Single Vision Lenses

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.
