The lenses offer greater visual freedom, in
contrast to the limitations standard progressive
lenses impose on eye and head postures. By
reducing compensatory head movements by up
to 13% for viewing at 70 cm, wearers can enjoy
natural, unhindered vision all day long.
This complete series of progressive lenses
to address the diverse vision and lifestyle needs of
presbyopes features Seemax Ultimate Z, Seemax
Power Z, Presio Wide Z and Presio Advance Z.
The Z Series Progressives were launched in
India on 13 November at the Marriot Hotel in Goa.
The speakers at the event included Narasimhan
86 | THE INDIAN OPTICIAN | NOV-DEC 2024
Asia; Takeyasu Hirose, Global Marketing & New
Business Development Director, Nikon Lenswear;
Colin Madigan, Senior Head - Global Nikon EPS
Vision Care Division; and Indroneel Chatterji,
Head of Business – Nikon Lenswear India.
Narasimhan said that while the joint venture
between Essilor and Nikon Japan was forged
almost 25 years ago, Nikon continues to be
independently run. Nikon Essilor is present in 50
countries and has shown 77% growth.
Takeyasu stated that the Indian market was an
important one for the company. Essilor appointed
Delta Lens, Mumbai, as the official distributor for
Nikon, Rx Nikon lenses with Crizal in 2007.
In his detailed presentation on the product’s
salient features, Colin also spoke about how
ECPs can improve the vision experience of their
customers even if their prescription (RX) has not
changed. Indroneel gave a detailed presentation
on the premium products, the current market
and a lot more.
A vision Atelier, a mini replica of a retail shop,
set up at the venue, with a complete setup for
refraction testing of a patient and the Nikon
lenses that could be customised for a patient
offered ECPs the opportunity to clear any doubts
with the Nikon team.
The event was topped with a lucky draw that
had great prizes, dinner and live music.
