THE

ESSILOR ANNOUNCES BREAKTHROUGH PROGRESSIVE
LENS INNOVATION: VARILUX XR SERIES
n a first, EssilorLuxottica’s scientists have harnessed the power of
Iartificial intelligence and combined it with their understanding of
consumer lifestyles to create the Varilux XR series.
The Group has gathered over one million data points to develop a
breakthrough behavioral modeling system that predicts how presbyope
individuals will look at objects around them.
“The power of artificial intelligence lies in the quantity, quality and
variety of data and the way they’re analyzed. The insights we established
from data collected from customer orders, real life wearer tests, in store
measurements and physiological models are exclusive to EssilorLuxottica.
Thanks to the digital twinning technology, we can now establish a
visual behavior profile for every single prescription and provide the first
eye-responsive lens that respects the natural behavior of the eye,”
commented Norbert Gorny, co-chief operating officer at EssilorLuxottica.
Varilux XR series wearers benefit from instant sharpness, even in motion,
with up to 49 per cent more vision volume compared to Varilux X series.
In independent third-party tests, 87 per cent of the consumers, mostly
wearing premium progressive lenses, preferred the Varilux® XR series to
their previous lenses, after trying them, with no change in their prescription.

COOPERVISION SPECIALTY EYECARE BECOMES EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER OF SYNERGEYES
SCANFITPRO
eeping with its longstanding commitment to provide eyecare practitioners (ECPs) with the most robust
Kportfolio of specialty contact lens products and services, CooperVision Specialty EyeCare has become the
exclusive provider of a pioneering scleral lens design system. Using a novel algorithm, ScanFitPRO software
precisely maps topographical data from patients’ eyes to create custom lens designs unique to their ocular
profiles, without diagnostic lens fitting or physical impressions.
Moving forward, all SynergEyes ScanFitPRO orders and customer support will be managed by CooperVision
Specialty EyeCare. The technology was developed by EyePrint Prosthetics, which continues to operate as an
independent company.
The ScanFitPRO design software is compatible with Oculus Pentacam’s Corneal Scleral Profile (CSP) Report,
Oculus AXL Wave, and the Eaglet Eye’s Surface Profiler (ESP). Both scanning technologies capture the
patients’ eye in a straight-ahead gaze, maximizing lens accuracy.
