Varilux XR Series

Having studied over 6,500 consumers to enrich their understanding of presbyopes’ lifestyles and visual challenges, the Group gathered over one million data to develop a breakthrough behavioural modelling system that predicts how presbyope individuals will look at objects around them.

Varilux XR series wearers benefit from instant sharpness, even in motion, with up 49% more vision volume** compared with the Varilux X series.

In independent third-party tests, 87% of consumers, mostly wearing premium progressive lens, preferred Varilux XR series to their previous lenses after trying them, with no change in their prescription.***

And 95% of wearers adapted to their new lenses on the first day. The Varilux XR series is an eco-designed progressive lens. With a new semi-finished lens, new in-lab processes, and a sustainable delivery kit for consumers, plastic consumption will be reduced by 19% compared with the Varilux X series, leading to a decrease of 6% in CO2 emissions.

declared by users (quantitative consumer study, Ipsos Q1 2022, BR/FR/IT/UK/US. n=4000 progressive lens wearers). Simulations done on most relevant global competitive brands: brands with good level of awareness among consumers (Consumer Lens Brand Tracking – Ipsos – Q3 2022 – BR/CA/CN/FR/IN/IT/UK/US – n=8000) & offering premium progressive lenses.
