Essilor Announces Local Manufacturing for Nikon

31 May 2010 Filed under: What's New?

The Nikon brand is synonymous with advanced technology and the highest quality optical lenses. For 14 years Nikon prescription lenses have been used by New Zealand’s Eye-care professionals to provide patients with the latest lens technology, designed and manufactured to the highest standard.

The Nikon See Series is the latest generation of high-end progressive and single vision lenses, with superior performance drawn from revolutionary optical designs and cutting-edge digital surfacing technologies.

Essilor is proud to announce that Nikon Seewide and Nikon Seemax lenses will now be manufactured locally at the Essilor Technology Centre (ETC) in Auckland.

The complex aspheric surfaces of the Nikon See Series require the most advanced calculation which is performed by Nikon in Japan, combined with the latest surfacing technologies which are only available from the ETC in New Zealand. Essilor’s ongoing investments in the ETC are essential in order to provide these high-tech lenses on a local level. By manufacturing locally, Essilor can offer more active and responsive service, quicker turnaround times, and a higher level of support to the practice.

Seewide: 1.5 Clear, 1.5 Transitions® VI, 1.6 Clear, 1.6 Transitions® VI, 1.67 Clear, 1.67 Transitions® VI, 1.74 Clear (manufactured in Japan)
