The pioneering spirit that defines Varilux remains unchallenged since 1959, the year when progressive lenses were invented by Bernard Maitenaz, a young optical and mechanical engineer from the Société des Lunetiers.
Today, this same pioneering spirit – born of boldness, patience, determination and a passion for research, all solid Varilux characteristics – drives over 30,000 employees at today's Essilor, a multinational that leads the ophthalmic optical market worldwide.
Essilor Australia is celebrating Varilux’ 50th Birthday with its presence at Odmafair 2009 and a birthday party on the Saturday night. Practices will be asked for their most memorable Varilux experience and one lucky practice will win 50 pairs of complimentary Varilux lenses (including Crizal A2 & Transitions VI ) with a retail value of up to $50,000!*
Focusing on Varilux this year, the theme at the stand will evolve around the recently launched Varilux product range, the Varilux 360º Series. Essilor will also use the platform of Odmafair to introduce an additional new and exciting design.
The much talked about Essilor Visioffice dispensing machine will be presented at Odmafair, allowing visitors to trial the innovation hands on. It incorporates measurement capabilities as well as education and demonstration elements, the practice can benefit from.
The team at Essilor is looking forward to welcoming visitors at stand number 141.
