ESSILOR TO INTRODUCE EXPANDED VERSION OF
NEXT GENERATION TRANSITIONS® FINISHED SINGLE VISION GRAY
DALLAS - (October 16, 2002) – Effective November 1, Essilor Lenses will extend the product range of its successful 1.50 index, Next Generation Transitions® Finished Single Vision Gray (+2.00D to –2.00D) to accommodate +4.00D to –4.00D range out to cylinder –2.00. The new range completes Essilor’s Next Generation Transitions® finished single vision offerings and joins other Next Generation Transitions®’ 1.50 lenses introduced earlier this year in Varilux® Comfort and Varilux® Panamic®, other Essilor Progressives (including Essilor Natural®, Adaptar® and Ovation™), SF Single Vision and ST Bifocal. All are available with Essilor’s Crizal®, the industry’s premier and most recommended anti-reflective lens.

“We are proud to be able to offer the latest Transitions technology - the clearest, darkest and fastest-activating photochromic lens today with so many of our lens offerings,” said John Carrier, senior vice president of marketing for Essilor of America. “Combine that with Essilor’s Crizal anti-reflection properties and we are enabling the ECP to recommend an extremely smart choice for their patients’ everyday pair of eyeglasses.”

Next Generation Transitions® Lenses can be ordered through VisionWebSM at www.visionweb.com for all laboratories that are connected to the site. The lenses can also be ordered through Authorized Varilux® and Crizal® Distributors.
