YOUNGER OPTICS EXPANDS DRIVEWEAR® LINE WITH IMAGE PROGRESSIVE

(TORRANCE, CA — January 2007) Younger Optics has recently expanded the availability of their innovative new line by introducing Drivewear IMAGE® progressives. “Since we released Drivewear lenses, the number-one product request has been for a progressive. We are pleased to fulfill that request with the new Drivewear Image progressive,” according to David Rips, President and CEO of Younger Optics.

The award-winning IMAGE progressive has been rated favorably among recent independent studies. This is in part because IMAGE boasts one of the widest distortion free distance zones in the industry, a key advantage for the driving task. From the dashboard to the road ahead, IMAGE provides excellent viewing at near, far and intermediate distances, and can accommodate Rx ranges of -8D to +6D, with 1.00 – 3.00 add powers.

Drivewear lenses uniquely combine two of the most advanced technologies found in the eyeglass industry today: Transitions™ Photochromic Technology and NuPolar® polarization. Designed specifically to meet the unique visual demands of the driving task, Drivewear is the first polarized photochromic lens to darken behind the windshield of a car which allows Drivewear lenses to change color based on current driving conditions in order to enhance the driver’s vision. In addition, Drivewear lenses are polarized to block blinding glare, another essential attribute when driving a car.
