Maximum fields of vision, so you can see all vital information. Nanoptix technology will re-engineer your lenses to virtually reduce image distortions, making it even easier to wear varifocal lenses. No sensation of loss of balance when moving, resulting in a comfortable wearing experience from day one. Your smartphone, desk, book, children, grandchildren, everything that truly matters to you. Xtend technology has optimised the near vision zone of your lenses allowing you to capture all crucial information 40-70cm away, with one gaze. The Varilux® X Design™ is the result of the combination of three breakthrough technologies ĭramatically reduce unnecessary head movements when trying to find the sweet spot of the lens. Technology behind a vision revolution: the Varilux® X Design™ Progressive lens These new techniques provide insights (pictured below) into each wearer’s needs and were instrumental in the designing process of the Varilux® X Design™ progressive lens. This lab is used to capture wearers’ postures and movements in real time as they perform simple tasks such as working on a computer, reading on an e-reader, writing emails, playing video games, watching videos on tablets, using and sending messages on a smartphone, etc. They drew on a range of new research resources, including:Ī test house, the HouseLab™, where consumers were observed and interviewed while immersed in a natural but controlled environment in which they could perform routine daily activities.Ī laboratory for evaluating wearers’ behaviour, the Essilor’s Movis Laboratory. Together, they studied expectations and behaviours among today’s wearers, developed new research methods for observing their day to day experience as closely as possible and learned more about these wearers’ needs, both presbyopes and consumers. Essilor gathered a team of specialists from a variety of disciplines, including ergonomists, physiologists, sociologists and optic designers. The Varilux® X Design™ Progressive lens is designed to offer these wearers an extended near vision within arm’s reach that meets their demanding vision needs more effectively than a conventional progressive lens. Therefore they need to be able to shift smoothly from one task to another, without being held back by their vision.Ī new methodology of studying today's wearers' needs Their vision is dynamic and numerous distances are involved. Working on computer screens, reviewing documents, typing on a keyboard, watching videos, answering their mobile phones, sending text messages, sharing data with their family and friends, etc, these Presbyopes are not only reading but also performing multiple tasks at a near-intermediate distance between 40-70cm. The advent of digital tools like computers, tablets, smartphones have radically transformed their near-vision needs. Gone are the days of reading at one (single) near distance instead, their entire near space is used to carry out multiple tasks with near vision up to arm’s length. Gen X - those born between 19 - have very different vision requirements from their elders. New vision needs for near vision and beyond Let’s examine the driving principle behind Varilux® X Design™ Progressive lens and understand how EMME Visioncare can ensure that this new generation of progressive lenses is more than capable of matching up to the demanding vision needs of today’s presbyopes. Essilor came up with Varilux® X Design™ lens and it is designed to offer an expanded field of near vision and improved visual comfort for all vision within arm’s reach. As a result, progressive lens design has to keep pace with the ever changing dynamics and respond more effectively to the needs of a new generation of wearers. Compared to the past when they merely needed the ability to read from a single distance, today presbyopes are faced with multiple tasks that involve near vision and beyond. The vision needs of presbyopes have changed significantly. Essilor Varilux® X Design™: the progressive lens that moves with today’s world
