Mastering the Art & Science of Vision
Harnessing the knowledge from Nikon optics and preserving the masterful Japanese craftsmanship to develop some of the best ophthalmic lenses in the industry
How Are Lenses Made?
By combining clear and thin materials with sharp designs and high-performance coatings.
This is how Nikon Lenswear provide wearers with outstanding vision quality.
Let's take a closer look at what composes them.
The Materials
Purity and homogeneity are very important factors for lenses to have a high level of transmittance to let the highest amount of light through the lens.
Nikon is known for using some of the thinnest and clearest ophthalmic lenses.
The Coatings
Coatings are applied on the outer layer of the lenses. They filter light, reduce reflections and protect the lenses from scratches, dirt and water marks. Some of our coatings even enhance contrast perception. Nikon coatings provide cleaner and clearer lenses but, also more durable and comfortable lenses.
The Optical Design
The design of the lens determines how it will function and correct your vision. Do you need to see from far away? Up-close? Or both?
Our advanced and exclusive design technologies are an essential part of the high performance of our lenses giving you sharp and distortion-free vision.
Nikon Expertise in Your Eyeglass Lenses
The clarity of vision that you see through your Nikon eyeglass lenses contains everything we have learned and developed at Nikon.
With over 100 years of expertise in optics, we have developed a strong R&D ecosystem where all the traits of our Nikon DNA are harmoniously intertwined to mutually support and reinforce one another.
With Nikon Core Technology Center, all of Nikon’s businesses work together in synergy to constantly innovate and stimulate creativity.
Nikon Optical Design Engine - Z
Your Nikon eyeglass lenses are manufactured one at a time for a truly custom-made result. They are calculated using the Nikon Optical Design Engine - Z in Japan by rigorously using measurements (Up to 20 personalization parameters) sent by your eye care professional.
The Nikon Optical Design Engine Z is an extremely powerful calculator that allows each design to be mapped out at the submicron scale by using infinite calculation loops.
Ultimately our goal is to provide personalized vision solutions, uniquely tailored for you.
