. Whether you’re upgrading from single-vision glasses or replacing older progressives, our NYC team helps you choose the right Varilux family, coatings, and frame combination to maximize comfort and clarity.
