Just wanted to start a thread discussing the new Seemax progressive lenses by Nikon Optical. There are two corridor lengths. One has a minimum fit hight of 15mm(design 12) and the other has a minimum 17mm(design 14). Right out of the new brochure it says there are 2 designs for more choice. Design 12(12mm) is ideal for small frames and has emphasis on near and intermediate vision.
Design 14(14mm)Is for active wearers and emerging first time presbyopes (emphasis on far and intermediate vision). Ideal for larger or regular sized frames.
There is a lot more to this design than what I've stated and I am not going to cut n paste the whole pamphlet.
Nikon states that this lens is:
a 3D Lens Design
Digital Bi-Aspheric
It's 3D Optimization is achieved through 2 procedures
1. Multi-axial process. The lens is divided into sixteen areas, each area is optimized according to the prescription, and the lens' relative position in the frame.
2.Frame shape process.Taking into account the eye's position in both the lens and in the wearers frame shape, each lens section is specifically optomized, rendering a level of precision that is unprecedented in the field.
3D Aberration Filter.
Also Nikon expands the aberration filter technology to new limits.
The Seemax now provides 3D distortion control by filtering distortion induced by the front curvature and has an" Increase in plus power induced by the progression."
3D Lens Design Benefits:
.Peripheral vision 60% wider
.Distortion Reduced by at least 40%
.Instantaneous auto focus
.Maximum vision via prescription power Optimization
.2 Designs and variable insets for each lens
.Wearer-Specific visual zone positioning
.Aesthetic appeal
I have tried to give you pretty much all the info available on the brochure. I would really like to here from someone who is wearing them, or has delivered a pair. I am going to try a pair for my self and will update as I get a chance to try them out.
