Essilor
Essilor is the largest ophthalmic lens manufacturer in the world and OPTIX recommends all of its world-famous and trusted brands. These include Airwear Polycarbonate, a thinner, lighter, scratch-resistant UV-blocking lens offering a blend of comfort, good looks and safety. Varilux branded lenses, the world’s first and best known progressive addition lenses / varifocals, use a winning multi-focal technology originally patented 50 years ago to enable presbyopes (the majority of the population over 40, requiring a different optical correction for distance vision to that for near) to benefit from dynamic vision of objects at all distances. The result…..clear comfortable primary vision at distance for driving, watching TV and similar, then a natural, clear transition to intermediate vision for VDU and desktop, then again a further transition to near vision for reading. This is all achieved with a minimum of peripheral distortion demonstrating not all varifocals are the same! Crizal anti-reflection coatings reduce the glare that causes eye fatigue and are perfect for long hours in front of a computer screen or artificial lighting conditions. Crizal coating dramatically reduces the reflections that stop other people seeing your eyes clearly and can be added to all Essilor plastics lenses. The very latest Crizal Forte with Scotchgard coating is possibly the most scratch resistant of all.
