According to a company press release, while most consumers associate the NIKON brand with high quality camera lenses, many remain unaware of the brand as it relates to eyeglass lenses.
In order to build awareness of the NIKON Lenswear brand, the company has launched a multi-pronged direct to consumer national media campaign including outdoor digital media in Toronto and billboards in Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal.
The consumer campaign is coupled with a special offer from NIKON. Isabelle Mongeau, VP of Marketing and Business Development indicates, “By tying in a special offer, it becomes actionable for consumers and invites conversations with Eye Care Professionals.”

The Arizona State Board of Dispensing Opticians challenge to the sale of adjustable focus eyewear without a prescription has been quashed by the State’s Attorney office. The Dispensing Opticians argued that selling such eyewear, as marketed by Adlens® a leader in the emerging eyewear segment, was a violation of current laws and a risk to users and the public.
Adlens defending the challenge by citing a British Medical Journal and Ophtalmology study that indicates safe use without a prescription. In turn, Opticians argued that over-the-counter glasses could only be used for near vision correction. However, Adlens commissioned a consumer trial in Phoenix to demonstrate that many hyperopic individuals use conventional over-the-counter reading glasses to correct their distance vision, even while driving, thus setting a precedent for use by the public. The Board subsequently abandoned its action.
