Essilor brings to the table both its Varilux X Series and Eye Protect System for 2018 . A Silmo d ’ Or winner in October 2017 , the Varilux X series progressive lenses remain the leading innovation in their field and were developed to meet the needs of all presbyopes who are active in their personal and professional lives , and avid users of digital tools .
“ Thanks to the Xtend technology design innovation , Varilux X series lenses no longer require wearers to move their head to find the right viewing angle ,” says Kristel Bordeleau-Tassile , marketing manager for Varilux .
The combination of the technology with a new calculation system enables Essilor to design lenses with greater precision in order to meet the need to see clearly at multiple distances on the same axis of vision , especially within arm ’ s reach , where the majority of daily activities take place .
Meanwhile Essilor ' s Eye Protect System includes product combinations guaranteed to block at least 20 % of harmful blue light , whether the lenses are clear or adaptive , and to offer a minimum UV protection of E-SPF 25 with its Crizal technology .
“ Our exposure to harmful blue-light keeps increasing because of our lifestyle ,” says Nathalie Boisvert , product marketing manager . “ That ’ s why , inspired by its mission to improve lives by improving sight , Essilor created Eye Protect System . It provides the optimal visual solution for the short and longterm eye health of consumers .”
Essilor ' s goal is to provide consumers with a global solution to protect their eyes against both harmful UV and blue light .
For 2018 Plastic Plus says it ' s proud to showcase Vandelay Camber as a new family of lenses calculated by Camber Technology , combining complex curves on both surfaces of the lens to provide excellent vision correction . The unique continueously changing surface curvature of the specifically designed lens blank allows expanded reading zones with improved peripheral vision .
“ This lens is beneficial for ' plus ' patients and it offers a dual-sided technology ,” says Plastic Plus president Paul Faibish . “ On the backside we process a digital design and the front side Camber has a variable base curve .” Faibish says this means a perfect base curve for each visual zone .
“ This unique technology results in better vision , thinner lenses , expanded visual fields and superior optics ,” he says .
The lens allows for better vision because the exclusive front surface matches perfectly with the back digital design and is 100 % customizable . This also allows for great visual acuity in near vision for better comfort .
The full family of Camber lenses allows Plastic Plus the ability to create a customized portfolio for eyecare providers to differentiate from others while adapting to their market needs .
“ Plastic Plus leads the industry in offering lens technology from multiple manufacturers ,” says Faibish . “ We also proudly manufacture all our lenses in Canada in our state of the art facility and send no work offshore .”
In the 21st century , Centennial ’ s lens business has evolved over 50 years with the introduction of new free-form digital technology so that , while semifinished lenses remain an important part of their product , a large proportion of these lenses are dedicated to producing digitally customized progressive and office lenses .
