Varifocal Ordering Guide
Ordering varifocals online is slightly different from ordering single vision lenses, as the measurements need to be more precise to ensure comfortable vision.
That is why we ask you to choose your frame first, try it on, and then use the EyeMeasure app to help us position your varifocal lenses correctly.
At Burghley & Co, we exclusively use HOYA varifocal lenses, chosen for their clarity, precision and advanced optical design, so each pair feels more natural and comfortable in everyday wear.
Select the frame you would like and place your order for the frame only.
If you already have your prescription, we recommend sending it at the time of ordering so we can confirm your chosen frame is suitable for varifocals.
Once your frame arrives, try it on and use the EyeMeasure app to take the measurements needed for your varifocals.
You will then send the measurements to us and return the frame, so we can glaze your lenses accurately.
This extra step helps ensure your varifocals are positioned correctly for your eyes and your chosen frame.
Once you have downloaded the app, simply hold your phone directly in front of your face, about a foot away. The app will automatically begin to scan your PD and guide you through the process.
You will then be advised that your results are ready to be viewed, including your near PD, distance PD, and fitting height.
Please send screenshots or photos of you wearing the frame with the measurements visible so we can position your varifocal lenses as accurately as possible.

You can also choose additional options such as light-reactive lenses or thinner lenses, depending on your prescription and preferences.
Once we have your measurements, we will advise on the most suitable lenses for your prescription and lifestyle, confirm your lens choice with you, and issue a separate invoice for your varifocals.
We review your prescription, frame choice, and fitting measurements first so we can recommend the most suitable varifocal lenses before you pay. This helps avoid paying for lenses that may not be the right option for your final pair.
It can take a few days to adjust to varifocal lenses, as your eyes learn to move naturally between different viewing zones. Most people adapt quickly, and we are here to guide you if needed.
Once we have received your measurements and frame back, we will fit your varifocal lenses and return your completed glasses to you.
Total turnaround: approximately 7–10 working days.
