A majority of US optical professionals were found to be familiar with variable focus eyewear in a study commissioned by supplier Adlens.
The Oxford-based company ran a study that found 13 per cent of the practitioners dispensed variable focus eyewear, with 11 per cent of respondents Adlens stockists.
The study, conducted by Jobson Optical Research, quizzed 292 respondents.
It found that 83 per cent of those questioned recognised variable focus eyewear was 'beneficial or very beneficial' for their patients, while 74 per cent of them said it benefited their practice.
Christine Fraser, Adlens director of customer success, said: 'We are delighted to see these results. It shows that we are on the right path, not only to increase customer satisfaction through engagement and enhancing the customer experience, bringing more traffic to the practice, but also growing the businesses and profits of our customers.'
