ESSILORUSA.COM RELAUNCHEDNew Site Offers Robust, Easy to Navigate Information
For Eye Care Professionals and Consumers

DALLAS – (March 21, 2006) – Finding the right lenses, eye care professional or even a distributor can be overwhelming, especially given the plethora of choices available to consumers today. Understanding different visual problems, types of materials and what to ask an eye care professional can also leave consumers in confusion.

To answer those issues and more, Essilor of America is relaunching its corporate Web site. EssilorUSA.com has undergone a complete redesign, adding new features and a more user-friendly navigation. EssilorUSA.com continues to serve as a reliable industry resource with enriched product and eye health information.

“EssilorUSA.com now offers our audiences more data in a user-friendly format that is easily searchable from the source they can trust,” said Carl Bracy, vice president of marketing for Essilor of America. “EssilorUSA.com contains current information not only about our company and our products, but also about eye health and how the eyes work. We hope this site will be used as a resource for anyone looking into visual issues.”

Consumers and eye care professionals will find that the new site offers a wealth of information, including how to find the best lenses for an individual. By answering a series of questions, the site will provide a recommendation of products to meet a person’s needs. Better functionality and easier to navigate pages, as well as a new site design, color scheme and interface are also part of the launch.

Other main site sections include: About Us, Our Products, Education, Services, Careers, Press Room and Contact Us. For more information, log on to www.essilorusa.com.
