Nikon's expertise in your eyeglass lenses
The clarity of vision you enjoy through your Nikon lenses contains everything we have learned and developed at Nikon.
With over 100 years of expertise in optics, we have developed a solid R&D ecosystem where all the characteristics of our Nikon DNA combine harmoniously to support and strengthen each other.
With the Nikon Core Technology Center, all of Nikon's activities collaborate synergistically to constantly innovate and stimulate creativity.
Our technologies
We are passionate about visual excellence. That’s why we focus on every detail and invest in research, development, and innovation to provide you with the most advanced and comfortable technologies.
NODE: a revolutionary perspective
Your Nikon eyeglass lenses are individually crafted for a custom result. They are calculated using the Nikon Optical Design Engine in Japan, rigorously applying the measurements (up to 20 parameters) sent by your optician.
The Nikon Optical Design Engine is an extremely powerful calculator that allows for the design of each model at the submicron scale using infinite calculation loops.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with custom vision solutions.
How are the lenses made?
By combining clear, thin materials with sharp designs and high-performance coatings.
This is how Nikon lenses provide wearers with exceptional visual quality.
Let’s take a closer look at what they are made of.
The materials
Purity and homogeneity are two essential factors in providing lenses with a high level of transmission, so that the maximum amount of light passes through.
Nikon is known for using some of the finest and clearest ophthalmic glasses on the market.
The coatings
Coatings do much more than protect you from unsightly reflections on your lenses. They filter light, reduce glare, and protect the lenses.
They are applied to the outer layer of the lenses to repel water and oil, prevent static electricity, and improve scratch resistance, but also to filter light waves, resulting in cleaner and clearer lenses that are also more durable and comfortable.
The optical design
The design of eyeglass lenses determines how they function and correct your vision. Do you need to see better far away? Up close? Both?
Our advanced and exclusive design technologies are an integral part of the high performance of our lenses, providing you with clear and distortion-free vision.
