From managing myopia in children to progressive lenses, light-adaptive technology and advanced lens coatings, Essilor offers innovative solutions designed around the way we see and live.
At Nicholls Optometrists, we offer a range of Essilor lens technologies and can help you choose the right combination for your vision, lifestyle and individual needs.
Varilux® has been at the forefront of progressive lens technology for decades, providing clear vision across near, intermediate and distance without the visible lines of traditional bifocals.
The latest Varilux® XR series™ takes progressive lens technology a step further. Using artificial intelligence and extensive wearer-behaviour data, the lens design is able to predict how wearers naturally look through their lenses as their eyes move from one object to another.
This is particularly important in everyday life, where our eyes are constantly changing direction and focus — looking from a phone to someone across the room, checking the dashboard while driving, walking down stairs or moving through a busy environment.
Varilux XR is designed to provide sharp vision even while in motion, with smooth, natural transitions between near, intermediate and distance vision.
At Nicholls Optometrists, we take precise measurements and consider your prescription, frame choice and lifestyle to help select the Varilux progressive lens best suited to you.
Transitions® lenses automatically adapt to changing light conditions, giving you comfortable vision as you move throughout your day. They are clear indoors and darken outdoors in response to UV light, then fade back to clear when you return inside.
The latest Transitions® GEN S™ lenses are designed to be ultra-responsive to light, darkening in seconds outdoors and fading back to clear faster than previous generations.
Available in a range of stylish colours, Transitions lenses combine vision correction, light management and UV protection in one everyday pair of glasses.
For people who are particularly light-sensitive or spend significant time driving and outdoors, Transitions® XTRActive® options are also available. These lenses provide extra darkness outdoors and can activate to some degree behind the windscreen of a car.
Essilor Stellest® lenses are specially designed spectacle lenses that provide clear vision while helping to slow the progression of myopia (short-sightedness) in children.
Using Essilor’s innovative H.A.L.T. technology, Stellest lenses incorporate myopia-control technology into an everyday pair of glasses, making them a practical and comfortable option for children.
At Nicholls Optometrists, we offer personalised myopia management, including regular monitoring of your child’s vision and eye growth.
