VARIOVID VOLTERRA, SILMO D’OR 2019

Leica Eyecare is proud to announce the launch of its new VARIOVID VOLTERRA progressive lens with ÉO-TECH Technology.

Leica Eyecare will revolutionize the visual comfort of all “presbyopic people”. This extraordinary lens comes from an advanced calculation method of the Freeform surfaces, after several years of internal development

How did we finalize the Design of the lens? By applying the mathematical series of Vito Volterra (Italian mathematician 1860-1940) in the calculation of lens design. The Volterra series have been mainly used in other areas (such as acoustics), but have never been used in optics. We have created the first “equalizer” of optical surfaces, which gives wearers the feeling of wearing single vision lenses.

This disruptive and revolutionary technology reduces optical aberrations by 50% to 65%.

On the occasion of the first presentation of the lens, we were proudly awarded the highest award in the optical industry as confirmation. The Silmo d’Or 2019
