Now featuring NEW Varilux Comfort 360º and NEW Varilux Ellipse 360º
Traditional lens designs have set the standard for most progressive lenses available on the market today. Nevertheless there has always been a compromise in optical performance, as “best form” lens shape could not be supplied for the individual patient’s prescription.
Digital surfacing provides greater flexibility and control for the production of the intended design on the back surface. However, even with digital surfacing, lens design remains the critical factor.
The Varilux 360º Series takes the proven Varilux Design Series which includes Varilux Physio, Varilux Comfort and Varilux Ellipse and adds the ingenuity of Essilor’s Advanced Digital Surfacing™ technology.
All Varilux 360º products benefit from the ability to create the optimal lens with a customized “best form” back surface. Essilor’s Point-By-Point Prescription Mapping™ calculates a unique design tailored to the front-surface progression and the wearer’s prescription. Patented surfacing tools ensure the optimal visual performance of the lens.
Varilux 360º Series is built on Dual Digital Vision (DDV), a 3-step process taking into account:
1) Proven Lens Designs Any surfacing process is only as good as the lens it is being applied to – no PAL brand surpasses Varilux for proven performance and patient satisfaction. In fact, in a double blind clinical trial Varilux Physio non-digitally surfaced was preferred 4:1 over a competitor’s premium digitally surfaced PAL.1
2) Digital Surfacing Calculation – Essilor’s Point-By-Point Prescription Mapping ™ This patented calculation software analyses the lens design and calculates a customised and complementary back surface. The effectiveness of the original front surface design is enhanced for all prescriptions. Integrating the qualities of both lens surfaces is the key to maximising performance
3) Patented Surfacing Tools Expert knowledge of progressive lenses and digital surfacing is critical to produce the customised back surfaces of Varilux 360˚ lenses. Essilor has developed a patented digital process that delivers pin-point accuracy unlike anything else on the market.
With up to 30% wider fields of vision, it’s easy to see the benefits
• Unlike our competitors, Varilux 360˚ creates an optimal lens by customising the wearer’s prescription to the front-surface design – widening vision in every zone.
• When a distance prescription is ground on any semi-finished lens, the base curve makes only one “best-form” prescription. Each wearer’s prescription is different and will generate unique variations of
peripheral aberration. A single traditional design will not compensate for each of these variations.
• Varilux 360˚ resolves this issue by creating a unique back surface design that widens fields of vision by up to 30% and provides crisper acuity, right to the edge of the lens.
Your patients will also experience remarkable benefits
The Varilux 360º Series lifts restrictions on the wearer’s vision that they may have experienced wearing reading or bifocal lenses. With all Varilux 360º products the wearer’s fields of vision are expanded and their progressive vision becomes more natural.
• Visual freedom at near, far and everywhere in between
• 30% Wider fields of vision
• Crisper acuity right to the edge of the lens
