Why Jo Whiley loves varifocals

See more clearly, be your best

Varifocals have two prescriptions in each lens. Which means they’re a convenient option for everyday life, whether it’s for driving, reading or DJing, like Jo. As well as the convenience of varifocals, Jo loves the different options available and how they can match different outfits and occasions.

With varifocal glasses available from just £75, you can see more clearly and be your best. Here’s what Jo really thinks about varifocals…

How do varifocals allow you to be your best?

‘This year, we are finally living our best life! I feel really lucky to be back doing what I love, DJing and sharing brilliant music with so many people at festivals and gigs. When I am wearing varifocals whilst DJing, I can browse my track lists, sound bars, remove my headphones and look out to see the crowd with just one pair of glasses, everyone connected and enjoying my music.

Nothing beats seeing the happy faces of a dancing crowd. Varifocals allow me to be my best when I see those happy faces.’

How have varifocals made your life easier?

‘Well, for starters I’m not constantly trying to find multiple pairs of glasses, whether I am DJing or out and about with my family and friends.

As varifocals combine two prescriptions in one lens, I can wear one pair to see any distance with no middle line. No matter what the occasion, it’s just less effort and less stress, giving me more time to think and do more of the things I love, rather than waste time thinking about the unnecessary.’

Tell us about your varifocals style picks

‘I wanted to pick a selection of glasses that had a different look and feel about them that would work with my prescription. I hope that these style favourites really show people how easy it is to get used to varifocals and that wearing them can be super stylish, whatever you are doing.

I hope I can help to remove any misconceptions that varifocals are bulky or thick framed. In fact, they are quite the opposite, and can be a fashion accessory that allow you to see more clearly and be your best.’

Jo’s varifocal picks

How does this campaign resonate with you?

‘Varifocals have changed my life. They let me see more clearly and live my life with less stress and more freedom to be my best. I used to think certain styles didn’t work with varifocals. I now know this isn’t true and would love to help others see that they can be sleek, stylish and convenient.’
