Natural visual experience for more accurate depth perception for walking, driving, and everyday activities.
What makes Nova Plus 3.0 varifocal lenses different from other varifocals?

At Banton Frameworks, Nova Plus 3.0 lenses are our advanced option from the Lite range — ideal for experienced progressive lens wearers who want better performance without the premium price tag of our Essilor branded lenses such as Varilux® XR or Varilux® Comfort Max.
Visio Digital vs Nova Plus 3.0 lenses
Vision Digital lenses are a value-focused design with smooth transitions and good 'visual corridor'. These economy lenses are ideal for varifocal newcomers who want an affordable entry to progressive lenses that they can use for everyday visual tasks.
Nova Plus 3.0 are our premium-tier digital progressive lenses. They offer a wider 'visual corridor', reduced peripheral distortion (at the edges) and a more natural visual experience by reducing the need for as much head moving/tilting.
Visio Digital Coatings
To enhance your Nova Plus 3.0 varifocal lenses, you can choose from a range of lens coatings to suit your lifestyle and visual needs. Each option offers added protection, clarity and comfort for everyday wear:
Anti-glare / Anti-scratch
Reduces distracting reflections and helps protect your lenses from scuffs and scratches — ideal for daily use.
Anti-glare / Anti-scratch / Blue Light / UV
All the benefits above, plus added defence against harmful blue light from screens and UV rays from sunlight — perfect if you spend a lot of time on digital devices or outdoors.
Transitions / Anti-glare / Anti-scratch
These lenses darken when exposed to sunlight and return to clear indoors, while also protecting against UV light, glare and scratches — great if you’re often moving between indoor and outdoor environments.
Transitions / Anti-glare / Anti-scratch / Blue Light / UV
The most comprehensive option — combining photochromic sun protection, blue light filtering, UV defence and everyday durability in one coating.
*Please note that Transitions lenses by default come with UV protection.
