Essilor Canada launches Eyezen Expert 1.1, a new vision solution which will allow 40 to 50 years old connected wearers to unleash the full potential of their life, every day.
A study conducted by Essilor among 1,500 people aged 40 to 50 revealed that: usage of screens is the activity they declare doing most during the day; they use their smartphones almost every day, as much as the computer and television, and they begin to experience near-vision difficulties that they consider to be eye fatigue.
“Always focused on the wearer, our innovations are developed to meet real needs, to improve vision and make a difference in people’s lives,” says Marion Aymond, Brand Manager at Essilor Canada. “Eyezen + Expert 1.1 lenses take into account the lifestyle and specific requirements of today’s 40 to 50-year olds.”
Eyezen + Expert 1.1 lenses help relieve and protect the eyes thanks to: the Eyezen Focus 1.1 innovation, which supports eyes focus efforts, reduces visual fatigue and improves the readability of small print; the characteristics of the Essilor Blue Collection, which offer protection up to 3 times greater against the blue-violet light; and W.A.V.E. Technology which improves the perception of contrasts as well as the quality and sharpness of the image.
With the arrival of this new design, there is an Eyezen + lens for all profiles and all ages, allowing all single vision wearers to benefit from the latest innovations.
