From the age of 40 onward, the lens begins to lose its ability to focus on near objects, a condition known as presbyopia. Paola, one of the participants at the meeting described in the article, recounts that she ended up using three pairs of glasses: one for near vision, another for distance, and a pair of sunglasses, until she switched to multifocal lenses. She states that when the prescription is correct and the lenses are of good quality, wearing multifocals is a pleasure, as they allow her to read her phone, drive, and read a book with just one pair.
During the meeting, Renata presented equipment that analyzes eye position and other individual characteristics of each person. The Varilux XR Series lenses use artificial intelligence and visual behavior data to personalize the final result, making the process, according to Renata, an "industrial craft" production.
According to the article, Varilux lenses are individually sculpted, taking into account each person's prescription and measurements. Valéria agrees that glasses are something personal and absolutely customized, reinforcing that what is made for everyone does not fit the same way.
