Infinity Plus 2 is Waterside's top-selling lens and a great, all round varifocal.  Although this is the entry level Infinity varifocal, it is a time-proven design, manufactured utilising the same modern production techniques as the other Infinity lenses. Adaptation time can be a little longer, but the visual performance far outweighs its modest price tag.

Watersides entry level varifocal, that doesn't perform like a budget lens.  Digitally manufactured, Smart FF delivers a balanced visual performance through all viewing zones.  Smart FF is a versatile design that can be fitted into most frame shapes and sizes. (Not UK manufactured)

When you have a visual problem, where better to find a solution than in nature itself.  VFX lenses incorporate an invisible mesh filter that arranges the light in a more uniform fashion, which for some people give relief from visual stress.  Examples of this are migraine sufferers and people with early cataracts.  VFX lenses can also make night driving easier and more relaxing.

Infinity ESV (Enhanced Single Vision)  is an easy to adpt to lens, for patients spending long periods working closely with computers/digital devices and reading.  It's digital design and manufacture can be a key factor in reducing eye strain and resultant headaches. Infinity ESV, is the lens of choice for people in their early to mid 40's, not quite ready for a varifocal.

Infinity Office is a lens for people who spend time working at shorter distances.  It is specifically designed and digitally manufactured to provide a substantially larger computer and near viewing zone, than varifocals.  The lens is custom made to your preferred working distance, from 1m - 4m away, so there's a solution available for any occupation.

Waterside's entry level office/occupational lens solution, for those that want a good performing lens for less financial outlay.  Digitally manufactured, Smart Office delivers a balanced visual performance from the computer area through to the boost at close range to make reading more comfortable.
