Nikon Lenses

Custom made lenses by Nikon.

Lenses uniquely tailored to fit your visual needs.

With a Nikon Lens, you truly get a custom made experience manufactured for your personal prescription. The information given by your local optician can simply be added at the checkout after you have picked your favourite frames. Nikon then uses this information to create your personalised designer glasses.

To determine how the lenses will be positioned in front of your eyes, individual measurements must be taken. Shape and fitting parameters of your frame are all considered when Nikon uses their advanced technology to create your lenses; this significantly improves the performance of the lenses and has an important role in your visual perception.

Everyone lives a different lifestyle so there are different lens types to fit everyone’s needs.

More than 12 parameters will be used to calculate your lens design:

These are the 12 design parameters used to calculate your lens. These are then electronically transmitted to Nikon's Optical Design Engine in Japan. High precision digital surfacing tools are then used to manufacture your lenses specially designed to give superior vision performance.
