ESSILOR
Crizal Sapphire HR Coating
Essilor of America has announced the launch of Crizal Sapphire HR, the latest innovation of the company’s Crizal No-Glare lens.
Crizal Sapphire HR unites technologies used in previous generations of the coating—360° Multi-Angular Technology and High Surface Density Process—with the addition of Essilor’s new High-Resistance Technology.
According to the company, the 360° Multi-Angular Technology amplifies anti-reflective efficacy, resulting in a more transparent lens, and the High Surface Density Process reinforces resistance to smudges and water on both sides of the lens for easier cleaning. The new High-Resistance Technology reportedly enhances lens durability, and Crizal Sapphire also offers protection from harmful UV light.
According to Essilor, 9 out of 10 wearers state they would purchase Crizal No-Glare lenses again, and 4 out of 5 prefer Crizal No-Glare lenses over ordinary ones.
GSRX
Aura Night+Day Progressive Lens
GSRx has released the Aura Night+Day (ND) progressive lens, a premium fixed-corridor lens that features ND4 Pupil-Optimized Correction, which the company says delivers enhanced contrast and clearer vision at night and in low-light conditions.
The Aura ND lens features the same technology as GSRx’s Epik Variable lens, but its fixed-corridor design allows for specific patient needs. According to GSRx, the technology provides for visual acuity over the entire lens, natural posture while reading, high-quality 3D vision and spatial perception, spontaneous compatibility, sharp vision, and fatigue-free reading.
The Aura ND lens is available in fitting heights of 14, 17, and 20mm. It will be available at one price point for all materials (CR-39, Trivex, PolyTrue, 1.60, TriBrid, and 1.67).
HAAG-STREIT
Imaging Module 910
Haag-Streit has introduced a solution for the increasing demand for slit lamp documentation—the Imaging Module 910. Designed to deliver high-quality images while allowing ECPs to fully concentrate on examining patients, the module works with the turn of a knob without having to operate software, shares Haag-Streit.
The Imaging Module 910 is equipped with improved camera sensors and optics, smart background features such as performant auto-exposure mode and automatic aperture control, and an image selection algorithm that chooses the best image possible, shares the company.
It can be used in standalone mode—which stores images directly in the EMR system—and EyeSuite mode, where image editing and other features are available. haag-streit.com
