Prescription lenses NEXO - Designed to meet the challenges of a modern lifestyle.
In today's world, it is standard to spend a lot of time working in close proximity. Working at a computer or browsing a smartphone are just some of the activities that strain our eyesight. Over time, we may begin to feel discomfort when looking at close distances. This is because the muscles responsible for changing the power of the intraocular lens of the eye tense up and there is a problem with their proper relaxation.

What are Nexo relaxation glasses?

Relaxation glasses are the single vision lenses of the 21st century. When looking into the distance, they ensure sharpness of vision, while in the near they support vision by a small addition of power in the lower areas of the lens. As a result, the eyes perform less accommodative effort and the user feels relaxed and comfortable vision when performing near tasks.




EasyWorkprescription lenses are modern lenses for those who want to enjoy a wide field of vision while working indoors. They allow you to assume a natural, comfortable body position while working. For people working indoors, with devices emitting blue-violet light, they are recommended with an additional anti-reflective coating Ideal Max Blue UV.




InRoomPrescription Lenses Allow you to clearly see objects that are close to your eyes and those in the middle distance. Thanks to these glasses, work commonly referred to as office work is comfortable for the eyesight. If you look at an LCD screen for a long time in your work, choose InRoom lenses with the Ideal Max Blue UV coating.




Alteo are progressive prescription lenses for demanding wearers.
A new generation of progressive lenses as versatile as our lives.
NIV BOOST CONTROL technology.
It is designed to provide optimal visual acuity for both near and intermediate vision.

Each area of ​​vision (near, intermediate, and far) is designed to minimize its impact on the others, so the near and intermediate fields of vision can be expanded simultaneously. New aspherical surface design combining the mid-range and near vision area generated simultaneously during the calculation of the lens design.
Alteo uses the excellent technologies of its predecessors, including

Vision Booster Technology

Thanks to the new calculation model, the design of Alteo lenses is based on five times more optimized points compared to the previous generation of progressive lenses.
The result is increased contrast and wider fields of vision. In addition, the new calculation model treats the lens surface as a collection of many small elements that are subjected to separate aspherization processes. As a result, spectacle wearers gain wider fields of near and intermediate vision, and much smoother transitions between visual zones at different distances.

Biometric Technology

The construction of the lens takes into account the differences in the structure of the eye: myopic, farsighted and regular
- The longer eye (nearsighted) uses a larger area of ​​the lens.
- The shorter eye (farsighted) needs a softer surface to best compensate for the higher density of aberrations.

Technical characteristics:

- simultaneous optimization of visual acuity for near and intermediate areas,
- personalization taking into account the anatomy of the eye,
- produced in digital Free Form technology using NIV BOOST CONTROL, VISION Booster and Biometric Technology,
- asymmetric and aspherical design,

Benefits:

- clear vision at any distance,
- the elegant look of your glasses,
- comfort of use, without having to change glasses for near, far and intermediate vision,

Protective coatings and improving comfort of use:












Ideal Max® Blue UVis a multi-layer anti-reflective coating that protects your eyesight against UV radiation and filters blue-violet light¹. Additionally, it provides glasses with maximum protection against scratches.

The influence of blue-violet¹ and UV radiation on humans.

Excess blue-violet radiation¹ adversely affects eyesight. It causes visual fatigue and may contribute to degenerative changes in the retina and macula. Moreover, exposure to blue-violet light¹ in the evening adversely affects the quality of sleep. This is because blue light helps maintain your circadian rhythm during the day, but too much of it late at night (such as reading on a phone, smartphone or computer) can disrupt this cycle, potentially causing sleepless nights and daytime fatigue.
Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause a number of eye health problems.

Glasses with the Ideal Max® Blue UV anti-reflective coating are ideal for people who:

- they use devices with screens, e.g. smartphone, tablet, computer monitor, TV,
- want to protect their eyesight against UV radiation as well as they protect their skin against excessive sunlight (they use cosmetics with a UV filter, appropriate clothing, avoid the sun in the afternoon),
- for a long time they want to use glasses that remain in good condition, without damage to the surfaces of the glasses.

Polarized Xperio lenses protect your eyesight from the glare of the sun and eliminate blinding reflections that occur when light reflects from flat surfaces - wet roads, water surfaces, snow. This increases the visual contrast and colors are seen clearly. Additionally, the shapes and outlines of visible objects, e.g. oncoming cars, are more clearly visible.

Recommendation:
Xperio glass is a good choice for all outdoor activities, allowing you to look at the surrounding world comfortably and safely. Xperio polarized lenses are recommended for drivers and people practicing various outdoor sports. They block UV rays falling on the front lenses.
One of the most troublesome phenomena drivers face are blinding reflections.

Their source is most often intense sunlight that is reflected from the road surface or dashboard. An effective way to eliminate this unfavorable phenomenon is to use polarized glasses. Natural light that is reflected from a flat surface becomes polarized light. The polarizing filter blocks polarized light, ensuring visual comfort.
The color of Xperio lenses is designed to limit excess sunlight while ensuring correct recognition of traffic lights during the day, which is very important for drivers. Road safety is the most important value, so it is worth remembering when choosing glasses.
Possible solutions:
In the JZO offer, Xperio glasses can be made without corrective power - for people who do not have vision defects, and with a specific corrective power - for use by nearsighted or farsighted people. They are also offered as progressive lenses for presbyopes. JZO recommends Xperio glass with modern anti-reflective coatings with UV technology.
