Why Bevel Matters – Quick Reference Guide

The bevel is the angled cut on the edge of a lens that allows it to fit securely into the frame. Though small, this detail greatly affects fit, durability, safety, and appearance.

  • Fit & Cosmetics: Right bevel = lenses sit flush with the frame. Wrong bevel = gaps, tilt, or exposed edges.
  • Durability & Safety: Correct bevel prevents loosening, popping, or cracking. Wrong bevel risks breakage, especially in high-index lenses.
  • Efficiency: Avoids remakes and delays in patient delivery. Continue reading here.

Introducing Varilux® Physio® extensee™ – A New Era in Progressive Lens Innovation

Essilor continues to lead the way in progressive lens design with the launch of Varilux Physio extensee™, the latest innovation in the successful Physio family. This new lens features groundbreaking Pupilizer™ technology, designed to enhance visual sharpness and contrast by accounting for how pupil size naturally varies with lighting conditions. Our eyes rely on contrast and sharpness for clear vision—both of which are significantly influenced by pupil size. However, traditional progressive lenses are often based on a fixed pupil size assumption, ignoring the fact that pupil size changes with age, lighting, object distance, and object brightness. This leads to an increase in high-order aberrations (HOA), especially in low-light conditions, which negatively impact visual clarity and comfort. Continue reading here..
