" The first image on the left shows an eye for moving power "aim" points needed to focus on specific location (attachment point). Every time that happens, the region also involved the eyeball moves in case the pupil, watching the goal of setting the look. this dynamic, a region of the eyeball never moves, regardless of distance or angle that eyeball moves to get your point of aim. This region is the CRO of the globe. All manufacturers consider the CRO for the creation of eyeglass lenses, but the CRO which is used for this is the default value, that is, the rotational center of eye 13 is that emetrope , 5mm more vertex distance of 12mm, as the illustration. The vast majority of corrective lenses is developed through this code value physiological standardized. Scientific studies have shown that the value of the distance between the lens of the eyeglasses and 30% ORC may vary from individual to individual taking into account mainly the vertex distance (setting depends frame) and also its refractive myopia as the (largest CRO) or hyperopia (CRO smaller). Knowing that the CRO varies from person to person, Essilor has developed a new generation of custom lenses, where consumers can experience a new experience adaptation, using lenses developed according to their own physiological code. Employment of CRO individual for making custom lenses from Essilor is called by the same name and Eyecode, Eyecode, which identifies the lens is equipped with this technological innovation. According with information from Essilor, the real benefits that consumers have with Eyecode lenses are:

1. 5X more precision in making the design of the lens, which makes iteven more personalized.
2. Adaptation immediate and effortless , since the lenses are made ​​through the user's individual characteristics, obtained by mesuração its physiological single code.
3. Better peripheral vision , as the lateral distortions are positioned outside the field of view of the customer, making the useful areas of the lens are wider. Consumers will benefit from better peripheral vision as much as with the head moving with the reduction of buoyancy effects.
4. Better perception of the contrast of the images, causing the user to have a broad vision with vivid colors and precise.
5. The user can further customize your lens if you choose to write your initials for free.

The Eyecode can only be measured through the use of Visioffice,  "a tool that enables the optical provide the best shopping experience for eyeglass wearers. easy, fast and accurate, but it performs a dynamic measurement that considers the natural posture of the user , respecting the inclination of the head and, thus, the true lens wear. "

Recalling that the Visioffice also calculates the parameters "Fit" which are the pantoscopic angle, vertex distance and curvature of the frame, the coefficient of eye / head stability and Varilux lenses Ipseo New Edition.

Many imagine that only presbyopes multifocal lenses Varilux users will enjoy this new generation of lenses, but the big surprise is that users do not presbyopes monofocal lens will also enjoy all this customization through the lens Essilor Advans f-360 ° Eyecode.
