Optical patents: innovation at the core of Varilux

Essilor encompasses 500 researchers and more than 4,000 optical patents in the field of ophthalmic lenses.

The mission? To offer wearers natural vision.

The goal? To constantly progress Optical Research

To seek perfection, Essilor orients its optical research around physiology, psychology and optics. Its team of researchers explore new combinations of materials and treatments to improve the production processes.

Natural Vision Forever

This is our tagline and it symbolises the brand’s promise: a customised lens for natural vision, regardless of the prescription.

Authenticity

Varilux lenses are delivered with a 'certificate of authenticity' sometimes know as guarantee card. This describes the lens’s characteristics and prescription

A Custom Lens

Varilux lenses are designed using five steps: known by our colleagues as the dioptric loop. If any step is not conclusive, the entire process is restarted.
