“Essilor
Canada
is convinced
that everyone
needs and
should
have access
to blue light
protection.”
Outdoors, these lenses have a mirror
finish and provide intelligent visual
comfort and hassle-free protection
from UV and harmful blue light. Indoors
the mirror fades to a light reflection
with a hint of colour. “They are ideal
for those who are especially sensitive
to light, as they are extra dark outdoors
to protect from even the darkest sun
and they darken behind the windshield
of the car,” says Tremblay-Dawson.
Kodak Unique DRO and Kodak Unique
DRO HD progressive lenses with
Dynamic Reading Optimization are
now available in Canada. Centennial
Optical and Riverside Opticalab have
teamed up to produce these digitally
customized progressive lenses.
DRO - Dynamic Reading Optimization,
improves the overall optical perfor-
mance of the lens while significantly
reducing oblique astigmatic errors in
the reading area. Kodak Unique DRO
lenses allow greater precision and
wider clear fields of view,
while the Kodak Unique
DRO HD progressive
lenses take customization
to the next level, using
position-of-wear measure-
ments to highly customize
the lens to the individual
patient’s viewing needs.
The DRO technology
greatly reduces off-axis
viewing, allowing the eyes
to comfortably focus in the
reading area for longer
periods of time.
