Essilor - The power behind the company | Exciting new tech to help you see the world better
Essilor is a name you might have heard before - you have probably seen a few ads on their Crizal coating or Transitions products. But did you know they are the largest lens manufacturers in the optical industry? Because of this, Essilor has a leading research and development team finding new and improved technology to better aid in our ever changing environments. Whether you are working on a computer, playing golf, or creating art, there is a lens for you.
Our workplace today is constantly evolving. More of us are working remotely, taking meetings over Zoom, and spending more and more time in front of a screen. This has an effect on our entire body; from neck and back pain, to bad posture. Our eyes feel these effects as well, focusing on a single distance for any length of time can cause eyestrain, fatigue and headaches. Essilor has designed a lens called Eyezen to specifically tackle these issues. This is a single vision lens constructed to prevent the overexertion of certain muscles that help your eyes focus. Paired with Essilor Prevencia coating to block out blue light, this lens makes working on your tablet, computer, or mobile device a breeze.
During the natural process of aging, our eyes are affected in a number of ways. Generally after the age of 40, parts of our eyes begin to lose elasticity, causing blurriness in our near vision, a harder time focusing, eyestrain and fatigue. Progressive lenses are designed to combat these effects. With state of the art technology, Essilor has designed the Varilux series with 5 different progressive lenses to choose from:
Varilux X Series
Essilor’s Premium+ progressive lens, giving crystal clear vision throughout. Powered by their XtendTM technology which gives wearers the largest amount of depth in their near vision. With this, wearers are able to focus on various points without needing to tilt or angle your head.
Varilux Physio 3.0
Their Premium progressive lens that has been around for quite some time. Now in its third iteration, it has a large near vision area, and smooth transitions from distance to near vision, embedded with all new W.A.V.E. TechnologyTM, allowing wearers to see clearer and shaper in low light environments.
Varilux Comfort Max and Varilux Freedom 3.0
Their standard lenses. These lenses are great for wearers who are primarily focused on further distances and with smaller amounts of near work.
Varilux Digitime
Their task specific lenses. Designed to keep your eyes relaxed and make screen time more comfortable. You are able to keep a more natural head position due to the larger visual fields.
Essilor’s lenses have the ability to be customized with various add ons like Xperio Polarized or Tinted lenses. You have a wide range of options in lens colour choices, gradients and mirror coatings. Pair these with Crizal Sun UV to maximize UV protection with an E-SPF 50+ index.
So what’s the science that makes these lenses so great? With one of the largest research and development teams, and professionals from all across the globe, Essilor has developed state of the art technology that is embedded in each of their lenses.
W.A.V.E. Technology ™ : Eliminates blurriness in areas that occur in standard progressive lenses, while allowing sharp vision at every distance, even in low light settings.
XTEND ™ Technology: Extends your vision, allowing you to see multiple distances in a single direction without needing to adjust your head.
NANOPTIX ™ : This gets rid of the swim effect in progressive lenses and widens your viewing corridor by reducing peripheral blur.
SYNCHRONEYES ™ : Providing sharper vision throughout the lens for crystal clear vision from top to bottom and left to right, helping the eyes work better together.
4D TECHNOLOGY ™ : By taking custom and personalized measurements of the leading dominant eye, this technology helps you see more rapidly from one point to another.
