Varilux® Immersia™

Near Vision Is Hard Work for Our Eyes

Presbyopes today lead very active lives, often involving extensive use of digital screens for both work and leisure.

• 72% of their time is spent in near and intermediate vision.

Keeping up with this can lead to discomfort:

• 80% of people aged 40-65 suffer from visual fatigue at the end of a typical day,
• 71% of people aged 40-65 need to make an effort to maintain sharpness.

Varilux Immersia™: The New Occupational Lenses to Stay Comfortably Immersed in Your Immediate Surroundings.

Developed to support prolonged close focus, using in-depth analysis of screen positions, considering the patient's natural posture and ergonomic needs.

Tested in a simulated environment using Al-powered digital twinning technology, which enables a wide range of R&D simulations to assess and guarantee lens performance.

A New Design Defined by Three Reference Points, Corresponding to the Most-Used Viewing Distances in Our Immediate Surroundings

• Smartphone distance - the near vision zone
• Working distance - the area directly in front of the patient
• Conversational distance - the maximum reliable distance for in-person interaction

This provides expanded vision in close-up and digital activities and helps alleviate digital eye strain.

Smartphone distance
When using smartphones, patients have a gaze angle of around 25.6° on average, suggesting a preference to lower the head rather than lowering the eyes. By placing the near vision zone higher in the lens, Varilux Immersia™ provides easier access to near vision, which enables natural head posture in front of screens.

• From +38% (Varilux Immersia™ room) to +54% (Varilux Immersia™ mid) expanded range of head postures with good visual acuity vs. standard progressive lenses.
  

Working distance
Varilux Immersia™™™ lenses are ergonomically designed for computer life. When looking straight ahead, the patient can view their desktop screen or work area with minimal adjustment of the head and eyes.

With standard progressive lenses, patients elevate their head by -8°. With Varilux® Immersia™ the head tilt is much closer to the ergonomic recommendation of 0°: -1° or -2°, according to product version.

Occupational Lenses Are the Ideal Solution for Expanded Near-Vision Tasks in Both Work and Leisure.

• Varilux Immersia™ occupational lenses offer the specialized support you need.
• Just as you benefit from changing your footwear between everyday walking and hiking, you can benefit from switching between progressive lenses and occupational lenses. Varilux® progressive lenses are ideal for all-day, on-the-go use, while Varilux® Immersia™ lenses are designed to support prolonged close focus and optimized for multitasking at near ranges.

Varilux Immersia™ lenses offer a comprehensive near-range solution. They go beyond the limitations of near single vision options by providing multiple distances at near and intermediate ranges.
