At Dr. Funnell Optometry, we offer premium lens options for patients who want more than standard vision correction. The right lenses can improve comfort, sharpen vision at multiple distances, and make everyday tasks like driving, reading, and computer work easier. Our optometrists help patients in Ventura choose lens designs based on prescription, daily routine, and visual demands.

Premium Progressive Lens Designs

Premium progressive lenses are designed to provide clear vision at distance, intermediate, and near in one pair of glasses. Compared with basic progressives, premium digital designs are made to deliver smoother transitions, wider usable viewing areas, and a more comfortable visual experience.
​​​​​​​

Varilux XR is one of the most advanced progressive lenses available today. It is designed to provide quick focus, stable vision, and a more natural visual experience during daily movement, making it a great choice for patients who want a modern progressive with smooth, comfortable performance.

Varilux XR

Varilux XR is ideal for patients who want a premium progressive that feels smooth and natural throughout the day. Built with advanced digital lens technology, it is designed to support faster, more precise focusing as the eyes shift between far, intermediate, and near vision. Its design helps create a more seamless progression between viewing zones, which can reduce the sense of abrupt changes in focus that some wearers notice with other progressive lenses. It can be especially helpful for people with active lifestyles who need reliable vision while walking, working, and changing focus often. Varilux XR is considered one of the most advanced overall progressive lens options available.

Varilux Physio Extensee

Varilux Physio Extensee is another premium progressive, but it takes a different approach. Rather than emphasizing a softer blend, this design focuses on maximum sharpness, contrast, and visual intensity. The lens technology is designed to account for pupil size variations, which can help support clearer vision across different lighting conditions.

It also prioritizes precise definition through each viewing zone, giving wearers a crisp visual experience for distance, intermediate, and near tasks. This makes it a strong option for patients who value sharp detail, clean transitions, and a more structured progressive design. For patients who prefer a more traditional progressive feel with very crisp vision, Varilux Physio Extensee can be an excellent choice.

Varilux Comfort Digital Progressive Lenses

Varilux Comfort Digital progressive lenses - often labeled as DRx or Comfort Max - combine digital lens technology with a more accessible price point. They are designed using advanced surfacing methods that help create smoother transitions between distance, intermediate, and near vision, giving wearers a more natural experience throughout the day. Compared with standard progressive lenses, they typically offer better visual balance and more consistent performance across everyday tasks.

A key feature of this lens design is its focus on wearer comfort and ease of adaptation. The digital design helps improve how the prescription is distributed across the lens, which can support a wider, more usable field of view and reduce the visual disruption some patients notice when first trying progressive lenses. These lenses are a strong option for patients who want dependable everyday performance, comfortable near-to-far transitions, and better lens technology than a basic progressive without moving into the highest premium tier.

Immersia Computer Progressive Lenses

Patients who spend hours at a computer often need something different from an all-day progressive. Varilux Immersia lenses are designed for prolonged near and intermediate tasks, helping support a more comfortable posture and better visual access in workspaces. These lenses are made for close-focus activities, with options suited for smaller workspaces as well as larger room settings. Immersia Mid supports vision up to about 5 feet, while Immersia Room extends that range up to 10 feet.
