The proportion of seniors is expected to increase considerably by 2030, due to longer life expectancy and scientific innovations. This will lead to a significant increase in the number of people suffering from presbyopia worldwide. Presbyopia is a vision disorder that appears between 45 and 50 years of age and causes blurred close-up vision, known as the "short arm syndrome".

An aging global population

Today, most of the world lives in an environment where scientific and technological innovations are constantly evolving. Such results make it easier to treat and prevent diseases, improve people's daily lives and thus increase their life expectancy.

However, from the age of 45, human beings have to deal with a natural phenomenon: presbyopia! A visual disorder that prevents clear close-up vision. Don't worry, it can be corrected very easily by wearing quality equipment: reading glasses for presbyopia. These reading glasses are equipped with classic magnifying lenses, proximity lenses or progressive lenses.

An auxiliary device for all presbyopes: Varionet proximity lenses

The lens we offer on Varionet.com allows presbyopes of all ages to regain clear vision at several distances (unlike conventional magnifying lenses). It's ideal for working in front of a computer, but also for DIY, gardening, etc., as this lens offers a pleasant depth of field.

The importance of regular equipment renewal

Mid-distance glasses help you every day and all day long, which is why they are often on you (in your shirt, pocket, handbag/satchel, etc.). If you don't keep them carefully in their case, scratches can occur and thus damage your glasses and your sight. Likewise, your prescription evolves with age, so it's important to renew your equipment at least once every two years.
