TRANSITIONS VI IS COMING SOON

Beginning February 1st, Advance Optical will begin processing the new Transitions VI products where available. Most Transitions products in CR-39, polycarbonate, high-indes, and Trivex will eventually be made in the new Transitions VI technology. While many styles of progressive lenses will be available immediately some of the most popular styles will not be available until March, and some of the infrequently used styles will not be replaced until current inventories are reduced.

Varilux/Essilor will delay launch of The Comfort, Panamic, Natural, Adaptar, and Accolade until March 14th. Physio, Ellipse, Ovation and Definity will be part of the February 1st release.

Carl Zeiss Vision will not be converting these products to Gen VI: Sola XL, AO Pro, and Percepta. These products will be supported in Gen V until 12/31/2008. None of the 1.54 index Velocity product will be converted as the current Velocity products already have comparable performance to Trans.VI. All other product will be available February 1st.

Core products such as single vision, ST28,ST35,and 7x28 trifocal in CR39 will be available immediately, as well as single vision in polycarbonate, and all styles in Trilogy.

This Transitions upgrade is world wide, and will enable all Transitions VI product to perform the same. This means changing a bit faster both indoors and outdoors, and not being as temperature dependent as previous lenses.

Image Wrap

Younger Optics announces the launch of the Image Wrap lens in polycarbonate NuPolar Gray. What's useful about this product is that it is available as a decentered blank effectively making it the same as an 83mm blank, permitting cut out where normally there might be difficulty due to large frame/narrow PD syndrome.

The blank is available only in an 8 B.C. which limits its usefulness for myopic patients. Available adds are 1.00-3.00.
