Varilux Ipseo is the first product in the world to integrate the physiological criteria specific to each individual in addition to the prescription’s parameters. The optical design is customized for each consumer to ensure a perfect match with the individual’s natural physiology and visual needs.

Varilux is the first progressive lens in the world, invented in 1959, and now with Varilux Ipseo, the first lens fully adopted to the wearer, it opens a new horizon and is a perfect illustration of Varilux’s goal to help wearers achieve a better quality of life.

The direct influence of a behavioral variable in vision, lens use, and the fitting of progressive lenses for each individual have been recognized for a number of years. Research shows that visual behavior is not related to age, visual defects, or previous lenses.

The eye-head system operates through a subtle combination of factors – mechanical, sensory, and cognitive – that is unique to each patient and must therefore be measured individually. A clinical study had been conducted in Montreal, Canada to conclude this finding.

Varilux Ipseo goes much further than current progressive lenses, taking into account individual physiological differences, their eye-head strategies. When looking at objects on the side, some will glance while others find it more natural to turn their head. With this difference, every presbyope needs a different lens design to suit their visual needs.

Based on this unique, natural visual style, it is possible to create and optimize the optical design best suited to an individual and only for that individual.

The optical surfaces are then custom-made using revolutionary free-form technologies from Nikon-Essilor in Japan. The result – custom designed lenses that adapt to each person’s visual habits.

It is only available with an index 1.67, Hard and Multicoated, the market’s most effective material and coating. The lenses are engraved with the customer’s initials, visible under a magnifying glass.
