NEW YORK — Varilux announced at an Essilor-sponsored press conference during International Vision Expo that its DRx lenses are now available in a wide range of materials.
The new materials include 1.50 plastic, Airwear, Thin & Lite 1.60 and Thin & Lite 1.67, in both clear and Transitions gray and brown, according to a company press release.
Carl Bracy, Essilor's senior vice president of marketing and new business, said at the press event that DRx provides a Varilux product "in a more precise design."
He said the lenses are backed by real-wearer testing, high quality Essilor semi-finished single vision lenses and Essilor's proprietary Digital Surfacing Process control.
