When your presbyopic patients select a small frame, Varilux Ellipse is the ideal solution.”   DESIGN VARILUX ELLIPSE IS A PROGRESSIVE LENS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO MEET THE VISUAL NEEDS OF THE SMALL FRAME WEARER.  "Varilux Ellipse is based on a unique physiological approach, designed to respond to the very specific visual needs of presbyopes who wear small frames. Varilux Ellipse = natural vision in small package." THE WIDEST FULL SCALE DISTANCE VISION 140°      “Ellipse integrates the widest full-scale 140° distance vision adapted to small frame proportions, and does so without sacrificing visual acuity. It also features the widest far vision angle for the shortest progression angle.” SMALL FRAME AFFECTS WEARER'S NATURAL VISUAL BEHAVIOUR     Most small frames wearers rotate their heads 40°, while large frame wearers rotate only 25°. However, most small frame wearers only rotate their eyes 20°, compared to 35° for large frame wearers.   VARILUX ELLIPSE REACHES 85% OF THE ADD POWER AT 9.5MM Once the beginning of near vision is reached, the wearer still benefits from 10° angle of perfect near vision - even with fitting as low as 14mm. BENEFITS VARILUX ELLIPSE DELIVERS TRUE PROGRESSIVE PERFORMANCE FOR TODAY’S SHORT FRAMES With a fitting height as low as 14 mm, Varilux Ellipse brings unmatched Varilux performance to even the smallest frames A completely natural eye movement to reach near vision quickly and easily Easy to fit due to a wider area for comfortable, natural vision High satisfaction rate thanks to a design that adapts to viewing behavior and maximizes the small frame wearer’s visual space  AVAILABILITY CHART Click here for chart FITTING GUIDE Step 1—ADJUSTING THE FRAME Make sure the frame is properly adjusted on the patient before taking any measurements Set the vertex distance between 12 and 14 mm Set the pantoscopic tilt angle between 8 and 12 degrees Frame should have positive facial wrap Step 2—TAKE THE PATIENT’S INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (PD) Exact alignment of the Varilux lens, beginning with an accurate PD, is a must for far and near vision To ensure maximum accuracy, use a Corneal Reflect Pupillometer, which enables you to obtain both binocular and monocular PD in a single procedure Use one measurement to verify the other: The monocular PD, when added together, must equal the binocular PD. If not, new measurements should be taken Step 3—TAKE FITTING HEIGHT MEASUREMENT Accurate vertical positioning is important. In an adjusted frame, a lens positioned too high or too low may limit the field of vision as the eye moves through the different areas To deliver uninterrupted flow of changing power and to ensure comfortable near vision, follow the recommended minimum fitting height. If the selected frame does not accommodate this height, edging may remove a valuable portion of the usable reading area Take a monocular height measurement by marking each lens at center pupil using a felt-tip pen. Draw a horizontal line on each lens and verify that the lines are crossing the center of each pupil If the measurement was taken at the dispensing table, ask the patient to stand and fixate on an object in the distance. Observe the positioning of the horizontal line to be sure it intersects the pupil Check the fitting height by measuring from the deepest point of the lens to the pupil center Be sure to be at the same level as the patient to avoid parallax error   Step 4—CHECK LENS CUTOUT   With its progressive changes and soft periphery, Varilux lenses are designed to fit most frames, including today’s popular smaller styles. Of course, it’s still important to double check fit Mark the patient's fitting height and PD on the sample lens, creating a cross Place the lens cross over layout chart cross to verify that the lens will cut out. If it doesn’t fit, choose another, more suitable frame An important reminder: To provide comfortable near-vision, it’s neither necessary nor recommended to increase the add powering of a Varilux PAL
