SUMMIT AGENDA AND KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
ESSILOR LAUNCHES EYEZEN
The time we spend on different digital
devices (smart phones, tablets, computers and TVs) has significantly
increased, thereby creating new needs.
Booming usage of smartphones, for
example, has generated new postures
as well as a new distance of vision.
Essilor R&D has taken into account
these new behaviours in the development
of a new single vision lens that we are
happy to introduce to you.
The Essilor Eyezen single vision lens
features two technologies:
- Technology EyezenTM Focus:
Distributes extra power specific to
each patient profile in the bottom
part of the lens.
- Light scan™ technology with Crizal
Prevencia: Filters the harmful and
disturbing blue-violet light to prevent
premature aging of the eye whilst
reducing screen glare.
Thanks to Essilor EyezenTM, relax
your patients’ eyes from their connected
lives today while protecting their visual
health for tomorrow.
Recommend Essilor EyezenTM, to
ametropes for permanent wear and to
occasionally assist emmetropes
suffering from visual symptoms associated with the use of digital devices
and activities requiring near vision
(eye strain, neck and shoulder pain,
etc.). www.eyezen.info
