1 IT S HARD TO FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS WITH FROGGY EYES NEW LINEIS 1.74 THE THINNEST LENS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL FRAMES EVEN RIMLESS New Lineis 1.74

2 WHY SHOULD HIGH MYOPIC OR HIGH HYPERMETROPIC WEARERS COMPROMISE WHEN THEY CHOOSE THEIR SPECTACLES? Until now, high prescription wearers had to choose between ultra-high index lenses bringing them the aesthetics and comfort they need, but only compatible with a limited choice of frames (full rim or nylor/supra frames), or, they could have rimless frames that enhanced the eyes but mounted with a lower index lens material, resulting in a less aesthetic solution. Wearers were limited too in their choice of added values, like tints, Transitions

3 NOW WITH NEW LINEIS 1.74, HIGH PRESCRIPTION WEARERS DON T HAVE TO CHOOSE ANYMORE!

4 Today, 1 out of every 10 wearers has a high prescription (above +5.00D or below -5.00D). High prescription wearers look for solutions that won t emphasise their visual defect, but on the contrary, will enhance their eyes and give them total confidence. Rimless frames are one of the best solutions to answer this need. Today, in the world, rimless frames represent almost 15% of everyday sales at optical practices. Yet, most 1.74 index lenses are not suitable for rimless frames, as they are too fragile. New Lineis 1.74: An Essilor Innovation Essilor combined its knowledge with the latest progress of the chemical industry to develop NEW LINEIS 1.74: THE THINNEST LENS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL FRAMES EVEN RIMLESS. Thanks to very strong mechanical properties, this lens is perfect for rimless frames. The best in class for real life performance The Butterfly test is used to test spectacles in real life conditions and measure life span. This test consists of fitting rimless frames with lenses and flexing the side arms of the frame. We measure the number of repetitions that make the lens crack: the longer the lens resists, the better it is.
