Introducing Varilux Physio f-360º Enhanced High Resolution Vision™ with flexible wearing parameters
After successfully launching the Varilux 360º Series with three new designs earlier this year, Essilor has once again broken new ground with their new progressive lens design.
The elite design of Varilux Physio f-360º builds on the success of Varilux Physio and Varilux Physio 360º to offer Enhanced High Resolution Vision™ thanks to Essilor’s exclusive W.A.V.E. Technology™.
W.A.V.E. Technology (Analysis of the Wavefront) is used to analyse the entire beam of light entering the pupil, not just single rays. Higher order aberrations can thus be controlled, to provide higher resolution for patients in all gaze directions.
Varilux Physio f-360º enhances High Resolution Vision™ with the introduction of flexible wearing parameters. Taking into account pupillary distance, vertex distance, pantoscopic tilt, wrap angle and fitting height (right and left), Varilux Physio f-360º can be designed individually to each wearer’s exact requirements.
Specific measuring devices are required to obtain the additional parameters. These five measurements can be taken using either Essilor’s Visioffice dispensing unit or with the comprehensive hand held measuring tool specifically designed to assist the ordering of Varilux Physio f-360º.
Compared to a standard progressive lens, Varilux Physio f-360º improves visual performance by up to 30%. Patients benefit from up to 30% better contrast in far vision, up to 30% wider fields of vision in mid distance and up to 30% easier access to near vision thanks to a custom-located near vision area.
Varilux Physio f-360º will be available from August 2009.
Olivier Chupin, General Manager for Essilor NZ says, “Varilux Physio f-360º reinforces Essilor’s commitment to the New Zealand eye-care professionals by providing the latest in lens technology through our local network of laboratories.”
