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 Spectacle Lenses 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 like a varnish on the lenses. Coatings can filter light, reduce reflections and protect the spectacle lenses.
They are applied to the outer layer of the lenses to repel water and oil, prevent static electricity, and improve scratch resistance but also to filter light waves providing cleaner and clearer lenses but also more durable and comfortable lenses.
The Optical Design
The design of spectacle lenses determines how it will function and correct your vision. Do you need to better far away? Up-close? Or both?
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.
Nikon Expertise in Your Spectacle Lenses
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 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.
NODE: 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 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.
