Essilor to Launch PAL Technology Optimized for Specific Eye Shapes
Essilor is introducing two new progressive lenses to the Essilor PAL family: Accolade and Accolade Freedom. These lenses join Ovation, SmallFit, Natural and Adaptar as part of the non-Varilux Essilor PAL offerings. These PALs are available to ECPs when the premium Varilux brand is not an option. Accolade and Accolade Freedom lenses allow patients to see better, faster. They will be especially valuable for ECPs where fast adaptation and price are the main concerns.
Accolade will be available to Eye Care Professionals beginning Friday, February 9th.
Essilor offers Accolade in two versions:
- Accolade lenses utilize HARMONIX, the latest patented technology from Essilor. Harmonix integrates eye shape (the length of the eye) into an individual progressive lens design. The result is unparalleled acuity:
- In clinical wearer tests, Accolade was preferred 3 to 1 in overall peripheral and dynamic vision over Ovation lenses
- 9 out of 10 patients adapt immediately to Accolade
- Minimum Fitting Height of 17 mm
- Available in traditional surfacing
- Accolade Freedom lenses combine Harmonix with the added dimension of FrameOptimization Technology. Through FrameOptimization, the backside design is optimized using digital surfacing based on frame dimensions, fittings and Rx, so patients gain the freedom to choose the frames they want with a customized lens design.
- No additional measurements are required (the usual A, B, PD and Seg. Height)
- Minimum Fitting Height as low as 15 mm
- Accolade Freedom lenses includes your choice of Crizal anti-reflective Technology
- These lenses can be ordered as full jobs through your Essilor Processing Center
Accolade and Accolade Freedom are available in the following materials:
- Thin&Lite 1.67 Clear and Transitions® V (Gray and Brown), Rx range -12.00 D to +8.00 D
- Airwear Clear and Transitions V (Gray and Brown), Rx range -10.00 D to +6.00 D
- 1.5 Plastic Clear and Transitions (Gray and Brown), Rx range -9.00 D to +6.00 D
- Add: +0.75 to 3.50
- All Materials up to -4.00 D cylinder
- Other Materials will be introduced throughout the year
