Mastering the Art and 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 Spectacle Lenses provide wearers with outstanding vision quality.
Let's take a closer look at what composes them.
The Materials
Nikon has been involved in the development of materials for a wide range of optical products to meet a wide array of needs.
Our ambition is to leverage our optical know-how to optimise lenses for every wearer, making sure you have the clearest vision possible. Nikon is known for producing some of the thinnest and clearest ophthalmic lenses available.
The Coatings
The coating is applied like a varnish to the lens. The roles of coatings are to control light, reduce reflections and protect the spectacle lenses.
The outer layers of lenses repel water and oil, prevent static electricity and improve scratch resistance as well as giving you cleaner, clearer, sharper and more durable lenses.
The Optical Design
The design of spectacle lens determines how it will function and correct your vision. Do you need to see better far away? Up-close? Or both?
Our advanced technologies in precision and customisation are an essential part of ophthalmic lens design to give you clearer, sharper and distortion-free vision.
Our advanced and exclusive design technologies are an essential part of the high performance of our Spectacle Lenses giving you sharp and distortion-free vision.
The clarity of vision that you see through your Nikon Spectacle Lenses contains everything we have learned and developed at Nikon.
With over 100 years of expertise in optics, we have developed a strong Research and Development 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: A Revolutionary Perspective
Your Nikon Spectacle Lenses are manufactured one at a time for a truly custom-made result. They are calculated using the Nikon Optical Design Engine (NODE) in Japan by rigorously using measurements (Up to 20 personalisation parameters) sent by your optician.
Nikon Optical Design Engine 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 personalised vision solutions, uniquely tailored for you.
