He noted Maid2Measure is
a Canadian innovation that helps
Canadian patients understand the
benefit of the new lenses available on
the market.
Maid2Measure captures the
monocular PDs based on the way the
frames are fitted on the patient’s face.
It gives the optician an opportunity to
explain the importance of fitting the
frames prior to ordering their lenses,
as monocular PDs could change
from one frame to another, which is
not the cause of the monocular PD
measurements using a pupillometer.
He added in Europe, ECPs
have embraced electronic centration
solutions for more than 10
years. Now more than 60 per cent
of offices use an electronic centration
solution in their dispensary. This
trend is arriving quickly in North
America. Offices that embrace this
technology and inform their patients
that they can offer them a unique
experience with this technology, will
benefit from a huge competitive edge.
“Given that lenses are becoming
more and more personalized and
require more measurements than just
pupillary distance and seg heights, it
is becoming more challenging for the
ECP to use manual tools to capture
all of those measurements,” he said.
“The Maid2Measure technology
captures all the measurements needed
to order any type of lens on the market
using one single frontal image. It is
also a great troubleshooting tool for
the optician as profiles can be saved
on the iPad to be viewed at a later
date.”
The Maid2Measure is the only
product on the market that captures
all the eyewear measurements using
one single frontal image. It is also
the only product that is designed in
Canada.
Varilux® S series
More than one million presbyopes worldwide now wear Varilux S series lenses and See Better, See Wider and See
Faster. They can enjoy those benefits because of the 3 breakthrough technologies at the heart of the Varilux S
series, which are protected by 13 patents.
Nanoptix completely reengineers the lens structure and the way the design is calculated. The lens is no
longer viewed just as a front and back surface. Instead, Nanoptix divides the lens into many optical elements.
Each optical element is optimized in both base curve and power to stabilize the beam deviation. The result: a
progressive lens that virtually eliminates swim effect, and offers unmatched stability of vision in motion. The
wearer will feel better during daily activities.
The 2nd revolution is based on
lens design and is called SynchronEyes.
This technology takes into account the
physiological differences between the 2
eyes to calculate the lenses as a pair, as
a visual system. This technology provides
wide angle vision and edge to edge clarity.
The wearer’s eyes work better together.
Last but not least, a revolution in
personalization: 4D Technology. Just as
we are left or right handed, we have a
leading dominant eye. By respecting the
dominant eye leading role, 4D Technology
offers faster visual reaction time, allowing the wearer to experience reflex vision. The wearer’s eyes focus faster.
While essential to providing the most advanced personalized progressive lenses, Essilor’s Visioffice®, the
leading technology in its field, also enhances every consumer’s in-store/in office experience, whatever type of
lenses they require. Quick and precise measurements, personalized lens simulations, product demonstrations and
a frame selection interface make the Visioffice a highly practical tool throughout the dispensing process.
