FAQs
HOW DO I KNOW THAT I HAVE GENUINE VARILUX LENSES?
Varilux lenses are supplied from the manufacturing laboratory with a Varilux lenses Certificate of Authenticity (COA) card. If you do not receive a COA card with your Varilux lenses, please consult a Designer Eyes eyecare professional.
WHICH VARILUX LENSES ARE RIGHT FOR ME?
Each patient's prescription and lens needs should be evaluated in person with a ShadesDaddy customer representative for appropriate lens recommendations and fittings to be made.
WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON MY VARILUX LENSES?
It is important to understand warranties available to you from a ShadesDaddy customer representative. Before you purchase your lenses, be sure to ask us the specifics of warranty coverage.
WILL I BE LIMITED IN MY FRAME SELECTION?
No, Varilux lenses can fit virtually any frame size and shape. A ShadesDaddy customer representative will assist you with selecting an appropriate frame for your prescription and fitting needs.
HOW CAN I OBTAIN MORE INFORMATION ABOUT VARILUX LENSES?
Our ShadesDaddy customer representatives are an excellent source of information about Varilux lenses and their specific applications to your individual prescription and lifestyle. If you have not done so within the last year, Essilor recommends having a comprehensive eye exam prior to ordering your new Varilux lenses.
ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL GUIDELINES FOR TAKING CARE OF VARILUX LENSES?
The best way to clean your lenses is by first rinsing them under warm running water to remove any sandy/gritty debris, clean with a mild liquid dishwashing soap to remove facial oils, rinse with water, and then dry with a soft cotton cloth. Finish by polishing your lenses with a microfiber cleaning cloth. You can also use a cleaning cloth for touch-up cleaning throughout the day when it is not convenient to wash the lenses. And while your lenses usually incorporate a scratch-resistant coating, you should always store them in a case as a precaution. Avoid exposing your lenses to excessive heat and temperatures for long periods (like on your car's dashboard, for instance).
MY VISION FEELS DIFFERENT WITH MY NEW VARILUX LENSES WHEN I LOOK TO THE SIDE. IS THIS A NORMAL PART OF THE ADAPTATION PERIOD?
Yes. Progressive lenses will introduce some changes to your peripheral vision due to power changes that occur in the periphery of the lenses. You may feel an initial difference in your peripheral vision that may require some slight changes in horizontal head and eye movements. Sensitivity to this area of the lens will diminish as you become more accustomed to the lenses. Varilux® X Series™ lenses with Xtend™ Technology significantly reduce this head movement and feature Nanoptix™ Technology, which further reduces distortion.
To adjust quickly and comfortably:
- Start wearing your new glasses immediately.
- Wear your new glasses continuously.
- Wear glasses as close to your face as possible.
- For most, this period of adaptation will only last a few hours. Some people may require several days or even two weeks before becoming completely comfortable. If you have been wearing your lenses for two weeks or longer and feel uncomfortable with your vision in any way, contact your eyecare professional for an evaluation.
ARE VARILUX LENSES AVAILABLE WITH NO-GLARE TREATMENT?
Yes, Crizal® No-Glare lens treatment is available on all Varilux lenses and is the best option for a No-Glare treatment for your Varilux lenses. Crizal No-Glare treatment reduces the glare that causes eye fatigue, helping you see, look, and feel better.

Yes, these options are available. Ask a ShadesDaddy customer representative for Crizal No-Glare lens treatment, which offers scratch resistance and UV protection. Crizal No-Glare treatment is available on all Varilux lenses.
WHAT ARE PROGRESSIVE LENSES AND HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM ORDINARY BIFOCALS?
Each patient's prescription and lens needs should be evaluated in person with a ShadesDaddy customer representative for appropriate lens recommendations and fittings to be made.
