Precision technology honed and fine-tuned for generations in the production of cameras and high-precision measuring instrumentation lenses has made Nikon the unrivalled master craftsman when it comes to the art of making optical surfaces. In addition, Nikon’s new and advanced Seemax bi-aspheric single vision lenses integrate front-and-back surface aspheric geometry that results in lenses with unparalleled distortion elimination, consistent prescription and ultra-flat curvatures across the entire lens. This cutting-edge technology ensures that wearers not only have sharper, clearer and more natural size images, but also uniquely thin, light and flattering lenses to wear.
Nikon offers a wide range of lens types to suit your prescription. When selecting your lenses with your eye care professional, inquire about the added advantages that Nikon’s spherical (standard), aspheric or bi-aspheric design lenses provide. Nikon single vision lenses are available in several materials and indexes; the higher the index, the thinner the lens. Simply consult the chart below for the lenses that best suit your needs.
Nikon’s aspheric technology clearly demonstrates its multi-faceted advantages in terms of lens design. Applying this technology to back-and-front surface of the lens (bi-asphericity) enables Nikon to even further these advantages in areas such as distortion elimination, peripheral vision extension and more natural vision.
Ultra Thin Plastic seemax
Seemax™ : Ultra-thin bi-aspheric plastic lenses
Nikon’s newest front-and-back surface aspheric lenses specially designed to maximize optics within a given frame shape
Seemax™ provides you with exceptional visual sharpness and clarity across the entire lens by integrating the following features:
- Optimized prescription power - Undistorted peripheral vision - Ultra-thin and light plastic material - Nikon’s world-renowned SeeCoat, HCC ICE and HCC coatings. - UV 400 protection (complete ultraviolet radiation protection)
Seemax™ - the new way of seeing
Aspheric
Traditionally, the stronger one’s prescription, the thicker the lens. Now however, with aspheric technology, lenses can have an extremely thin, cosmetic appeal. In general, the higher the refractive index, the thinner the lens! In short, Nikon single vision lenses are synonymous with ease, simplicity and aesthetics for all who wear them.
