ESSILOR INTRODUCES VARILUX® PANAMIC® AIRWEAR® POLARIZED GRAY
Most Technologically Advanced PAL Incorporates Airwear® Polarized Lenses
DALLAS - (July 22, 2004) – Available immediately, presbyopes can enjoy great vision in gray polarized sunglasses that also protect them in possible high impact situations. Essilor of America is combining Varilux® Panamic®, its technologically superior PAL design, with polarized technology and Airwear®, the only lens material that provides the unmatched combination of comfort, cosmetics and safety. By incorporating the anti-reflective properties of Essilor’s Crizal® Alizé™, bothersome reflections are reduced even further and the lens is easier to clean, making it the ultimate sunwear for comfortable outdoor wear and safe driving.
“Presbyopes are not slowing down. Outdoor activity, and the desire to wear trendy, lighter and thinner lenses, is requiring our industry to meet the lifestyle demands of these patients,” said Mike Daley, president of Essilor Lenses. “We’re doing just that with the introduction of Varilux® Panamic® Airwear® Polarized Gray, and the timing of a summer launch works well for ECPs making lens recommendations associated with the season.”
The product’s parameters are +6.00D to –10.00D power range, -4.00 cylinder, and +.75 to +3.50 add (in 0.25 steps). The diameter is 75/80 mm.
