Essilor of America announced that it is offering extended material options for Essilor 360°, Essilor FIT, Essilor Azio and Essilor Eyecode Digital Single Vision lenses. In addition to previously offered material options, Essilor Digital Single Vision lenses are now available in TREXA Clear and Transitions SignatureVII, Airwear Polycarbonate Transitions Vantage and Airwear Polycarbonate Transitions XTRActive. With these additional material and light adaptive offerings, eyecare professionals can now satisfy a wider array of patients’ needs with Essilor 360° single vision digital lenses.
The Essilor 360° lens design gives patients superior vision–including more vivid colors and crisper details–providing wearers with better vision for any activity, now in a wider variety of materials, says Essilor. The company points out that Essilor 360° lenses are the only single vision lenses designed with Wavefront Advanced Vision Enhancement Technology, to virtually eliminate lens aberrations for sharper and clearer vision. With W.A.V.E. Technology, says Essilor, contrast sensitivity is increased by 30 percent over standard single-vision lenses, resulting in clearer vision, better perception of colors and details, and superior sharpness in low light.
“Today’s consumers demand the clearest, highest quality image in every aspect of their lives, from their HD TVs to their smartphone screens,” says Carl Bracy, executive vice president of marketing and new business, Essilor of America. “Consumers should demand the same level of clarity from their eyeglasses, and we’re proud to help bring consumer sight into this high-def world.”
Essilor conducted a double-blind clinical study to compare Essilor 360° lenses to standard single-vision lenses, and results showed significant overall improvement in vision. In addition, wearers with strong prescriptions reported particular improvement when peripheral vision was used.
