Nikon Optical Canada announces that Transitions XTRActive New Generation and Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses will be available as of July 18th. By combining Nikon state-of-the art designs with innovative Transitions technology, patients have an optimal visual experience and increased level of satisfaction while generating more sales and future sales for clinics.
Transitions XTRActive New Generation and Transitions XTRActive Polarized feature a 35% faster fade back time compared to previous generations. They are ideal for patients who frequently move from indoors to outdoors and are looking for an optical solution that perfectly matches their dynamic lifestyles.
· Transitions XTRActive New Generation lenses protect against bright lights, provide 100% UVA and UVB protection, offer blue light protection and is the darkest photochromic lens in hot temperatures and in the car.
· Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses are specially designed for very bright light and reflective glare exposure. They become extra dark and polarized at the same time when they are activated outdoors. Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses do not activate indoors, neither for darkness nor for polarization. As a result, the wearer can use their digital devices without having to worry about a polarized lens blocking their view of the screen and still receive the benefit of Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses.
Available in Nikon progressives SeeMax™ Ultimate, Presio Power Infinite and Presio Inspire, Nikon single vision lenses SeeMax™ Infinite and NL ViewFit, and with SeeCoat™ Next, HCC ICE and H coatings.

ZEISS has launched ZEISS ClearView FSV lenses, creating a new category of Single Vision (SV) lens that incorporates attributes of a complex SV freeform lens design into a Stock Finished SV lens. The benefits: improved peripheral optics and lens aesthetics (flatter, thinner) at a lower cost and faster delivery compared to surfaced lens alternatives.
ZEISS has made this possible using their new ClearForm® manufacturing process that enables transposing advanced freeform designs into the finished SV lens.
The final lens delivers, on average, a three times larger zone of clear vision providing more clarity from the lens centre to the periphery in a flatter and thinner lens. ZEISS SV ClearView lenses are, on average, 34 percent flatter across all prescriptions and up to 16 percent thinner compared to typical spherical single vision lenses.
ClearView FSV comes in a wide range of material types with an extensive Rx range. A made to order SV surfaced option is also available. Contact your ZEISS representative for details.
